Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume has revealed the first tentative details of Lamborghini's planned electric vehicle, which is currently expected to arrive in 2029.
He described the platform as a particularly sporty design, with its electrical system operating at 980 volts—higher than any current production EV. This would enable vehicles on the platform to charge quickly when using a DC fast-charger with sufficient current. Other benefits would include reduced heat and power losses, as well as less wiring material, helping to save weight.
Blume also said the platform will support power outputs of up to 2,000 hp, likely based on the metric horsepower rating VW Group uses. That would equate to 1,973 hp based on the standard used in the U.S.
Lamborghini previewed a potential design for its EV with the Lanzador concept, revealed during 2023 Monterey Car Week. At the time, Lamborghini stated that production would start in 2028.
While the Lanzador is a high-riding coupe with 2+2 seating, Blume stated during Tuesday's meeting that the final body concept for the EV would be announced at a later date—suggesting the design may have evolved since the introduction of the Lanzador.
