Lamborghini Announces It Will Shift Away From Combustion Engines and Focus on Hybrid Car Production Starting Next Year. The Automaker’s Electric Cars Will Arrive in the Automotive Market by 2024

In the electric car race, Italian Lamborghini is gearing up to take the last lap with combustion engines that power models like the Aventador, as the sports car manufacturer shifts its lineup to plug-in hybrids. According to Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini, this will be the last time the company offers only combustion engines.

Manufacturer Sets Record With Its Combustion Engines

Owner of the Lamborghini brand, the Volkswagen Group, with models like the Aventador, Urus, and Huracan focused on the racetracks, will present its first plug-in hybrid production car next year, before bringing its fully electric cars in 2024.

This year, the Italian automaker has nearly exhausted its production after record deliveries last year, according to Winkelmann. Lamborghini allocated a record €1.5 billion to the shift to plug-in hybrids and plans to bring a fully battery-powered model to market during the second half of the decade.

Lamborghini Has Yet to Release Its Results from Last Year

The automaker of combustion engine cars is still working on a final project for its first electric car and is leaning towards a four-door model aimed at daily use.

Lamborghini has yet to disclose its results from last year but is on track for a profit (before interest and taxes) of 20%, according to a presentation to investors. The figures mentioned are compared to returns of just over 25% during the first nine months of last year for Ferrari. Full-year earnings, which are expected to be posted in March, should come in at a level that surprises everyone, Winkelmann stated. Surprising, of course, in a positive way.

Land Rover Decides to Focus on Hybrid and Electric Cars

With the imminent end of combustion engines, Land Rover is producing its first sustainable model. The Range Rover will take advantage of the arrival of the 5th generation, which was unveiled last year and will be built on the new MLA platform, created by the group for a range of electric and hybrid cars.

Expecting a fully electric version to arrive in about 3 years, the new Range Rover will start as a hybrid vehicle in two versions that will be available by the end of this year. These versions may hit the market equipped with a gasoline engine and a simply sized battery, which has a capacity of 38 kWh and promises to charge to 80% in just half an hour. The model will feature a power output of 510 horsepower and a torque of 71.3 kgfm, capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Driven by the BBB showcase, the Chinese Hatch surges in retail, surpasses the Corolla Cross, and begins to threaten Hyundai and BYD in one of the month’s most unexpected turns.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.

At a depth of 914 meters, a team accidentally discovers a pirate ship with cannons, a telescope, and objects from three continents on the seabed, uncovering a mystery that has haunted Europe for centuries.

Toyota is preparing the new 2028 Corolla Cross with 7 seats, an extended wheelbase of +15 cm, up to 4.65 m in length, hybrid with 100 km in electric mode, more efficient 1.5 and 2.0 turbo engines, and Safety Sensing 4.0 technology with AI and remote updates.

Made from common salt and 50% cheaper than lithium, the new Chinese battery promises a range of 500 km and could revolutionize electric cars starting in 2026.

Fiat made its mark in Brazil with the Locker differential, Stilo Abarth 2.4 five-cylinder, Coupe designed by Chris Bangle, Uno Turbo, and the rare Oggi CSS, five ideas that became history when no one believed in innovation.
