The Lamborghini Lanzador concept foreshadows the brand’s first electric vehicle, which will make debut around 2028.
The Lanzador sports a raised riding height as well as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive engine that produces more than 1341 horsepower.
The Lanzador’s expressive two-door body form conceals a modern and effective four-seat interior configuration.
Lamborghini is preparing for an electric future, and the daring Lanzador concept unveiled today is our best guess at what that may look like. While a production version isn’t planned until 2028, we can’t wait since the Lanzador looks like a cross between the rally-inspired Huracán Sterrato and the brawny Urus SUV, resulting in one badass child.
Is this an SUV? Is this a saloon built on stilts? No! According to Lamborghini, the Landazor is a totally new concept, a ‘Ultra-GT’ meant to bridge the gap between the Urus and its supercars. What’s the good news? It still looks like a Lambo, full of rage and angles, although stretched and raised into a startlingly new shape.
Lamborghini Lanzador: Performance & Battery
Officially, it’s a concept, but we recognise a thinly-veiled showroom model when we see one, especially when the press release is jam-packed with delicious data. It will feature two e-motors, one on each axle, and will provide over a megawatt of power – around 1,350bhp in old money. It will include rear-wheel steering, self-leveling air suspension, and a “new generation high-performance battery, which also ensures a long range,” according to the press release, though how long is not specified. We inquire, and Winkelman says that 300 miles is a minimum these days; we suspect that 400 miles will be closer to the mark in five years.
Lamborghini Lanzador: Looks & Interior
According to head of design Mitja Borkert, the external design is inspired by the new Countach (see razor slender headlamps), Sesto Elemento, and Murcielago. All we know is that the elevated stance and massive 23-inch wheels will take some getting used to, but the body is low and wide in the best Lambo style, and the front, rear, and finely-creased surfaces aren’t quite as difficult – they’re the Lambo we’re used to. Active aero is skilfully secreted away beneath the surface at both ends, enhancing downforce in tight bends and draining it off for less resistance, longer range, and higher speeds.
Inside, a skeleton Y-shaped central console separates driver and passenger, with fresh air beneath and a ‘pilot’s unit’ rotary control for air conditioning and entertainment on top. Because theatrical, an absolutely unneeded flip-up cover and start button are brought over from the combustion cars, and in addition to an instrument screen for the driver, there’s a second one for the passenger to prod. There’s also plenty of storage space, including a boot with custom baggage if a standard bag won’t suffice, as well as the option to fold the back seats and elevate the boot floor to provide a flat(ish) loading surface. The materials are also noteworthy: recycled plastic stitching, 3D-printed recycled foam, merino wool, ethically tanned leather…
