About five years ago, Lamborghini decided to turn its lineup to hybrids, abandoning the transition to pure electrification.
At the time, the introduction of pure electric cars – not hybrids – seemed the only way forward, with legislation and public pressure bearing down on manufacturers.
But this pressure has since changed, with the decline in sales of electric cars.
However, chief technical officer Rouven Mohr says that even now, an all-electric supercar from the brand would not succeed, Telegraph reports.
"Right now, right now, the time wouldn't be right for an EV," Mohr said.
"You've seen a lot of electric cars on the market that weren't really successful," he added.
With the fully hybridized lineup, Lamborghini has put itself in the perfect position for success.
All three of its models – the V-12-powered Revuelto, the twin-turbo Temerario and the Urus SUV – now have some form of electric assist.
"I'm very happy with our current lineup, because with a hybridized lineup, we can live for the next decade," Mohr said.
It is known that Lamborghini understands that time is fast approaching, which is why it plans to introduce its first all-electric car in 2028.
