Automobili LamborghiniPresident and CEO Stephan Winkelmann introduced the initiative this morning (May 18) in the "Direzione Cor Tauri" (Towards Cor Tauri) program.

A celebration of the Volkswagen Group's commitment to transition from internal combustion engines to electrified drivetrains in 2024.

Lamborghinilaunched its first hybrid model last year, the limited-edition Sián.

Sián Winkelmann, Lamborghini’s first electric supercar, said: “Lamborghini has always been synonymous with technical excellence in architectural engines with exceptional performance: this commitment will continue to be an absolute priority on our innovation trajectory.

"Today's commitment is backed by the largest investment program in the brand's history, which not only strengthens our loyalty to our customers, but also deeply dedicates our fans, employees, their families and the company's presence in Emilia Birthplace - Romagna and the Manufacturing Excellence Award."

Lamborghini's 160,000-square-meter Sant'Agata Bolognese manufacturing plant was certified CO2-neutral in 2015, a certification that has been maintained even as the factory has doubled in size in recent years.

With the help of suppliers, the plant's efficiency will be further improved, while Lamborghini is also paving the way for electrification in its newly released demonstration roadmap.

Lamborghini's transformation plan consists of three phases.

Despite the ambitious CO2 targets, the initial "accelerating combustion engine" phase is in 2021-2021, with two new cars in the V12 model lineup in 2021.
