The Bull is looking beyond the Huracán. The Aventador is done. Even the Urus SUV has had its run. Now, Lamborghini is seriously considering a fourth pillar for its lineup. And it isn’t just another SUV. According to Autocar, the next move is a four-door electric GT. Rear-wheel drive. A first for the Italian marque.
Maurizio Reggiani, Lamborghini’s head of research and development, didn’t mince words. The project for a 2+2 electric vehicle is on the verge of getting the green light. Development is about to start. The goal? A launch around 2025.
VW Platform Strategy
Here’s the catch. This fully electric Lambo won’t be built on a bespoke Lamborghini platform. Not yet. The engineering team plans to leverage one of the Volkswagen Group’s existing electric architectures. The logic is simple. Cut development time. Lower costs.
Which platform will it be? The J1? That’s the skateboard architecture behind the Porsche Taycan and the upcoming Audi e-tron GT. Or perhaps the Premium Platform Electric (PPE)? That’s the base for the rumored all-electric Bentley. Sant’Agata is playing the long game, using shared tech to keep the price tag manageable while maintaining performance standards.
Design and Heritage
What will it look like? That’s the million-euro question. We’re talking about the spiritual successor to the Lamborghini Espada. That legendary four-seat grand tourer rolled off the line from 1968 to 1978. It was practical for a supercar, but it’s been gone for decades.
Rumors point to two likely design inspirations. First, the Lamborghini Estoque. That concept car debuted at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It was sleek. It was a preview of what a four-door Lambo could be. Second, there’s the Asterion. Revealed in 2014, this plug-in hybrid concept blended V10 power with electric motors. A nod to that design language would make sense for a modern GT.
Sián Technology Transfer
Performance will be non-negotiable. It’s Lamborghini, after all. The new GT needs to match the brand’s reputation. How? Likely by borrowing tech from the Sián.
The Sián is a hybrid supercar. It pairs a 785-horsepower V12 with an electric motor. But it’s not just any battery. It uses supercapacitors. These charge during braking. They discharge for bursts of acceleration. It’s high power, fast response. If Lamborghini transplants this hybrid system into a four-door GT, you’re looking at serious torque and speed.
Will it happen? Reggiani suggests yes. The project is close to official approval. The pieces are in place. The question is just how quickly they’ll assemble them.

We’ll be watching. The Bull is preparing to charge. Again.
