Remember the bonkers Asterion LPI 910-4? The 2014 concept was a plug-in hybrid that never materialized into a production model. Lamborghini's first PHEV the rich folk will be able to buy debuts soon as the Aventador's replacement. Come 2024, CEO Stephan Winkelmann says the Urus will also get the PHEV treatment. The disclosure was made at a roundtable with journalists, including Road and Track, at a preview event for the new V12 hybrid supercar.
It's worth pointing out Lamborghini has already built and sold a hybrid as the limited-run Sián FKP 37 was partially electrified with supercapacitors. The Urus PHEV due next year is expected to employ a powertrain like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. The high-performance SUV from Zuffenhausen is preparing to go through a mid-cycle update. In its current pre-facelift guise, the twin-turbo V8 and electric motor push out a combined 671 horsepower. It's too soon to say whether the equivalent Lamborghini will get a more potent configuration.
