Lamborghini recently announced plans to introduce four vehicles this year and now we’re learning more about them.
In an interview with Car Magazine, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said “there will be two derivatives from the Huracan coming up” and “there will be a facelift that will be split into two for the Urus. So there will be four new products that we present this year.”
While Winkelmann didn’t elaborate, one of the Huracans will likely be the Sterrato variant that was snapped by spy photographers earlier this month. The other Huracan is a bit more mysterious, but the publication believes it will be a Huracan JV Stradale which their sources described as a “911 GT3 Touring-like stealth variant of the Huracan STO.”

It remains unclear why the Urus debut is being “split into two,” but spy photographers have already snapped the facelifted crossover undisguised. However, Winkelmann confirmed one of them isn’t the plug-in hybrid variant as PHEV versions of the Urus and the Huracan will come in 2024, one year after the Aventador successor debuts.
Speaking of the upcoming plug-in hybrids, Winkelmann confirmed the Urus PHEV will have a V8 while the Aventador successor will use a V12. While he declined to say what configuration the plug-in hybrid Huracan will have, the executive described it as a “completely new engine” with “nothing in common with the Urus or Aventador engine.”
Car Magazine believes the engine will be designed in-house, instead of sourced from elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group. The publication also suggests it could have a 10,000 rpm redline as well as a combined output of around 850 hp (634 kW / 862 PS) when the hybrid system is factored in.
Officials also revealed the company is starting to give serious thought to their upcoming fourth model, which will be an EV. The vehicle is still in the “strategy planning” stage, but the company is currently testing a lot of electric vehicles to get the lay of the land.
