Before now, details of the hybrid V12’s powertrain have been scarce, with no knowledge of whether it would be a plug-in hybrid, traditional hybrid, or merely adopt the supercapacitor technology of the Sian. It was the latter that company CTO Rouven Mohr suggested will feature, but this new sound clip suggests otherwise.
Supercapacitors are great at charging and discharging bursts of energy rapidly but do not retain power for long enough to be able to sustain e-driving. Unless Lamborghini has developed the technology to the point that this is now viable, it would appear the hybrid Lambo will have a traditional hybrid battery pack of sorts. Whether it will be plug-in or not, however, is still a mystery.
We shouldn’t have to wait too long, however, as a reveal is likely to happen in the next few months.
