Lamborghini ’s CEO has suggested that the future of the Italian supercar manufacturer will include mild hybrid models, both in an effort to boost power and to comply with ever-stricter emissions regulations in Europe and North America.
CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Automobilwoche that a fully electric Lamborghini is out of the question, however, meaning the automaker won’t go down the same path as Tesla .
Winkelmann said that he would look for electric motors to help the sports cars reduce their consumption in urban, low-speed driving, but that a gasoline engine would be the best solution for high-performance driving.
The automaker said back in March at the Geneva Motor Show that it intends to spend about $50 million over the next five years to reduce its emissions.
