JAKARTA - The iconic Italian supercar brand, Lamborghini, still has no plans to launch a full electric supercar. This was revealed by Lamborghini's Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, in an interview with Motor1 recently.

Mohr stated that now is not the right time to present an electric supercar, at least in the super sports car segment. According to him, many electric cars have been launched on the market but they are not really successful.

Although not specifically mentioned, some examples of electric supercars that Mohr might be referring to are Pininfarina Battista and Rimac Nevera, both of which are cars with very high prices but with low production volume.

In addition to the lack of sales success from rivals. Mohr feels that electric cars still lack the emotional elements needed for a supercar.

"It is clear that a full electric car from Lamborghini must have this kind of joy factor. It's not just about maximum power, maximum acceleration. Those things are commodities," Mohr said, quoted by The Drive, October 10.

Lamborghini also realized that electric supercars are the ultimate goal, but they emphasized that the car should prioritize unique sensations and driving experiences, rather than just energy and speed.

"You can be sure that when we present the first electric Lamborghini, we don't think of presenting other standard electric cars, with one megawatt power. It's not like that. You need differentiation," he said.

Lamborghini itself has not fully disclosed what will be the differentiation. However, Mohr stated that it would not be in the form of simulations of internal combustion engines, such as engine sounds and dental displacements simulated on the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

"We need something that an internal combustion engine cannot offer," said Mohr.

While Lamborghini is still focused on hybrid technology, as seen in Lamborghini Temerario with the V8 hybrid powertrain, car enthusiasts can still enjoy the outstanding performance of this Italian supercar brand.
