Last year, the European Commission proposed a 55 percent cut in CO2 emissions from cars by 2030 versus 2021 levels in Europe and a full combustion engine ban from 2035. None of these rules have been signed yet, though the writing is probably on the wall for the good old fossil-burning engine. However, there are automakers that still see a future for the ICE, and Lamborghini has been among the most vocal advocates of it.
The supercar maker’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, recently talked to the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag and admitted he wants his company to keep the combustion engine alive after the end of the decade. That may seem impossible from today’s perspective, but Winkelmann has a plan.
