Since the Revuelto supercar debuted two years ago, Lamborghini has promised it would keep the V12 alive till 2030. However, the carmaker hadn’t indicated what would happen to the engine after that. However, Lamborghini now insists that the 12-cylinder will stay in production for even longer. “The horizon for us is even more than 2030 now,” says product line director Matteo Ortenzi. “It’s part of the character of [the Revuelto]we like the responsiveness of the engine, it’s a signature for us, so we don’t want to change it.” He was speaking at the reveal of the Fenomeno, and pointed to the Revuelto’s hybrid system as the pathway to maintaining its 12-cylinder motor. “This allows us to comply with the legislation, especially in CO2 and emissions, which would be difficult to comply with if we did not have this kind of technology,” he said. Lamborghini’s re-commitment to the V12 comes at the same time as it is scaling back its EV plans. The carmaker was initially supposed to launch its first EV in 2028, and make the Urus an EV in 2029. However, earlier this year, CEO Stephan Winkelmann walked back those plans, saying that the two cars could be plug-in hybrids. Source: Motor1
