JAKARTA - Lamborghini is preparing its first electric car based on the Lanzador which will be launched towards the end of this decade. Before becoming a production model, it is known that the Italian manufacturer is studying other high-performance EV cars such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

Reporting from Motor1, Tuesday, January 7, a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was caught on camera passing in and out of Lamborghini's headquarters, precisely in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.

In the video, the route usually taken by Lamborghini's camouflage-covered supercars is now taken by the electric crossover. Surprisingly, the manufacturer with the "raging bull" logo is not shy about testing the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N with a striking Performance Blue color scheme.

However, it is possible that the car is owned by an employee at the facility. However, it would be very interesting if Lamborghini studied more deeply about Hyundai's high-performance EV.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has been the talk of the town since its launch in mid-2023, which also proved that high-performance cars can come with electric powertrains.

The car itself is powered by a 641 hp dual electric motor powertrain that is equivalent to Lamborghini supercars such as the Urus and Huracan.

Meanwhile, the brand founded by Ferrucio Lamborghini confirmed that it will launch its first EV based on Lanzador in 2029 or one year later than previously announced.

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said this step was taken because he saw that the current sports car market was not ready to move to full electrification. Previously, the Italian manufacturer announced that it would launch its first EV in 2028.

Thus, Lamborghini confirms that it is not in a rush to push electrification in the future. In addition, the brand is also waiting for clearer regulatory prospects in the European Union because the review of the bloc's ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035 is currently scheduled for 2026.

The Lanzador concept carries a style with a 2 + 2 seater GT type that has high ground clearance, presents a sporty and very fun driving experience.

This car will be equipped with dual electric motors on each axle to ensure that the electric drive can work optimally in all conditions and all-wheel drive with active e-torque vectoring on the rear axle.
