Earlier this year, Lamborghini presented its Direzione Cor Tauri roadmap that calls for the automaker to electrify its entire lineup by the end of 2024 and add a fourth model in the second half of the decade. The latter will be a fully electric vehicle, but the company has been tight-lipped about it. However, a new report suggests it will be an electric GT with a 2+2 seating arrangement. Little is known about the car at this point, but Automotive News is reporting the model is being developed in cooperation with Audi and Porsche. It’s rumored to ride on the new SSP platform and Lamborghini is reportedly targeting a launch between 2025 and 2027.
That isn’t much to go on, but the Scalable Systems Platform will serve as the successor to the MQB, MSB, MLB, MEB and PPE architectures. Volkswagen has previously said the platform is slated to go into production in 2026 and will be “highly scalable” as more than 40 million vehicles will be built on the architecture over the course of its lifetime.
When the platform was announced, Audi CEO Markus Duesmann said “Introducing the SSP means leveraging our strengths in platform management and building on our capabilities to maximize synergies across segments and brands. In the long run, our SSP will significantly reduce complexity in mechatronics” as well as “lower CAPEX [Capital Expenditures], R&D [Research and Development] and unit costs compared to MEB and PPE, and … enable the Group to reach its financial targets.” While little else is known about the model at this point, there’s little doubt it will use some of the best electric motors and batteries available as Lamborghini is one of Volkswagen’s prestige brands.
