Electric Lamborghinis are set to revolutionize the driving experience, according to the company’s Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr. While the current V10 engine in models like the Huracán delivers a visceral and thrilling experience, Mohr believes that future electric Lamborghinis can match, if not surpass, this level of excitement.
Mohr explained that the key to achieving this level of thrill with electric vehicles lies in the precise control over torque and revs that electric motors can offer. Unlike traditional combustion engines, electric powertrains allow for more nuanced control over the car’s dynamics, including power deployment and traction control. This level of control opens up new possibilities for enhancing the driving experience and creating a different kind of excitement that is unique to electric vehicles.
One example of this advanced control system is showcased in Lamborghini’s Lanzador concept, a high-riding two-door GT that is expected to enter production in 2028. The Lanzador features Lamborghini’s LDVI (Lamborghini Dynamic Vehicle Integration) system, which leverages a range of sensors and actuators to optimize torque distribution and rear-wheel steering behavior. Additionally, the dual-motor setup in the Lanzador utilizes wheel speed controllers to regulate torque at each corner, improving turn-in and traction.
While the transition to electric powertrains may raise questions about whether electric Lamborghinis can deliver the same level of excitement as their ICE counterparts, Mohr is confident that the future of electric supercars lies in their dynamic control strategy. By focusing on precision and innovation in managing the dynamics of the car, electric Lamborghinis aim to redefine the driving experience and set a new standard for driving fun.
As Lamborghini continues to innovate and develop its electric vehicle lineup, enthusiasts can look forward to a new era of high-performance electric supercars that promise to deliver thrills and excitement on par with their iconic ICE models. The future of Lamborghini is electric, and it’s shaping up to be just as thrilling, if not more, than what we’ve come to expect from the brand’s legendary V10 engines.
