2029 Lamborghini Lanzador First Look: Ultra GT EV Offers Side Effects of Fun
Ask your doctor if an all-electric Lamborghini is right for you.
We’ve all been burned once before by a beautiful 2+2 Lamborghini GT design, the stunning Asterion concept car from back in 2015. The Asterion offered a promise of a future hybrid Lamborghini grand touring coupe, though it sadly never materialized as a production model (though its hybrid spirit lives on, in a fashion, in the Urus SUV and all-new Revuelto V-12 plug-in supercar). Now, it’s the Lamborghini Lanzador EV concept’s turn to twist our imaginations around what an all-electric Lamborghini could be—even with a name fit for prescription medication.
Echoes of Asterion and Urus
The sculpted exterior design of the new Lanzador “ultra” GT EV, as Lambo is labeling it, recalls a few signature elements of the 2015 Asterion GT hybrid design, including a similar shade of blue paint that seems to have carried over concept-to-concept (called Azzurro Abissale in this application). However, the Lanzador sports broader intakes and slimmer headlights up front more akin to the Urus, with a cab-forward profile that pushes the windshield above the front axle.
The rear pointed lighting elements on the Asterion have shifted now to be six red ovals, offering a differentiated rear light signature compared to the angled Revuelto arrangement. The Lanzador also appears to sit and ride slightly higher, with a high cabin floor due to the packaging of the sled-like battery pack chassis, making it appear like something of an Urus coupe—though Lamborghini does specify the highest point of the roof measures up to just under 5 feet tall.
A New Pitch
The Lanzador name is Spanish, and while it can translate as “pitcher” (as in baseball), in this case it’s named at an award-winning bull that took “best bull” honors at the 1993 Madrid Fair, continuing Lamborghini’s long association with bullfighting. Acknowledging the word’s literal meaning, Lamborghini also said the name is intended to show how Lamborghini will launch itself “into the future.” Either way, it’s a fittingly sporty name for something labeling itself an ultra GT car that’s pioneering the EV space for Lamborghini.
It’s positioned to be the “everyday driver” Lambo, combining the capability of a sports car with a little more versatility—without going “full SUV” like the Urus. The electric drivetrain of the new Lanzador features one high-power e-motor per axle, promising up to one megawatt of energy deployment, or roughly a ridiculous 1,340 horsepower going through all four wheels, with active torque management keeping things stable. Specs like range, torque, and other details are not yet available, but later interviews in 2025 suggested that the Lanzador could come with as much as 2,000 horsepower, and promises to be the most powerful Lambo ever sold regardless if it’s one megawatt or more of power. Company reps also updated the timetable for the Lanzador, claiming it would now go on sale a year later than its initial 2028 plan. It will ride on an all-new Volkswagen Group shared performance platform between Bentley, Porsche, and Lamborghini, at least, if not also Audi.
Inner-vations
The interior of the new Lanzador GT is inspired by various Lamborghinis of the past (as well as spaceships), so it’s no surprise that the cabin is meant to make the driver feel like a pilot. The EV GT offers a 2+2 layout for up to four passengers, with the rear seats specifically designed to easily accompany inorganic objects like unspecified sporting equipment (think golf clubs) as well. There’s also a frunk under the hood, joined by a wide-opening large glass tailgate at the rear, with adjustable rear seats for more cargo capacity.
The cabin dashboard is thin so as to be lightweight, and defined by a Y-shaped motif on the center console. Within driver’s reach is the “pilot unit” for the entertainment and climate controls, with automatically retracting screens that disappear in certain spicy drive modes. Seats, door cards, and the dashboard are covered in Italian-sourced sustainable Merino wool with recycled color-contrasted threaded stitching, while the seating foam is made from 3D-printed recycled fibers, and there’s available Italian-sourced sustainable leather. Structural carbon accents inside are developed with a two-layer regenerated carbon composite material, Lamborghini says.
