Lamborghini Aventador replacement to get hybrid powertrain

The Lamborghini Aventador is currently the oldest car in the company's line-up, making it next in queue for a replacement. According to a media report, the Aventador replacement will be powered by a naturally aspirated V12 combined with an electric hybrid system.

Maurizio Reggiani, Lamborghini’s chief technical officer, told the media at the Geneva Motor Show that while the company is using turbo charged engine for its Urus SUV, it would continue to offer natural aspiration in their flagship car. Further, the new car will make extensive use of carbon-fibre components and will also feature some sort of hybrid drive.

The electric boost from the hybrid drive could either be used in short bursts (Corsa mode) or for long range (Strada mode). While the exact nature of the electric system is not yet known, it could be used to meet the rising emission restrictions that could be imposed in city centres and other places in Europe and Asia. The system could also be used to supplement the engine to provide uninterrupted power to the wheels during a mid-corner downshift or in low gears. Unlike rivals, the single clutch gearbox used in the Aventador is comparatively slower to change the gears.

Reggiani also revealed that while the company will eventually shift to all-electric cars, it would only be after multiple iterations of the hybrid cars.

Frankly, this seems like a move by the Lamborghini guys to satisfy the environmentalists. The environmentalists seems to have recently taken quite a disliking for IC engine powered personal cars. Though if you ask me the personal cars only contribute a small percentage to the overall pollution levels, anyways this topic is beyond the scope of this thread.

I don't think a V12 engine, even if a hybrid one will be that fuel efficient. I believe the guys who can afford an Aventador, won't be quite bothered by the fuel efficiency figures. Also Aventador is not a car that would be used daily to commute long distances. Anyways, it seems at least while driving it flat out you will still get a NA V12 engine powering the car, the NA V12 engines are becoming quite rare these days.

It's actually killing two birds with one stone.

1. The word 'hybrid' keeps the tree huggers happy.

2. Lamborghini, like Ferrari & McLaren, will use the hybrid system to BOOST power delivery. The purpose is entirely different from that in a Toyota Prius.

This should make the current Aventador much much more desirable now, despite the crappy single-clutch gearbox, given that it is now the last of the completely Naturally Aspirated V12 Lamborghinis.

Also, I approve of your tree hugger designation.

Lamborghini is gearing up to launch the long awaited replacement for the Aventador in 2022.

Lamborghini Aventador replacement will get a totally different design.

CEO Stefan Winkelmann said: “The Ultimae is a design that comes out of the tradition of the Aventador. The follow-up will be a completely different cup of tea, much like going from the Murciélago to the Aventador.”

Re: Lamborghini Aventador replacement to get hybrid powertrain

This came up in the news - it's not just the Aventador, all Lambos will have Plugin Hybrid from next year. And will be BEV from 2024.

The music of the dino oil is setting with the crimson sun.
