This time it will be an actual facelift with 800+ hybrid horsepower.

The extra hybrid electric assistance architecture will put on a minimum 200KG to it's base weight if it keeps the current V8 as it should.

And the base weight in KG for this car is completely unknown to me!

The major differences are the new headlights and the "pointier" design of the whole rear section, also the hybrid system will be for performance only and push+790hp from what i was told. But I can imagine that weight will be an important factor.

Well it's a known factor the kerb weight will definitely go up. But the designers of the Nissan GTR 35 and Bugatti Chiron often said it was an aid too. Traction from a standing start for one. So it can work both weighs. I'm sure Lamborghini have got this.
 
Lamborghini Urus to go hybrid-only in 2024, electric in 2029

Next year brings Urus V8 PHEV and Huracan replacement; electric supercar not currently planned!

The Lamborghini Urus will go hybrid-only from next year ahead of the launch of an all-electric second-generation version in 2029.

The twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8-based plug-in Urus will be the second plug-in hybrid Lamborghini after the launch of the Aventador-replacing Revuelto, company CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed to Autocar.

The hybrid will replace the pure-petrol V8 Urus in the line-up towards the end of 2024 and stay on sale until close to the end of the decade, when an electric Urus will replace it in a second generation.

That electric Urus will follow the 2028 launch of the Italian firm’s first EV, which will be a fourth model line with no predecessor. This car will take the form of a high-riding 2+2 GT, a car with “more ground clearance", and will be "an innovative way of doing a GT”.

“It will be about sustainability, have better visibility and have the design of a very sexy car, but still immediately recognisable as a Lamborghini,” said Winkelmann. It will also feature “high-performance batteries that nobody else has and will be unique in the market.”

Work on this model remains at the design phase and Lamborghini is working “on the boundaries of the dream versus what we can actually do”, according to Winkelmann.

Lamborghini needs to wait until 2028 to launch it, because the intervening years will be used to introduce various derivatives of the new Revuelto, the 2024 successor to the Lamborghini Huracán and the hybrid Urus. “We have to grow the size of the company and this takes time,” said Winkelmann.

This time will also be used to reconfigure the Sant’Agata factory, where the Revuelto and Huracán replacement will be built on the same line (the first time it has built these two ranges on the same line), and in time the two electric cars will be made on another production line. The first two years of Revuelto production have already sold out.

Lamborghini isn’t committing to any future electric cars beyond these two of its “daily drivers” and as yet has no plans to launch an electric supercar in either its Revuelto or Huracán-replacing lineages because it believes it already has the needs of the supercar market covered.

The replacement for the Huracán will come next year, Winkelmann confirmed, as a car with a new name and a plug-in hybrid powertrain that’s set to be a development of the Urus hybrid’s.

However, Winkelmann believes that future legislation will make it “almost impossible” to keep internal-combustion-engined cars on sale even if they are technically within the rules.

“I strongly believe that after 2035, legislation will be so high for ICEs that it will be almost impossible for the ones with high displacement like ours to be compliant,” he said. “You see this now with EU7 but also developments of EU6. It is very costly and getting impossible to achieve. To develop ICE is incredibly costly.” (😢)

The firm develops its models to meet the strictest homologation legislation around emissions, and the Clean Air Act in California is typically the strictest. With the ban on the sale of non-EVs after 2035, Winkelmann inferred that this is the way Lamborghini will have to go. He said: “You go with the most difficult legislation, which is the US, and is really California. Other states adopt California’s rules – typically big cities and that’s where we sell cars.

“Even if it [legislation] is not banning EVs, taxation will be a killing factor. Then mega-cities are talking of abolishing non-EVs before 2035 regardless."


The recent development of synthetic fuels is “more about keeping alive the current car parc, rather than convert” future models to be fuelled by them, said Winkelmman, when asked on the potential for them to allow internal combustion engines to live on.

However, Lamborghini is in no rush to commit to an electric future for its supercars, because new generations won’t appear for “eight or nine years, which means we won’t have to decide for another three-and-a-half to four years”. He added: “This is an advantage as the picture will be clearer then [around the success or otherwise of electric supercars]. With hybrid [supercars], it’s a non-issue. Nobody expected them to be accepted so quickly.”

Speaking more broadly on electric supercars, Winkelmann said it is “up to us to prove that full-electric supercars can be as emotional as ICEs. We’re working on it, but it is on us.” When Lamborghini has cracked this powertrain technology, the firm will “need to show it earlier” than the production car it will appear in “as it will need to be digested” by the market. At present, Winkelmann said he has “no answer for the sound” of electric cars.

With any new Lamborghini, it is “a simple equation: more performance and more sustainability than the generation before”. Whatever the power source, Winkelmann said future Lamborghinis will be built to the firm’s mantra of “building dream cars that over-exceed expectations”.

As for a Lamborghini hypercar, Winkelmann said it is something the brand would like to do but budget and space in the range are limiting factors at the moment.

Winkelmann would be keen for the firm to do an off-road Sterrato version of one its models in the future, off the back of the success of a Huracán-based model, but the current Sterrato will be the final version of the current car."


Interesting read. Very!🙂

The biggest takeaway is that the Huracan replacement will be powered by the same powertrain as the Urus hybrid.

I hope they know that other companies will be way ahead of them in EV tech at that time.
Make a 4 door Lamborghini and develop it into a very exciting EV, good that we have Porsche working on that.

Well they were late to the SUV market as it was. Lamborghini are one of those brand manufacturers that if they create a new or distinct product within their line, generally it will sell, and out.

Porsche are working on so many things I can keep up with them.-However in Volkswagen section under "What's next" or whatever it's called there's a very interesting Autocar article on electrification that affects the whole Group.🙂

Lamborghini Urus Production Run With Pure V8 Is Already Sold Out!
A plug-in hybrid replacement is coming in late 2024

1688563840617.webp



"The Lamborghini Urus as we know it is officially no more. Well, kind of. Company CEO Stephan Winkelmann told German newspaper Welt the super SUV's production run for the pure V8 model has already been sold out. What that means is the current model – which was facelifted just last year with S and Performante flavors – can't be ordered anymore. You'll have to wait for the plug-in hybrid model to arrive near the end of 2024 to place an order.

As to what will power the electrified Urus, it's too soon to say. However, the Volkswagen Group has a plug-in hybrid V8 setup available in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid with a combined output of 670 horsepower and 663 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) of torque. Logic tells us a Lamborghini equivalent would pack an even greater punch to be worthy of the raging bull badge and the premium that comes with it.

The head honcho in Sant'Agata Bolognese said the same thing about the Huracan being sold out. However, we already knew that from Lamborghini's press release pertaining to its Q1 2023 sales results. The naturally aspirated V10 machine will be discontinued next year to make way for a new plug-in hybrid supercar likely to use a downsized, turbocharged gasoline engine. This time around, the baby Lambo won't have an equivalent R8 as the Four Rings are pulling the plug on their mid-engined supercar. Thankfully, Lambo is profitable enough to go on its own.

The Urus PHEV and Huracan replacement will join the Revuelto, which has thankfully kept the V12 alive but with an electrified twist. Stephan Winkelmann told Welt the Revuelto is already proving to be a huge commercial success, so much so that he projects the flagship will be sold out by late 2025.
As to when we'll see the first Lamborghini without a combustion engine, it's due around 2028 as a 2+2 grand tourer. Speaking of EVs, the second-generation Urus has already been confirmed to go purely electric and will be launched in 2029."
