The hybrid-hypercar revolution is among us, with Ferrari, Porsche, and McLaren dictating the big boys league segment with their outrageously fast and complex models. And it seems like the only mainstream supercar maker missing the party is Lamborghini.
But the Italians may have other plans for the future, as a report from AutoBild (via Youtube) says the VW-owned company is working on a new electric model that’ll share the same J1 modular architecture with Porsche’s upcoming Mission E model – since the J1 platform will be scalable and (eventually) underpin other models.
Named the Vitola, the Lambo will reportedly use a fast-charging system, develop more power than the Aventador SV, and, subsequently, the Mission E, and sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.
Although the company repeatedly stated that an all-electric model isn’t on its horizon, Lambo could make it as an extremely limited model, like the Veneno or Centenario. Furthermore, if such a car will ever exist, it will be a far cry from Lambo’s normal power-hungry, noise-making agenda, especially as its only electrically aided model was the one-of-one Asterion Concept. Either way, you should take this information with a grain of salt.
