Lamborghini is looking to keep combustion engine beyond 2030

The CEO of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann has said in an interview that Volkswagen's super brand Lamborghini will keep the combustion engine vehicles alive beyond 2030. He said, "After hybridisation, we will wait to see whether it will be possible to offer vehicles with an internal combustion engine beyond 2030." 

The CEO also talked about the possibility to keep combustion engines alive through synthetic fuels. Lamborghini also plans to bring out its fully electric model at the end of this decade, underscoring a more cautious approach after comments last year that the release was supposed to take place in the second half of the decade.

Major luxury automakers, including Lamborghini, Ferrari, and McLaren are wrestling to shift their ranges to battery power without losing the high performance that supports their premium pricing.
