Lamborghini’s future cars

[BavarianBeast]

With the world heading towards EV and hybrid vehicles, lamborghini CEO has announced the Huracan Sterrato will be their last naturally aspirated engine.

The Huracan replacement is rumoured to either be a hybrid V8TT or potentially a hybrid V10. Nobody really knows for sure, but it would be nice to see the V10 kept alive.

The Aventador replacement will be getting a DCT transmission finally and will be a newly developed V12 hybrid. Lamborghini’s VIP clients will be going to NYC between the 7-10th for a first look so I am hoping there will be a lot leaked afterwards. So far it’s expected to be around 900-1000hp which would push it into the big leagues of horsepower.

I have to admit, I’m not very excited about the future of automotive. Sure the cars are going to be a lot faster, but I feel with the hybridization the emotion and driving experience is going to dissipate.

Is anyone excited about the future cars becoming hybrid/EV? Am I wrong to think that hybridization will take away the emotion and driving experience?

I started saying this years ago. Welcome aboard.

I think the entire car buying and ownership experience has been polluted past the point of return.

I don’t get excited about future cars anymore, and there is hardly anything on the market worth buying these days.

[DonJuan]

I stopped getting excited about new cars a while ago. Older cars and "new classic" cars are where it's at for me.

[rage2]

I’m the only one here for hybridization. I feel it’s delivering a better driving experience without losing out on the emotions that ICE engines evoke. Basically a win/win for me.

I blame a lot of that on youtube actually. Car influencers and youtubers have made cars cringey now for the most part. Which defeats the purpose of cars for most people: the flex.

hybrids will be a blip we barely remember on the way to full EVs.

It's the minidisk of car tech.

LoL I thought the Aventador was retired about 2 years ago and the Sián was its replacement! I figured I must be wrong when I heard you mention its "pending successor" recently.
And it turns out, that's the case. Wouldn't mind a Sián, though!

Good analogy, minidisc was awesome too.

Buster does say this every new car thread. Why hasn't someone put that in his user tag yet? Mods?

I still think current battery technology isn’t sustainable. Whatever we have today with EVs is the minidisc of car tech. Our automotive future won’t be with big ass lithium ion batteries with poor energy density and a long list of other shortcomings. Hybrids is more like adding shock protection to CD walkmans, if you wanna go that analogy haha.

Battery tech is the key that unlocks a lot of things. The $/joule being cut in half or quarter will make many things possible.

Don't forget weight in that equation.

I just don't think current battery tech, or even solid state can improve to get anywhere close to carbon fuels.

[killramos]

Weight is good

-car guys

[ExtraSlow]

Weight is a huge deal for performance cars. But for "the rest of us" it's not that big of a deal. Besides, any improvement in $/joule will almost certainly mean an improvement in kg/joule as well.

Love how that guy shifted 3 times in the span of about 15mph

[ExtraSlow]

I shift a lot too.

[Thaco]

People who whine about losing the "feel" are just closet EV haters, just clinging to any excuse to hate them, and they know that's one that cant be taken away because it's subjective.



I am looking forward to the general availability of EV skateboards and/or axles so we can put classic bodies on an EV skateboard, this will allow older cars to be saved, more styling diversity that ICE people like to complain about... while having better performance, emissions, and overall drivability.

Conversions are there but it probably won't be as easy as slapping body on a skateboard.

the first gas engine car was patented in 1886, the first mast production was more than 20 years later, actually reliable/affordable vehicles was many years after that, but people seem to think EVs should be fully mature instantly.

yeah i know they exist, but they're just nor affordable/obtainable/viable yet
