It’s the end of the road for supercars as you know them. Lamborghini’s remaining combustion engine models have been reserved until the end of their production, which means there will be no more new, wholly fossil-fuel-driven cars that customers can buy from the luxury automaker.
Per Reuters, CEO Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed with German newspaper WELT that the order list for Huracan and Urus cars is full, spelling a new electrified beginning for the company.
On that note, the company isn’t speeding to go all-electric. It will start slow and steady with hybrid options first.

Lamborghini plans to shell out at least €1.8 billion (US$1.96 billion) to empower its next chapter, which will initially be dominated by hybrid vehicles before an eventual arrival of an EV by the end of this decade. The carmaker is working out hybrid alternatives for the Aventador and Huracan variants, with the first fleet anticipated to roll out in 2024.
It is worth noting that while Lamborghini’s combustion cars are all booked out, the brand still has years to pass them along to drivers, since its hypercars have to be pre-ordered way in advance.
