Lamborghini Pauses on EV Future; Winkelmann Shares Strategy

In the latest episode of Chapeau Media, Stephan Winkelmann pulls back the curtain on one of Lamborghini's most pressing issues: its first all-electric vehicle. His statement sums it up perfectly: “Not everything that we’re best at is always right to do.”Within Sant’Agata Bolognese’s facilities, the CEO reveals that while Lamborghini could easily produce an electric supercar – one that's exciting, fast, and radical – he isn't convinced it should be done right now. The global slowdown in EV adoption has forced the brand to reconsider its plans for a 2030 release.Technologically feasible but strategically questionable at this point, Winkelmann explains, “The technology is there, but the market isn’t responding as expected.” With many manufacturers rethinking their strategies and investments, ...
