Lamborghini's head honcho believes there's great potential in synthetic fuels as the savior of ICEs: "We still have the opportunity maybe to go into synthetic fuel with those types of cars." However, Winkelmann mentioned it can only be achieved if the legislation is changed, which he can't project will happen soon. If synthetic fuels won't gain traction, the 57-year-old executive says Lambo will go purely electric in the early 2030s.

The firm's first model to do away with a combustion engine will arrive in 2028 as a crossover. Before that happens, a plug-in hybrid Urus is expected to break cover before the end of the year. The facelifted Urus and Huracan Sterrato will go down in history as Lamborghini’s final ICE-only cars, with both coming out in the following months.

By 2025, the Italian automaker aims to halve CO₂ emissions by hybridizing all three model lines through a €1.5-billion investment. Some of the money will be used to further develop carbon fiber as a method to offset the weight gains caused by the additional hardware that comes with an electrified setup.
