Why Lamborghini isn’t scared of electric cars

AutoExec Summary
Lamborghini’s chief technical officer, Maurizio Reggiani, is not concerned about the rise of electric supercars from emerging brands like Pininfarina and Rimac, citing the long road to real production cars. Despite presenting new models at the Geneva Motor Show, Reggiani believes smaller companies may struggle to meet strict crash regulations and ensure functionality in the real world. While Lamborghini is considering the potential of battery tech for models like the Aventador, Huracan, and Urus, they are committed to maintaining the emotional and powerful experience of their vehicles, with the Aventador’s successor likely to feature a V12 powertrain. The next generation of European emissions regulations poses a challenge to big engines, with Reggiani acknowledging the tough game changer of Euro 7 regulations. Meanwhile, LuxuryMerc’s new SUV adds style and flair to an impressive package, BMW surprises with new M cars, and Mercedes-Benz introduces a clever new plug-in hybrid SUV.
