In Lamborghini's latest product planning, we also see the pace of brand electrification transformation, the new pure electric four-seater crossover will be unveiled in 2028, and the new Urus pure electric version may be unveiled in 2029. Lamborghini's first pure electric model may adopt a 2+2 seat layout, will be a crossover, or will pay more attention to the creation of space and luxury, which will be a huge change for Lamborghini, which has always emphasized the ultimate sport, what do you think?
Write at the end
In the era of the internal combustion engine, we often use the displacement of the engine to measure the luxury of a car, bentley, Rolls-Royce V8, V12, W12 and other large-displacement engines, in a sense also represent their top luxury. And when super luxury car companies like Bentley and Rolls-Royce have also opened the electrification transformation, can't the pure trams they launched be called luxury cars?
For these top brands, the use of pure electric power, can still achieve a strong power output, but a new source of power, is still the top luxury. However, this will have a huge impact on the automotive industry. When ultra-luxury brands also began to enter the ranks of pure electricity, perhaps we should face the new era of the automotive industry with a more open mind.
