Lamborghini gives up on new SUVs

Lamborghini has only one SUV in its fleet, the Urus, and the latest information suggests that it will remain so in the future. However, some rumors say that this is just a trick and that the Italian brand could soon introduce one or two new SUV models, considering their growing demand.

Chief Marketing & Sales Officer Federico Foschini said that SUV models are not the focus of the company, but the super sports cars they are known for. He believes that any new SUV, smaller or larger, would not be in line with the brand’s philosophy: “We would rather leave the production of such SUVs to one of the other companies that are under the umbrella of Volkswagen.”

Lamborghini currently has several outstanding super cars in its offer, such as the Revuelto, which is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine in combination with three electric motors for a total of 1,015 horsepower. Also, the Italian brand announced the arrival of the Lanzador for 2029, as a GT with high ground clearance, inspired by the Sesto Elemento, Murcialago and Countach LPI 800-4. It will be equipped with the new Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVi) driving dynamics control system, and new technology that, thanks to sensors, adapts the car’s dynamics to the driver through a sophisticated algorithm. When it comes to the powertrain, the Lanzador will have two electric motors and AWD.

Lamborghini achieved revenue of €3.09 billion

The year 2024 was very successful for Lamborghini and the company made a profit of 3.09 billion euros (16.2 percent). It was the first time that the Italian brand achieved revenue of more than three billion, with 10,687 cars sold (+5.7 percent).

“Evolving the entire product range while continuing to grow: this is how we can summarize another record year for Automobili Lamborghini. Despite the difficulties in the automotive market and the highly competitive climate, in 2024 we recorded growth in all three macro regions (Americas, EMEA and APAC), confirming the global strength of the brand. These results highlight the strengths of our extraordinary team and fill us with confidence and determination as we embrace the next challenges in the sector, continuing to combine performance, exclusivity and innovation,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

Lamborghini achieved its record revenue after renewing the entire range of hybrids. More than half of Lamborghini’s sales last year, 5,662, were actually Urus. The company sold 3,609 Huracans, as well as 1,406 Revuelto supercars. Ten Aventadors were also sold, while Lamborghini increased production of its hybrid replacement. Operating income was €835 million (+15.5 percent compared to 2023).

The company continued to grow from both a financial and a business perspective in 2024, confirming similar levels of profitability recorded by the leading global luxury brands. In this challenging context, our goal remains that of achieving sustainable growth from both a financial and environmental point of view, creating value for all our stakeholders,” said Paolo Poma, Managing Director and CFO of Automobili Lamborghini.

Currently, Lamborghini is developing its first all-electric car, the Lanzador, as a GT with high ground clearance. This model will debut in 2029, and it is expected to, in addition to the existing offer, further increase the sales and profits of the company.

The Beast is an extreme version of the Lamborghini Diablo

The Beast is an extreme creation of the Japanese company Value Progress, based on the Lamborghini Diablo. The car was presented at the Osaka Auto Messe and the company has not announced when The Beast will go on sale.

The car is painted in Italian red with Dark gray and purple details. It is 5,030 mm long, 2,400 mm wide, and 1,260 mm high, which means that it is 570 mm longer and 360 mm wider than the standard Diablo. Its appearance is enhanced by an elongated front end, a hood with ventilation openings and a pronounced splitter. The rear end brings an extended rear fender, a massive rear wing connected to the roof by a central fin. The use of a large number of wings and ventilation openings in the design is inspired by the Japanese bosozoku automotive culture.

In addition to vertically stacked headlights and high-positioned fog lights, The Beast has eight taillights and four high-mounted exhaust pipes. The car also gets a premium suspension and an upgraded braking system.

As for the powertrain, The Beast is powered by a 5.7-L V12 engine mated to a manual transmission. The same engine powers the Lamborghini Diablo, however, the company has not revealed the engine’s performance, but depending on the version, this engine develops between 485 and 603 hp.
