In August 2023, Lamborghini announced the arrival of its first all-electric car, the Lanzador, as a GT with high ground clearance. The plan was for the car to debut by 2028, but the latest information suggests that this will not happen before 2029.

The decline in demand for electric cars has forced most manufacturers to postpone the transition to fully electric cars, so it can be said that the same reason was in this case. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said that the company is enthusiastic about the possibilities of the new hybrid model Revuelto, but that the Lanzador will not arrive on the market as planned, but a year later. He also added that synthetic fuels could be the future.

The design of the Lamborghini Lanzador is inspired by the Sesto Elemento, Murcialago and Countach LPI 800-4. The front part shows that it is undoubtedly a Lamborghini, while the side and three-quarters of the rear resemble an off-road vehicle. On the other hand, it cannot be confused with the current Lamborghini Urus. It is equipped with active suspension and active aerodynamics.

The interior of the car is covered with materials mainly produced in Italy. The thread is made from recycled plastic, while the seat foam and some other parts are made from recycled 3D printed plastic. The carbon fiber used in the interior also contains recycled elements like recycled PET, and even the water used to dye the leather is taken from olive oil plants.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Lanzador will have two electric motors and AWD. 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.

And while other manufacturers are abandoning the rapid transition to fully electric cars, Lamborghini has remained determined on the path of electrification of its fleet. This was confirmed by Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, who said that their first all-electric GT crossover, the Lamborghini Lanzador, will hit the market by the end of the decade.

In an interview with Autocar, Winkelmann said: “We have enough time to decide whether to accelerate or delay the introduction of electric cars. For now, we are not thinking about delaying anything, we said we want to have our first electric car by the end of this decade and that is something we continue to nurture, because we said there should be an additional car, a fourth model.”

Lamborghini currently has hybrid cars in its range, which is a sign that the company has made smart moves and started a gradual transition to full electrification, unlike some other manufacturers who, due to the decline in demand for electric cars, suffered a huge financial loss.

Lamborghini Lanzador is described as a GT with high ground clearance, but with a design that it is not something that a typical crossover offers. The front part shows that it is undoubtedly a Lamborghini, while the side and three-quarters of the rear resemble an off-road vehicle. On the other hand, it cannot be confused with the current Lamborghini Urus.

Inside, the car offers a lot of space, and the rear doors offer access to a large luggage compartment, which can be increased by folding down the rear seats. The materials used are mainly produced in Italy and the thread is made from recycled plastic, while the seat foam and some other parts are made from recycled 3D printed plastic. The carbon fiber used in the interior also contains recycled elements like recycled PET, and even the water used to dye the leather is taken from olive oil plants.
