Set to premiere shortly, perhaps in a few weeks judging by the hot data dropped by Sant’Agata Bolognese firm, Lamborghini’s upcoming plug-in hybrid supercar will bring the brand into the new era, one dominated by electricity. Recharging the battery takes roughly 30 minutes when plugging it in, and it can also sip electrons on the go under regenerative braking, or directly from the V12 engine in just six minutes. In other words, it’s an electric all-wheel drive machine when backing up in low-grip conditions. The reversing gear is provided by the same front-mounted motors, though if additional grip is needed, then the third motor can kick in, activating the rear axle. This makes it a front-wheel drive machine when driving in the all-quiet mode. Without disclosing the actual zero-emission range of their new supercar, Lamborghini says that it can move over short distances using the battery juice, and the two front motors. The gearbox, on the other hand, which tips the scales at 193 kg (425 lbs), is mounted transversally behind the V12 power unit. The motors are fed by a lithium-ion battery pack housed within the transmission tunnel. It powers the rear wheels when needed, doubles as a starter motor and generator, and feeds energy to the front motors via the battery. Two of them are mounted at the front, each driving one wheel, and the third one is positioned above the dual-clutch eight-speed automatic gearbox. The torque is rated at 725 Nm (535 lb-ft), and the mill can be revved up to 9,500 rpm.īacking it up and contributing to the aforementioned combined output are three electric motors. Weighing 218 kg (481 lbs), or 17 kg (37 lbs) less than the previous V12, it churns out 825 ps (813 hp/607 kW) at 9,250. That makes it just as punchy as the original Bugatti Veyron.īlurring the line between traditional super sports cars and hypercars, the Aventador’s successor features an engine rotated through 180 degrees compared to that of its predecessor. We can't wait to see it in 2023.Combining a brand-new naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, mounted in the middle of the car behind the seats, and three electric motors, the LB744 will enjoy a combined output of 1,015 ps, or 1,001 hp/747 kW, according to Lamborghini. The car that nobody has seen already has three thousand preorders. We know that Lamborghini is taking its job very seriously regarding this new supercar, and for good reason too. But for us, it's important that every car has a clear character, and this will also be in the next generation.there's no risk that you mix up Huracan with Aventador." There has been some speculation about just how much the Aventador successor will vary in looks from its little sibling, the Huracan, but when Lamborghini chief technical officer Rouven Mohr was asked about the subject, all he said was, "I say nothing. Typically, Lambo's engines are covered by glass or carbon fiber, but in this case, open venting to the environment is likely a case of heat management. We're led to believe this powertrain will push out upwards of 800 horsepower. The stickers, of course, alert authorities of the new hybrid powertrain in case of emergency and/or fire. The most interesting parts of the mule are the high-voltage stickers and the uncovered engine bay.
