Lamborghini Lanzador Concept: the electric Lambo makes its debut at Monterey Car Week

Lamborghinis launches into the future with the Lanzador Concept, unveiled at Monterey Car Week to anticipate the arrival of the fourth production model expected in 2028. A future that reinterprets the concept of Granturismo, with a very tall 100% electric 2+2, which takes on the burden of redefining the typical Lamborghini driving pleasure. In the year in which the 60th anniversary falls of a house used to overcoming its challenges, as recounts the success of recent adventures on unexplored terrain with Urus and Huracán Sterrato. After the debut of Revuelto, the first V12 plug-in hybrid, the Lanzador paves the way towards a zero-emission standard model, based on both daily use and performance to broaden the audience of Lamborghini customers. “With this concept, we are opening up a new car segment: the Ultra GT,” he said Stephan Winkelmannpresident and chief executive officer of Automobili Lamborghini – which will offer customers a new and unparalleled driving experience, typically Lamborghini, thanks to cutting-edge technologies”.

Unedited proportions combined with the decisive and innovative style introduced with the Urus and evolved on the Lanzador, also with elements that recall the history of Lamborghini. Starting with the slim-cut front lights, inspired by those of the Countach Lpi 800-4, as well as the rear lights with 3 LED light points. The cabin was conceived to offer a spaceship atmosphere in homage to the Lamborghini philosophy “Feel like a pilot!” underlined by the numerous elements of aeronautical inspiration. They embellish a modular environment suitable for loading luggage or sports equipment, including bicycles.

Lamborghini Lanzador Concept: engines and battery

Combining unprecedented driving pleasure with the versatility of a car suitable for everyday use. To hit the target, Lanzador Concept boasts a concentrate of technology designed to better manage the megawatts of power overall in all driving situations. Lamborghini did not provide data on the power delivered by each of the Lanzador’s two electric motors, but spoke of a total value greater than one megawatt (over 1,369 hp) distributed on the four-wheel drive, equipped with a sophisticated torque distribution model active on the rear axle. The capacity of the latest generation high-performance battery has not been declared, according to the house capable of guaranteeing ample autonomy at the same time. However, the Lamborghini electrified driving experience, based on a sophisticated synergy between active control systems, will not be marked by record numbers. “Lamborghini will differentiate itself in the future through a different strategy concerning all active control systems. We are taking driving dynamics control to a whole new level, which has not previously been possible for production sports cars, offering our customers a completely new experience,” explains Rouven Mohr, technical director of Lamborghini. “Finding the right balance between power, performance, range and aerodynamics is certainly one of the biggest challenges during development, but the very concept of challenge is a cornerstone within Lamborghini’s Research & Development department.”

Lamborghini Lanzador Concept: aerodynamics and set-up

The management of the control systems while driving passes through the controls on the sports steering wheel. The driver can therefore actively change the behavior of the car and create his own individual profile. Lanzador Concept mounts the new version of the “Lamborghini integrated vehicle dynamics” (LDVI) control system, intended for use on production cars of the future. It takes advantage of a greater number of sensors and actuators to restore an engaging driving feeling, but also more in line with the driver’s style thanks to the new algorithm that interacts with the hardware. Range and performance are kept in check by the newly developed intelligent aerodynamics, which incorporate the Ala (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) system already used on the Huracán Performante and Aventador SVJ, together with new active aerodynamic devices at the front and rear. They are calibrated to ensure maximum efficiency in terms of range in driving mode Urbanand the best possible downforce in that Performance. The active aerodynamics system uses, among its components, the active front grille and the mobile splitter. The latter, when deployed, opens the brake cooling ducts and cooling fins to improve performance. Remaining at the front, the slits in the S-Duct duct improve the downforce depending on the mode set: Efficient or Downforce. The louvres provide downforce without fueling drag, as do the specially designed 23-inch wheels. The presence of the rear steering axle and the pneumatic suspensions allow the Lanzador to best adapt to any surface. Also and above all based on the settings defined by the driver through the Wheelspeed Control system, which regulates the power and torque on the wheels for fluid and precise corner entry, guaranteeing an engaging drive, especially on particularly winding stretches.
