Lamborghini Is Asking Fans If It Should Invest In Plug-In Hybrids Or EVs

The auto industry is at a crossroads as the future is looking increasingly electric.

This has a number of companies rethinking their plans and a handful are going EV-only.

Lamborghini appears to be on the fence as the company is asking website visitors for their views on sustainability and the automaker’s future. While a number of the questions aren’t very interesting, two stand out.

The first asks “In which type of technology should Lamborghini invest for an even more sustainable future?” It then gives four options including plug-in hybrid, electric and fuel cell powertrains as well as traditional internal combustion engines.

We probably shouldn’t read too much into it, but Lamborghini hasn’t been shy about their plans for a hybridized Aventador successor. The model is slated to retain a naturally aspirated V12 engine, but adopt a “hybrid motor” to deal with increasing fuel economy and emission standards. Details are scare, but the Aventador successor is expected to be a plug-in hybrid with a front-mounted electric motor.

Longer term, it remains unclear if Lamborghini will go electric or stick with plug-in hybrids. However, it looks like models driven exclusively by internal combustion engines will become a thing of the past.

The second question asks whether or not the company should use recycled or “eco-sustainable” materials inside their vehicles. There’s no word on what Lamborghini is considering, but Ford has been using soybean-based foam for over a decade and this has prevented more than 228 million pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

Regardless of what Lamborghini has planned, it appears the company is eyeing a more sustainable future.
