The arrival of the first Lamborghini is still in the pipeline. While Maserati has already taken the plunge with its electric models, notably the 760-hp GranTurismo, and Ferrari is preparing its first electric 100 % model for October 2025, Lamborghini is taking its time to fine-tune its entry into the electric vehicle market. And according to the latest information, this first electric Lamborghini could well cause a sensation.
At the Volkswagen Group's annual conference, CEO Oliver Blume revealed that the first electric Lamborghini will be based on a Group platform, shared between Porsche, Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini. But the information that really catches the eye is the possibility that this platform could support up to 2,000 horsepower and a 980-volt architecture.
Although the platform is capable of a colossal 2,000 hp, it's unlikely that Lamborghini will opt for this starting version. As a reminder, Lamborghini Lanzador concept revealed in 2023 was rated at over 1,300 horsepower, which is still impressive.
The design of this future model will be faithful to the Lamborghini spirit: an ultra-sporty, elegant and particularly emotional look. Blume said it best at the conference: "This will be a true Lamborghini, something very emotional." It's not just a question of performance, but also of driving sensations and experience.
The move to 980-volt architecture is an interesting announcement. While many high-end electric vehicles still make do with an 800-volt architecture, some Chinese vehicles have crossed the 900-volt threshold, and models like the Lucid Gravity offer a 926-volt architecture. This new Lamborghini would therefore come not only with impressive performance, but also with the ability to charge quickly and offer superior range.
Finally, a word of clarification: Lamborghini has confirmed that this fourth model will be entirely made in Italy. Although Blume hasn't revealed the exact location of production, it's safe to assume that it will still be in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
While the 2000 hp power output is impressive, it remains to be seen how useful it will be. A Tesla S Plaid makes 1200 hp and accelerates from 0 to 100 in less than 2 seconds. Yet we don't see many of them on the track. Also, the Lucid Gravity we mentioned earlier weighs in at 2.8 tons...
Electric power is very virtual in reality. It's the battery that supplies it, and no battery can deliver 1470 kW continuously. In short, as with almost all EVs, it's a peak power whose intensity and duration are highly variable. The Tesla plaid can't race because its real continuous power is too low.
