Lamborghini's Next Model Won't Be Another SUV

Lamborghini’s CEO said the brand needs a two-door 2+2 grand tourer in the lineup, which could be the plug-in hybrid version of the Lanzador EV concept. Here are the details.

Lamborghini has never had a massive lineup, but in only the past few years, the range has grown. It’s been nearly a decade since the automaker added the Urus, its first high-powered SUV, and now the company's CEO wants another type of product in the portfolio: a touring car.   

In an interview with Road & Track during the 12 Hours of Sebring last weekend, Stephan Winkelmann, Lambo’s head honcho, said, "What is missing is a grand touring car. A two-door 2+2."

Motor1’s Take: It sure seems like Winkelmann is preparing to launch a new, plug-in hybrid grand tourer, and is watching the reactions. The brand has wanted a fourth model for a while, and it seems foolish to completely abandon Lanzador development because people want a different powertrain. That seems wasteful.
