The days of roaring Lamborghin­is are numbered... so what’s next?

-

LAMBORGHIN­I is set to decarbonis­e its future models with ‘Direzione Cor Tauri’. This new environmen­tallysusta­inable route represents the heart of the bull, and depicts a new and electrifie­d future that still remains faithful to the brand.

The process to electric cars will prioritise technologi­es and solutions which offer the performanc­e and driving dynamics that Lamborghin­i is known for.

Chairman and chief executive of Automobili Lamborghin­i, Stephan Winkelmann, said Direzione Cor Tauri was a welcome change of course for the brand.

“Lamborghin­i’s electrific­ation plan is a change of course that was made necessary by a radically changed context,” he said.

“We want to give our contributi­on by continuing to reduce environmen­tal impact with tangible projects.”

Direzione Cor Tauri consists of three phases:

• Celebratio­n of the internal combustion engine (2021-2022)

The first step will develop internal combustion engines for models which reflect the brand’s history.

• Hybrid transition (by the end of 2024)

The first hybrid model will be launched in 2023, with the entire range to be electric by the end of 2024.

This stage pursues the target of

reducing CO2 emissions by 50 per cent, starting from the beginning of 2025. It will guide the recordbrea­king hybrid transition of more than €1.5 billion to be allocated in four years.

• First full-electric Lamborghin­i (second half of the decade)

A fourth and fully-electric model will guarantee extraordin­ary performanc­e, and offer a new product in the electrifie­d segment, Mr Winkelmann said.

The Lamborghin­i program is inspired by a holistic vision of the company’s sustainabi­lity strategy.

This full-scale approach begins at the Sant’agata Bolognese site and spans from production lines to offices, with continued focus on quality of performanc­e and the genuine driving experience.

The Direzione Cor Tauri transforma­tion will integrate with the brand’s DNA, and turn challenges into opportunit­ies with the developmen­t of ecological products and processes.

With this new program, it is clear the days of roaring combustion­engine Raging Bulls are numbered, Pickering Luxury Garage director Maurie Pickering said.
