Lamborghini’s fourth model could be an all-electric 2+2

Lamborghini is plotting to add a fourth model to its insane lineup. Sports cars, hypercars and SUVs are all covered in its range, so what it needs now is a four-seat grand tourer. And, since its 2019, probably a battery-powered one, says a new Autocar report.If you look at the timing for a fourth model line, there is the potential that this will be the right time for a full-electric vehicle, according to Lamborghini RD boss Maurizio Reggiani.The vehicle is rumoured to drop in 2025, which would coincide with parent company Volkswagen’s planned onslaught of electric supremacy.Its very possible, also, that the vehicle will use VWs PPE platform, the one that underpins the Porsche Taycan, the Audi eTron GT and a rumoured forthcoming all-electric Bentley.

The acceleration would also have to rival what Tesla is putting out these days, which means under 3.0 seconds to 100 km/h from zero.Apparently nobody knows what words mean anymore, because its unclear if the vehicle would be a four-door or a coupe. Bosses at Lamborghini are calling it a 2+2, indicating its a two-door vehicle with seats behind the driver and passenger.However, the styling is said to take after the Estoque concept, which is a four-door. Perhaps the Estoque will be considered in the design process, losing two of its doors to become a svelte, modern take on the Lamborghini Espada. We can only
