Lamborghini's First Electric Vehicle: The Four-seat Lanzador GT Concept

The long-awaited electric Lamborghini has finally arrived. After the success of the Urus SUV, Lamborghini is venturing into a new segment with the introduction of the Lanzador, a stunning four-seat GT.

The Lanzador was first unveiled as a concept at Monterey Car Week in California, and it is scheduled to be launched in five years. This sleek two-row supercar has a similar size to the Porsche Taycan but sits higher from the ground to offer enhanced versatility.

This model serves as a bridge between the Urus and Lamborghini's traditional mid-engined supercars. It represents a concrete vision of the company's next new model line, staying true to Lamborghini's DNA by providing best-in-class sportiness and a fun-to-drive character.

The Lanzador is not just a show car; it is a "laboratory on wheels." It showcases the production intent of the technology and manufacturing methods that will be used in future Lamborghini models.

The confirmation of an electric Lamborghini came in 2021 when CEO Stephan Winkelmann revealed discussions about the car's body style and positioning. However, speculation about Lamborghini's first EV has been circulating since 2017 when the Terzo Millennio hypercar hinted at the company's zero-emission future.

The Lanzador provides a glimpse into Lamborghini's electric future. Winkelmann explained that revealing the model five years before its release is a strategic move to prepare the market and allow people to anticipate what is coming in the future.

Over the next five years, Lamborghini will use this time as a buffer zone to gather opinions and develop new approaches to create a distinctive character for its EVs.
