Borkert said electric cars were eventually necessary at Lamborghini as"we are living on the same planet as everyone else", but it was important regardless that the firm looked forward to evolve."We need to always use new technology. There's always a new generation" of buyers coming through, said Borkert.
The switch to electrification has also opened up new design opportunities, he said – for example,"with the muffler, we can use that area for aero… in a very cool way". Borkert added:"I'm convinced we can introduce smart aero in the future." He also dismissed the suggestion that batteries created packaging issues and would alter the proportions of Lamborghinis.
