CEO of Lamborghini Shares Information About Its Upcoming SUV

CEO Stephen Winkelmann tells Autoblog that the new SUV could likely have more than one engine, of which a hybrid unit and also a turbocharged unit. This could possibly be the first Lamborghini model with a turbocharged engine, and also the first plug in hybrid.

When asked why it has taken so long to get a green light for the SUV project, Winkelmann say’s it was a matter of business. “Putting 500 more people inside a company which is now at 1,200, you can imagine what it means. Doubling almost the size of the area here where we are sitting today. Investing hundreds and hundreds of millions. If you’re not clear about how you want to do that, and showing a clear model behind it, then for sure the Group is telling you come back when you are ready. And therefore it took time for us.”
