Lamborghini celebrates engines of the present and future

Lamborghini celebrated their naturally aspirated engines by running three of their most aurally impressive models up the Goodwood hill this week.

It also heralds development of Lamborghini’s first Hybrid models, due 2023.

For as long as the brand has been in existence, the soundtrack of Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated engines have been as emotive as the gorgeous lines of the vehicles they power. To celebrate their naturally aspirated engines, and welcome their first Hybrid models, Lamborghini made plenty of noise at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The legendary Lamborghini V12 has been a pillar for the brand for decades, but in more recent years, the V10 has also provided aural delight for Gallardo and Huracan drivers. But the brand must also embrace technology to power their future.

As we reluctantly bid farewell to the iconic V12 super sports Aventador, Lamborghini ran this model up the Goodwood hill together with Huracán STO and EVO models in an octane-infused cacophony before the Italian super sports car manufacturer unveils its first hybrid models from 2023 onwards.

Signaling the future, Lamborghini’s latest Huracán Tecnica, with a market introduction at the beginning of 2023, was displayed on Lamborghini’s stand next to Ristorante 1963: Goodwood’s Italian restaurant named after the year of Lamborghini’s foundation. 

The aspirated rear-wheel-drive V10 delivers Lamborghini’s technical and design prowess in a Huracán created for the best fun-to-drive performance together with everyday drivability.

A line-up of Lamborghini Squadra Corse cars including the Essenza SCV12 and new Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 were also displayed outside the exclusive Drivers’ Club, each the inspiration for a watch by Roger Dubuis: a partner of Lamborghini Squadra Corse and this year’s Festival of Speed timing partner.

“Goodwood Festival of Speed is an iconic event celebrating automotive and motorsports creations, achievements, and the pure excitement of cars and bikes on road and track,” says Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The roar and emotion of aspirated engines, especially Lamborghini’s inimitable powerplants, continues to be a draw to so many enthusiasts: this year we especially celebrate Lamborghini engines even as we embrace a future heralding exciting technologies and engineering solutions as we continue on our route towards electrification.”

Stephan Winkelmann and other board directors of the famed Italian brand hosted more than 450 Lamborghini owners and VIPs in its hospitality lounge next to Ristorante 1963.
