Lamborghini sells its final absolutely gasoline-powered supercar

Earlier this 12 months, Lamborghini mentioned goodbye to its last V-12 gas-powered supercars.

With its gas-powered V12 engine supercars off the market, the Lamborghini Huracan and Urus fashions had been nonetheless out there on the market.

Nonetheless, the Italian automaker introduced that it has bought out all of its Huracan and Urus fashions and retired from producing absolutely gas-powered supercars — in response to Reuters. Properly, we noticed this coming and it’s in all probability emotional for a few of us who love the fierce sound of a naturally aspirated Lamborghini. However Lamborghini is but to make an electrical supercar; as a substitute, it’s specializing in plug-in hybrids like the Revuelto. This is similar technique that its greatest rivals, Ferrari and McLaren, are using with hybrid supercars.

However till artificial gasoline turns into possible, Lamborghini will solely promote you a plug-in hybrid supercar. With absolutely gas-powered supercars going extinct, basic Lamborghini supercars will in all probability fetch the next worth on the public sale. By 2030, Lamborghini additionally expects to provide its first absolutely electrical supercar. Hopefully, it is going to be a high contender for the fastest electric car in the world.
