Lamborghinis could AVOID going electric ‘by burning new fuel made from air’

LAMBORGHINI is hoping to hold on to its combustion engine by switching over to ‘synthetic fuel,’ according to a new report.

The Italian luxury car manufacturer has said in the past that by 2025, every Lamborghini it sells will be either hybridized or electrified.

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the company doesn’t want to fully give up its V8, V10, and V12 engines.

However, according to a new statement by Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the company also does not want to fully give up its V8, V10, and V12 engines in the future.

“After hybridization, we will wait to see whether it will be possible to offer vehicles with an internal combustion engine beyond 2030,” Winkelmann told Germany’s Welt am Sontag newspaper.

“One possibility would be to keep combustion engine vehicles alive via synthetic fuels,” he added.

While Winkelmann didn’t churn out extra details on what that would look like, Lamborghini’s fellow sister company Porsche has been trying to develop a net-zero synthetic fuel.

The fuel would work by creating menthol from a combination of atmospheric carbon dioxide and hydrogen, according to Fox News.

It is not unclear how much money or time it would take Lamborghini to employ such a system in its vehicles, but the process would likely not be cheap.


In 2019, Lamborghini launched the Sian, which was its first vehicle to feature a hybridized powertrain.

Still, the make was a limited edition and did not use a conventional hybrid system, but a trick supercapacitor.

The foreign car company is set to launch its first-series production of hybrid Lamborghini’s in 2023, according to Motor Trend.

And sometime between 2025 and 2029, the first-ever fully electric Lamborghini is expected to be unveiled.

The car maker’s long-term plans are centered around a 50 percent reduction in carbon emissions across both Lamborghini vehicles and production facilities.
