Lamborghini is entirely committed to all-electric power despite having some of the best internal combustion engines in its portfolio. The new Lamborghini Lanzador concept has given us a fresh look into the Italian company’s plans for a production EV. The vehicle made its public debut during the Californian Monterey Car Week in 2023.
The Lanzador concept car has a fully-electric powertrain as well as a unique body style with a 2+2 seating arrangement, high ground clearance and an elegant look. Talking about the new car, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said, “We are opening a new car segment: the Ultra GT. This will offer customers a new, unparalleled Lamborghini driving experience thanks to pioneering technologies.”
Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s head of design, explained the process of creating the Lanzador’s stunning look. “The proportions are new, with the potential to create an entirely new automotive segment. The Lanzador presents super sports car volumes but with the pilot in a slightly higher position, echoing that of the Huracán Sterrato.”
According to Lamborghini, all of the interior’s sustainable materials came from Italy. The foam for the seats is created from recycled fibres, the carbon fibre for the centre console and door panels is made from regenerated carbon and the wool upholstery for the dashboard, seats and door trimmings is also recycled.
There are no performance figures or specifications for the battery, however, Lamborghini claims that the power is sent to a “high specific power” electric motor on each axle for permanent all-wheel drive. Lamborghini further claims that there will be “no compromises in power, driving pleasure or performance”.
The Lanzador also has rear-wheel steering, air suspension, active aerodynamics, and a new electronic torque distribution system to increase driving dynamics.
