Originally billed as the brand\u2019s first pure EV, the 2+2 grand tourer may instead debut as a plug-in hybrid, depending on how the market evolves. Chief Technology Officer Rouven Mohr confirmed that a decision will come by the end of 2025, this will be leaving fans and rivals guessing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_figureContainer__kdsyO wp-block-image size-full fade-in-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Lamborghini Lanzador\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 750px) 750px, calc(100vw - 60px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_16,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_32,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_48,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_64,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_96,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_128,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_256,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_384,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_640,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_750,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_828,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1080,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1200,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1920,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_2048,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE0NzYwODA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473443.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"styles_imageCaptionText__DBytL\"> <span>Source: <!-- -->Lamborghini<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<p><button aria-label=\"Show caption\" class=\"styles_imageCaptionButton__cF1VI\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"styles_imageCaptionIcon__6rcIe\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12 22a9.6 9.6 0 0 1-3.863-.784 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-3.186-2.167 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-2.167-3.186A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 2 12q0-2.049.784-3.853a10.3 10.3 0 0 1 2.157-3.196 10.2 10.2 0 0 1 3.186-2.167Q9.942 2 11.99 2c2.048 0 2.654.261 3.863.784a10.2 10.2 0 0 1 3.196 2.167 10.2 10.2 0 0 1 2.167 3.196A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 22 12a9.6 9.6 0 0 1-.784 3.863 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-2.167 3.186 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-3.196 2.167A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 12 22m0-1.667a8.15 8.15 0 0 0 3.245-.647 8.5 8.5 0 0 0 2.657-1.784 8.3 8.3 0 0 0 1.784-2.657A8.15 8.15 0 0 0 20.333 12a8.15 8.15 0 0 0-.647-3.245 8.4 8.4 0 0 0-1.794-2.657 8.1 8.1 0 0 0-2.657-1.784 8.15 8.15 0 0 0-3.245-.647 8.15 8.15 0 0 0-3.245.647 8.2 8.2 0 0 0-2.647 1.784 8.5 8.5 0 0 0-1.784 2.657A8.3 8.3 0 0 0 3.676 12q0 1.736.638 3.245a8.5 8.5 0 0 0 1.784 2.657 8.5 8.5 0 0 0 2.657 1.784 8.15 8.15 0 0 0 3.245.647m-1.716-2.853a.7.7 0 0 1-.51-.196.65.65 0 0 1-.205-.49q0-.295.206-.49a.7.7 0 0 1 .51-.196H11.5v-4.5h-1.049a.7.7 0 0 1-.51-.196.65.65 0 0 1-.206-.49q0-.295.206-.49a.7.7 0 0 1 .51-.197h1.843q.372 0 .569.245.195.236.196.638v4.99h1.216a.7.7 0 0 1 .51.196q.205.196.205.49 0 .295-.206.49a.7.7 0 0 1-.51.196zm1.628-8.882q-.53 0-.902-.373a1.23 1.23 0 0 1-.373-.901q0-.54.373-.912.372-.373.902-.373.54 0 .902.373.372.372.372.912 0 .529-.372.901a1.2 1.2 0 0 1-.902.373\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-lamborghini-is-hesitant\"><strong>Why Lamborghini Is Hesitant<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Lamborghini knows its customer base. The buyers who fuel sales in Sant\u2019Agata aren\u2019t clamoring for silence; they want power, drama, and above all, the kind of engine notes that make a valet turn their head. That\u2019s why the company has worked so hard to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/how-lamborghini-plans-to-keep-the-legendary-v12-engine-alive\">keep its legendary V12 engine alive<\/a>, reengineering it to meet emissions standards even as rivals rush toward all-electric lineups. For Lamborghini, electrification is about balance, not absolutes.<\/p>\n<p>Mohr admitted that demand for expensive EVs has cooled, which is why a PHEV option is firmly on the table. CEO Stephan Winkelmann echoed this earlier this year, hinting that technology and customer acceptance, and not regulatory pressure alone, would dictate timing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_figureContainer__kdsyO wp-block-image size-full fade-in-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Lamborghini Lanzador\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 750px) 750px, calc(100vw - 60px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_16,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_32,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_48,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_64,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_96,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_128,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_256,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_384,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_640,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_750,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_828,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1080,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1200,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1920,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_2048,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExNjE1MDIyOTQ4\/lamborghini-lanzador-473441.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"styles_imageCaptionText__DBytL\"> <span>Source: <!-- -->Lamborghini<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<p><button aria-label=\"Show caption\" class=\"styles_imageCaptionButton__cF1VI\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"styles_imageCaptionIcon__6rcIe\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12 22a9.6 9.6 0 0 1-3.863-.784 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-3.186-2.167 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-2.167-3.186A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 2 12q0-2.049.784-3.853a10.3 10.3 0 0 1 2.157-3.196 10.2 10.2 0 0 1 3.186-2.167Q9.942 2 11.99 2c2.048 0 2.654.261 3.863.784a10.2 10.2 0 0 1 3.196 2.167 10.2 10.2 0 0 1 2.167 3.196A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 22 12a9.6 9.6 0 0 1-.784 3.863 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-2.167 3.186 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-3.196 2.167A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 12 22m0-1.667a8.15 8.15 0 0 0 3.245-.647 8.5 8.5 0 0 0 2.657-1.784 8.3 8.3 0 0 0 1.784-2.657A8.15 8.15 0 0 0 20.333 12a8.15 8.15 0 0 0-.647-3.245 8.4 8.4 0 0 0-1.794-2.657 8.1 8.1 0 0 0-2.657-1.784 8.15 8.15 0 0 0-3.245-.647 8.15 8.15 0 0 0-3.245.647 8.2 8.2 0 0 0-2.647 1.784 8.5 8.5 0 0 0-1.784 2.657A8.3 8.3 0 0 0 3.676 12q0 1.736.638 3.245a8.5 8.5 0 0 0 1.784 2.657 8.5 8.5 0 0 0 2.657 1.784 8.15 8.15 0 0 0 3.245.647m-1.716-2.853a.7.7 0 0 1-.51-.196.65.65 0 0 1-.205-.49q0-.295.206-.49a.7.7 0 0 1 .51-.196H11.5v-4.5h-1.049a.7.7 0 0 1-.51-.196.65.65 0 0 1-.206-.49q0-.295.206-.49a.7.7 0 0 1 .51-.197h1.843q.372 0 .569.245.195.236.196.638v4.99h1.216a.7.7 0 0 1 .51.196q.205.196.205.49 0 .295-.206.49a.7.7 0 0 1-.51.196zm1.628-8.882q-.53 0-.902-.373a1.23 1.23 0 0 1-.373-.901q0-.54.373-.912.372-.373.902-.373.54 0 .902.373.372.372.372.912 0 .529-.372.901a1.2 1.2 0 0 1-.902.373\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-legacy-factor\"><strong>The Legacy Factor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">The Lanzador matters because it represents more than just a new product.

Moves like that keep loyalists close, even as the company experiments with hybrids and new platforms.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_figureContainer__kdsyO wp-block-image size-full fade-in-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Lamborghini Lanzador\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 750px) 750px, calc(100vw - 60px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_16,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_32,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_48,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_64,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_96,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_128,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_256,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_384,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_640,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_750,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_828,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1080,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1200,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1920,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_2048,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_limit\/MjA5MDg5MTExMzQ2MDYzMjA0\/lamborghini-lanzador-473422.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"styles_imageCaptionText__DBytL\"> <span>Source: <!-- -->Lamborghini<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<p><button aria-label=\"Show caption\" class=\"styles_imageCaptionButton__cF1VI\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"styles_imageCaptionIcon__6rcIe\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M12 22a9.6 9.6 0 0 1-3.863-.784 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-3.186-2.167 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-2.167-3.186A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 2 12q0-2.049.784-3.853a10.3 10.3 0 0 1 2.157-3.196 10.2 10.2 0 0 1 3.186-2.167Q9.942 2 11.99 2c2.048 0 2.654.261 3.863.784a10.2 10.2 0 0 1 3.196 2.167 10.2 10.2 0 0 1 2.167 3.196A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 22 12a9.6 9.6 0 0 1-.784 3.863 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-2.167 3.186 10.2 10.2 0 0 1-3.196 2.167A9.6 9.6 0 0 1 12 22m0-1.667a8.15 8.15 0 0 0 3.245-.647 8.5 8.5 0 0 0 2.657-1.784 8.3 8.3 0 0 0 1.784-2.657A8.15 8.15 0 0 0 20.333 12a8.15 8.15 0 0 0-.647-3.245 8.4 8.4 0 0 0-1.794-2.657 8.1 8.1 0 0 0-2.657-1.784 8.15 8.15 0 0 0-3.245-.647 8.15 8.15 0 0 0-3.245.647 8.2 8.2 0 0 0-2.647 1.784 8.5 8.5 0 0 0-1.784 2.657A8.3 8.3 0 0 0 3.676 12q0 1.736.638 3.245a8.5 8.5 0 0 0 1.784 2.657 8.5 8.5 0 0 0 2.657 1.784 8.15 8.15 0 0 0 3.245.647m-1.716-2.853a.7.7 0 0 1-.51-.196.65.65 0 0 1-.205-.49q0-.295.206-.49a.7.7 0 0 1 .51-.196H11.5v-4.5h-1.049a.7.7 0 0 1-.51-.196.65.65 0 0 1-.206-.49q0-.295.206-.49a.7.7 0 0 1 .51-.197h1.843q.372 0 .569.245.195.236.196.638v4.99h1.216a.7.7 0 0 1 .51.196q.205.196.205.49 0 .295-.206.49a.7.7 0 0 1-.51.196zm1.628-8.882q-.53 0-.902-.373a1.23 1.23 0 0 1-.373-.901q0-.54.373-.912.372-.373.902-.373.54 0 .902.373.372.372.372.912 0 .529-.372.901a1.2 1.2 0 0 1-.902.373\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strong-sales-shrinking-profits\"><strong>Strong Sales, Shrinking Profits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Even without the Lanzador, Lamborghini is enjoying record demand. The company recently announced it had\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/lamborghini-achieves-major-sales-record\">set a new sales record in 2025<\/a>, with its hybrid-only lineup proving that performance buyers are willing to adapt when the cars deliver. <\/p>\n<p>But like other luxury automakers, profits have slipped as development costs and tariffs bite into margins.

Now, it\u2019s a mirror of the industry\u2019s uncertainty. EV or PHEV, Lamborghini promises to decide by year\u2019s end.
