It’s a concept car that the brand unveiled in Monterey, and yet it looks very progressive in design. A pillar of the manufacturer’s electric future.
This is the new Lamborghini launcher. It’s a concept car that will lay the groundwork for the company’s first electric car to be launched in the coming years. A whole paradigm shift that ignores combustion engines.
This prototype shows the concept of a grand tourer in crossover format with an interior of 2+2 seats. Lamborghini assures that it will have exceptional performance and that it will still be a perfect everyday car.
A whole declaration of intent that comes in the year of the 60th anniversary of the brand and was implemented by the Lamborghini Revuelto Engine V12, the new versions of the V10 like the Huracán Sterrato, and the project to drive the new Lamborghini SC63 at Le Mans.

Although with the announcement of a GT, Many expected a renaissance of the concept of sports cars like this Lamborghini Espada or the UrracoThe truth is that it’s closer to the concept of an SUV coupe. The brand has tried to create new proportions that define the concept of Ultra GT.
Attention has been paid to the spaciousness of the interior, while the exterior, the work of Mitja Borkert (Head of Centro Stile Lamborghini), is, as always, modeled on a fighter plane. You’ll find lines with high tension and crisp definition, a forward-leaning cabin, and the classic silhouette of the Sant’Agata Bolognese.
Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini’s technical director, assured us in an interview that the aim is “not to imitate any other combustion-engine sports car”. The big challenge was to redefine the gasoline-based DNA with a new concept that drivers were sure to like.
In fact, one of the great benefits of a 100% electric vehicle It will be aerodynamics: “In any case, there will be further development of the system.” ALA from active aerodynamics that we have already seen in the Aventador or in the Huracán.
There will be moving body parts, ranging from elements on the front bumper to the flat floor, rear diffuser, or spoiler. Components whose behavior depends on driving style and selected modes.

Obviously, we are talking about one prototype. Nothing is set, and it is merely a way of laying the foundations and standards for future production models. However, in relation to his mechanics, Some details are already known to us.
It will have an electric motor on each axle. develop all-wheel drive durability and a maximum performance of 1,000 kW (1,312 hp) with torque vectoring on the rear axle via a system called e-torque as an active differential.
“I am sure that with this concept car and the technology it contains, we can convince both loyal customers and those who want to go further. I believe that the new generation of Lamborghini cars will open a new chapter in terms of performance. “Technology, performance, digitization, and driving dynamics,” Mohr continues.
The active suspension It will also be another crucial element for the car, as the weight distribution and large batteries of electric cars pose a challenge to driving stability. aspect where the Lamborghini launchers want to stand out, just like when it comes to sustainability.
The interior is almost exclusively built with sustainable materials made in Italy. merino wool, recycled nylon thread in the seams of plastic, recycled fibers 3D printed, or even carbon regenerated, which strengthens the outer layers and combines them with other materials in the inner area.
