My my Estoque, how you’ve changed… Lamborghini has finally delivered a glimpse into its all-electric future, with the unveiling of the Lanzador concept. While the Lamborghini Lanzador has been termed a ‘concept’, expect to see its angular form in showrooms come 2028.

Dubbed an ‘Ultra GT’, something Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann claims is a new car segment (an assertion also made by Aston Martin upon the launch of its ‘Super Tourer’ DB12), the 2+2 concept combines the dynamic form of the Huracán Sterrato with the generous proportions of the Urus, with more than a hint of the Estoque concept peppered in.
“With Lanzador we are looking into our future without forgetting our DNA,” says Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini. “The first coupés from Lamborghini with their front engines were sporty, elegant Gran Turismos suitable for everyday use as 2+2-seaters. The concept for our fourth production model leverages our philosophy of super sportiness combined with brave new technologies and fearless design.”
The Lamborghini Lanzador has been bestowed with a dual-motor setup, one sitting on each axle to provide all-wheel drive. Both motors provide a combined peak power of over one megawatt — that’s just over 1340 bhp for the petrol-powered luddites.
A range of driving control systems work to ensure optimal control of the car’s handling. Designed to make the driver ‘feel like a pilot’, active e-torque vectoring on the rear axle ensured ‘dynamic cornering behaviour’, meaning it’s able to grip and corner better than its hefty appearance suggests.
According to Mitja Borkert, head of design at Lamborghini, the Landazor takes inspiration from spaceships, as well as the Countach, Sesto Elemento, Murciélago, and Huracán Sterrato; the latter influencing the ‘pilot’s’ driving position of the concept. Sitting in classic low and wide fashion (with a 1.5 metre roof height), it features the sculpted surfaces and dramatic angles we’ve come to expect from the Raging Bull. That said, it’s set on colossal 23-inch alloys which are decidedly more Urus than sportscar.
Inside, the pilot theme continues, with a generous Y-shaped console and new digital displays. The roomy interior features sustainable materials such as merino wool on the dashboard, seats, and door panels; as well as thread made from recycled materials, regenerated carbon, and sustainably tanned leather.
No price has been revealed, but expect it to sit over the $1 million mark.
