The final version of Aventador could allow for a preview.
We are going to be brutally open and admit that we have lost track of the number of Lamborghini Aventador versions Lamborghini produced in the past decade. The Murcielago’s replacement was released in 2011. While supercars do not usually have a seven year product cycle, the mid-engined Lamborghini from Sant’Agata Bolognese has been around for a while.
According to a new report by, a replacement is coming. Autocar . One of the most prestigious British magazines claims to be one two V12 models already confirmed Lamborghini will debut the Aventador successor later in the year, effectively previewing it. This would be logical considering that the Reventon, which was launched at the end of 2007, served as a preview of the Aventador.
In September 2019, Lamborghini’s design boss Mitja Bokert stated that the hybrid supercar’s design wouldn’t be used as a preview of the next-generation flagship V12 model. The new model will be different, but inherit the hybrid powertrain of the first-ever electrified production model.
Maurizio Reggiani, the company’s technical head, has confirmed that the V12 will not use turbocharging. A hybrid setup will offer the best of both the worlds, increasing output and helping Lamborghini comply with increasingly strict emissions regulations. At one time, an all-wheel drive layout was in consideration. The naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine drove the rear wheels and an electrical motor powered the front axle.
Aventador’s replacement will likely use a supercapacitor and a lithium-ion batteries to get the extra power without adding bulk. The Sian FKP37 has extra hardware that weighs in at 75 pounds (34 kg), which is significantly lower than a regular hybrid powertrain. It delivers 34 horsepower and has a mild-hybrid configuration.
The other V12 Lambo, also debuting this year will be able to inherit the supercapacitor technology of the Sian FKP 37. It has a combined output power of 808 horsepower. According to Autocar, a updated Urus will be available in 2022 with a plugin hybrid setup. The Huracan will not be replaced until 2024.
The possibility of a fourth model, possibly a fully electric 2+2 grand tourer has been in consideration for some time, but it is unlikely to be on the market before 2025.
