Lamborghini is working on its first all-electric vehicle, which will be based on the Lanzador concept revealed in 2023. The EV will be built on a dedicated platform designed for Volkswagen Group’s performance and luxury brands.

Speaking at Volkswagen Group’s annual media conference, CEO Oliver Blum e confirmed that the platform, developed by Porsche, will be shared with Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche. It will support up to 1,973 bhp and a 980V electrical architecture. Blume described it as a "very specific setup" tailored for Lamborghini.

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann previously suggested that the upcoming EV would have at least 1,341 bhp, emphasizing that while high power is crucial, driver engagement and emotional appeal remain the brand’s priority.

The 980V electrical system marks a major step for Volkswagen Group’s performance models. While most EVs use a 400V architecture, an increasing number are shifting to 800V for faster charging and improved efficiency. Some Chinese manufacturers have already introduced 900V systems.

Blume confirmed that the new EV will be assembled at Lamborghini’s headquarters in Sant’Agata, Italy, though details on battery and body production remain undisclosed. He assured, “I promise that it will be a typical Lamborghini, something very emotional.”

As the brand’s first EV, the model will not replace an existing car but instead expand Lamborghini’s lineup. Winkelmann noted that this reduces the risk of sales cannibalization and could even boost overall volumes.

“We have enough time to decide if we need to accelerate or delay the introduction of electric cars,” he said. “So far, we are not considering any delays. Our goal remains to launch our first electric car by the end of the decade. It w i l l be an additional model – a fourth car – with a new body style that will attract new customers to Lamborghini.”

Lamborghini’s current lineup is now fully hybrid, including the Revuelto V12, the Urus SE SUV, and the newly launched Temerario.

The production version of the Lanzador EV is set to debut by 2030.
