Driving pleasure can be basic to the success of future EVs from supercar makers like Lamborghini and its neighbor Ferrari, in Maranello. Each face the problem of delivering pleasure with out the roar and drama of an engine. However this additionally presents producers with the chance to attempt one thing new.
Driving Dynamics

For the Lanzador, this implies the Lamborghini Dynamic Veicolo Integrata, or LDVI, a driving dynamics management system. The corporate says how “significantly extra sensors and actuators can be built-in into the LDVI sooner or later to create even finer and extra exact driving habits, with innovation within the {hardware}, and in addition the management algorithm that manages the elements.” What this sensor overload truly means in actuality, nevertheless, is remarkably unclear. Nonetheless, in a bid to excite driving fanatics involved about what an electrical supercar will really feel like, Lamborghini provides, “The extra sensors and information fed to the management system, the extra refined the algorithm is in delivering the nuances of driving sensations and suggestions.”
Inside, the Lanzador manages to dodge a lot of the standard idea automotive clichés. The steering wheel doesn’t fold away into the dashboard, there aren’t any holograms, and no autonomous digicam drones importing selfies to Instagram. It’s an inside that appears recent and trendy, however which makes the Lanzador appear plausible; not some far-off idea destined just for teenage bed room partitions.
The two+2 structure means there are two small seats behind the motive force and front-row passenger, and behind the second row is a beneficiant storage space Lamborghini says is appropriate for “carrying all types of sports activities tools or baggage.” Certainly, the idea is introduced with a set of tailor-made luggage, naturally, and if this house makes it to manufacturing we will see the Lanzador being considerably sensible … at the least for a Lamborghini. There’s additionally a frunk, owing to the dearth of engine underneath the nostril, and the massive glass tailgate opens extensive for straightforward entry, echoing that of the Nineteen Seventies Lamborghini Espada.
No 2023 idea automotive can be full with out a vary of recycled and sustainable supplies. For the Lanzador, Lamborghini makes use of leather-based tanned with water sourced from olive oil manufacturing, together with renewable Merino wool, “regenerated carbon” made with bio-based resin, artificial yarn made partially of plastic recovered from the ocean, and 3D-printed foam used within the seats and made out of recycled plastic bottles, amongst different waste.
The Lanzador will not be an electrical supercar from the identical bloodline as icons just like the Miura, Countach, and Aventador. That may come later. For now it’s a demonstration of how an electrical platform provides automotive producers and their designers a possibility to create one thing new—a fourth automobile mannequin for Lamborghini, on this case.
It due to this fact neatly sidesteps the sticky matter of what a Lamborghini supercar will look, drive, and sound like when inner combustion is outlawed—and for now it might lure in new clients who aren’t in search of a flame-spitting avenue racer within the first place.
