Lamborghini's Electric GT?

Lamborghini has chosen to add a fourth car to their line up and instead of going for another mid-engined supercar the brand has instead opted for a 2+2 grand tourer inspired by their 2008 Estoque concept. There have been debates over whether this car will be mid or front engined however according to Lamborghini R&D boss Maurizio Reggiani it could possibly be the brands first electric car.

Reggiani said that Lamborghini could use an electric car platform from the Volkswagen Group which they are a part of. The most likely candidate for this would be the current PPE platform which is used by the Porsche Taycan and the upcoming Audi E-tron GT. This will help Lamborghini lower development costs of a pure electric model.

When it comes to the performance of the GT Reggiani said that the performance is important but not as important as it for their super-sport cars. It is however quite likely that the 2025 GT will have a 0-100 kmh time of less than 3 seconds seeing as the Urus which will be much larger is almost at that time.

If Lamborghini does make an all electric vehicle it will most likely feature the tech from the hybrid Sian. The Sian used a supercapacitor which gains power from the regenerative braking system and uses it to boost the car. The supercapacitor is the same weight as as a lithium ion cell but is three times as powerful.

If Lamborghini goes through with their plans to build the 2+2 grand tourer the car will be arriving in 2025 potentially as Lamborghini's first fully electric vehicle.
