Lamborghini plotting GT return
Lamborghini’s CEO confirmed the brand will add a two‑door grand tourer before 2030 to fill a gap in its lineup, and the company has pushed its first production EV launch to after 2030. (autoguide.com) (mathrubhumi.com)
At the 12 Hours of Sebring, Lamborghini chief Stephan Winkelmann told Road & Track that the brand is actively exploring a two‑door 2+2 grand tourer and described it as the model the company is currently “missing.” (motor1.com) Winkelmann said company decision‑makers have explicitly ruled out developing a four‑door sedan or a new small SUV as options for that fourth model slot.

(techtimes.com) Since that reveal, Lamborghini has revised the Lanzador’s roadmap, moving away from a near‑term full‑EV production plan and reworking the project toward hybrid architectures amid changing market signals. (carscoops.com) Winkelmann has pointed to weak customer demand and a lack of an “emotional connection” with EV supercars as reasons for prioritizing high‑performance plug‑in hybrids instead. (euronews.com) Lamborghini frames the prospective two‑door 2+2 as a return to its earlier GT lineage — the marque’s last dedicated 2+2 was the Espada in 1978 — and media outlets note it would compete in the same grand‑tourer space as cars from Bentley and Aston Martin.
