Lamborghini has yet to commit to what type of vehicle will act as its fourth model in the coming years.
During an interview with Autocar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed over the weekend, company boss Stefano Domenicali said a new Lamborghini model is unlikely to arrive before the middle of next decade.
As the vehicle’s launch is so far away, the Italian marque is keeping its options open as to what form the car will take. The two current options are either a four-door, front-engine GT or a third mid-engine supercar to sit alongside the replacements to the Lamborghini Aventador and Huracan.
According to Domenicali, the recently-launched Urus has transformed the brand to such an extent that it doesn’t necessarily need another vehicle to redefine the company further, like a road-going Estoque may.
“We need stability next. There is a saying in Italy that if you take a step that’s longer than your leg, you’re sure to fall. We don’t have to be too hungry; we should keep our feet on the ground, and not think too short-term.
“When the time is right, we have several ideas as to what might be the model to add, for sure. But this is about making the right decision at the right time – and we can’t make it now.
“As Urus shows us, we need to be what the customer wants; it takes time to know, you can’t just smell it in the air. So I don’t see a fourth model coming before 2024 or 2025,” Domenicalli said.
If things had gone a little differently for Lamborghini in the past 10 years, it could have already had a four model range. A decade ago, the automaker unveiled its spectacular Estoque sedan concept and initially, said that it would reach the production line. That never happened and it wasn’t until 2018 that the brand’s third model, in the form of the Urus, actually hit the market.
