Lamborghini Lanzador Supercar Switches to Plug-in Hybrid, Still Targeting 2028 Production

The Lamborghini Lanzador supercar will enter production as scheduled in 2028, despite being shifted from a fully electric configuration to a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The model made its debut at The Quail motorsport gathering in the U.S. in 2023, initially positioned as Lamborghini’s first all-electric vehicle, featuring a dual-motor setup delivering a maximum output of 1,341 horsepower. In February 2026, Lamborghini announced a redesign of this four-seat, two-door grand tourer, adopting a plug-in hybrid system that combines an internal combustion engine with electric motors. During Monterey Car Week in 2026, Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Lamborghini, stated that customers had “welcomed” the change very positively and that prospective buyers were satisfied with the revised approach. The exact powertrain specifications for the production hybrid Lanzador have not yet been disclosed, though media reports speculate it may feature a "through-the-road" all-wheel-drive layout—with electric motors powering the front wheels and a V8 or V12 engine driving the rear wheels—paired with an electrified eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
