Lamborghini will not give up on its V12 engine

As it seems, Lamborghini will definitely not give up on its V12 engine, as the arrival of the successor to the Lamborghini Anentador has been announced for 2023. After the LP 780-4 ULTIMAE, the new supersport model from Lamborghini will be the first model in the history of the brand with a V12 engine assisted by electrification.

The V12 engine has been completely redesigned, confirmed Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini Cars S.p.A.

“The technology is different, it’s a whole new engine, a whole new drive, a new battery, everything is brand new,” Stephan Winkelmann said.

The more expressive design is based on Sian FKP or Essenza SCV12. The distinctive body shape will be retained as well as the doors that open upwards, while aerodynamic elements such as the large wing and rear diffuser will be even more emphasized.

Lamborghini is planned to produce hybrid versions of all its models by 2024, while the all-electric Lamborghini has been announced by the end of the decade.

The new generation of the BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series and 5 Series Hybrid Sedan G60 Prototype were spotted on the streets of Munich. The cars are wrapped in camouflage, as it is obvious that BMW has not opted for the final design.

Although the final design has not been revealed, some rumors say the new generation will have a new front grille, a plug-in hybrids charging connector, and could have an increasingly popular light strip on the trunk bulge. We can say that BMW is playing it safe with the new generation 5 Series.

The interior was not revealed, since the car was filmed in motion. But previous testing suggests the 5 Series could have iDrive 8 infotainment.

Speaking of powertrain, the 5 Series will most likely be powered by standard ICE and hybrid engines. According to some information, BMW also plans to produce a fully electric model, which should be positioned between the i4 and i7.

The arrival of the new generation 5 Series is expected in 2023.
