Lamborghini Lanzador GT concept unveils four-seat electric vehicle
【Summary】Lamborghini has unveiled its first electric vehicle (EV), the four-seat Lanzador GT concept. The concept car, showcased at Monterey Car Week, is scheduled for release in five years and is positioned as a bridge between the Urus SUV and Lamborghini's mid-engined supercars. The Lanzador aims to offer "best-in-class sportiness and fun-to-drive character" and serves as a "laboratory on wheels" showcasing the brand's EV technology and manufacturing methods.
The long-awaited electric Lamborghini has finally arrived, marking a significant milestone for the supercar firm. After the successful launch of the Urus SUV five years ago, Lamborghini is now venturing into a new segment with the introduction of the Lanzador, a stunning four-seat GT.
Unveiled as a concept at Monterey Car Week in California, the Lanzador is set to hit the market in five years. This sleek two-row supercar has a similar size to the Porsche Taycan but sits higher from the ground, offering improved versatility.
The Lanzador has been designed as a bridge between the Urus and Lamborghini's lineup of traditional mid-engined supercars. It represents a concrete vision of the company's next model line, aiming to deliver best-in-class sportiness and an exhilarating driving experience that stays true to Lamborghini's DNA.
What sets the Lanzador apart is that it is not just a show car but a "laboratory on wheels." This highlights the production intent of the technology and manufacturing methods showcased in the concept, emphasizing Lamborghini's commitment to innovation.
While the confirmation of an electric Lamborghini came in 2021, discussions about the car's body style and positioning had been ongoing. Speculation about Lamborghini's first EV began in 2017 with the unveiling of the Terzo Millennio hypercar, which hinted at the company's zero-emission future.
The Lanzador provides valuable insights into Lamborghini's electric future, giving a glimpse of what their upcoming EVs will look and sound like. When asked why the new model is being shown five years before its release, CEO Stephan Winkelmann explained that it serves as a way to prepare the market and generate anticipation.
Over the next five years, Lamborghini plans to gather opinions and develop new approaches to ensure their EVs have a distinctive character. This buffer zone will allow them to refine their electric offerings and create vehicles that truly stand out.
