Lamborghini Delays Launching First Evs To 2029, Says Will Always Make Cars In Italy

"We do not think 2029 is late to have an electric car. We do not think that, in our segment, the market will be ready in 2025 or 2026," Winkelmann told reporters at Lamborghini's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese, near the northern Italian city of Bologna.

Lamborghini from this year has an entire hybrid three-model line-up, with the new version of Urus SE SUV, the Revuelto sports car and the new Temerario sports car, presented during the summer and which has a price of over $315,000, excluding value-added tax.

Winkelmann said Lamborghini was not in a hurry to push for electrification. The company also is waiting for a clearer regulatory outlook in the European Union, as a review of the bloc's ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035 is currently scheduled in 2026.

"We think this is the right way to face the future," he said. "There are discussions around synthetic fuels and this is an opportunity for our kind of cars".

Winkelmann, who reiterated there were no plans for a Lamborghini spin-off from the Volkswagen group, said Lamborghini cars would always be produced in Italy.

Asked whether he saw any business impact following the election of Donald Trump as the next US president and his threat of new tariffs on European-made products, Winkelmann declined to comment but added: "we cannot think of a Lamborghini being manufactured outside of Italy or of Sant'Agata".
