Lambo goes all electric! Meet the brand new Lamborghini Lanzador

Four-seater, 1,350bhp ‘ultra-GT’ is part SUV, part super-saloon, launches in 2028

Is it an SUV? Is it a saloon on stilts? No! The Landazor is something entirely new, says Lamborghini, an ‘Ultra-GT’ designed to draw a link between the Urus and its supercars.

The good news? It still looks like a Lambo – full of anger and angles – albeit one that’s been stretched and lifted into a shockingly different shape.

Oh, and it’s all-electric. Did we forget to mention that? Yep, this is the fabled fourth model that will join Revuelto, Urus and the Huracán replacement (all of which will be plug-in hybrids by the end of 2024) with first deliveries currently scheduled for 2028.

Which is a hell of a wait, but CEO Stephan Winkelmann definitely isn’t umming and erring on this one, it’s locked in, a “concrete preview of the production vehicle” we’re told.

So it’s a concept, officially, but we know a thinly-veiled showroom model when we see one, especially when the press release is jammed with juicy details. Like the fact it’ll have two e-motors, one on each axle, and produce over a megawatt of power – circa 1,350bhp in old money.

It’ll deploy rear-wheel steering, self-levelling air-suspension and a “new generation high-performance battery, which also ensures a long range", effuses the press release, exactly how long isn’t clear.

We ask and Winkelman suggests 300-miles is a minimum these days, we suspect 400 will be nearer the mark five years from now.

The entirely new platform will be shared with other high-end VW Group EVs, but tuned by Lambo, which opens up a world of possibilities says chief technical officer Rouven Mohr. “We are taking Lamborghini integrated driving dynamics control to a whole new level, which has not been possible for production sports cars before and offers our customers a completely new driving experience," he says referring to the newly-developed Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) driving dynamics control.
