    Lamborghini To Keep Its Normally Aspirated V10 And V12 Engines For Now

    While electrification has been the common solution to turn to for manufacturers to save the supercar, things aren’t so simple for Lamborghini as its cars are well known and admired reasons beyond their ability to go fast. Nonetheless, the Italian manufacturer plans to use hybridisation to its advantage.

    The meat of a Lamborghini (apart from insane styling) is its thunderous, high-revving, free-breathing, fire-spitting engine. Fortunately, the Italian supercar maker has found a solution, albeit short term, to keep its huge and loud normally aspirated powerplants just how we like them.

    Up until the Urus came with a turbocharged V8 engine, Lamborghini has been notorious for making low-slung mid-engined supercars packing naturally aspirated V10 and V12 engines. The Italian car manufacturer is finding it hard to let this go as these engines form a bulk of the reason why the brand has won the hearts of its thousands of fans young and old. Lamborghini is in talks of building a loud electric powertrain for the inevitable future of electrified motoring, one that sort of forms part of the brand’s nature. But for now, the brand is keeping its normally aspirated V10 and V12 by introducing hybrid technology for their respective models.

    CEO of Lamborghini, Stefano Domenicali, said at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that the next Aventador will retain the V12 but it will also be a hybrid. The former team principal of Scuderia Ferrari confirmed that the company has made a decision on the matter and talks about natural aspiration which will keep the brand “different from the others.”

    Domenicali also stated that the current Huracan’s replacement will be feature a hybrid V10 powertrain, emphasising that the naturally V10 engine would be “first priority” as it is reminiscent of the Gallardo LP 560-4 from 2008, but there is still time to reach a verdict.

    A fully electric yet loud Lamborghini may not form part of the company’s strategy for some time, but because of the additional lump of weight that normally comes with battery packs, Lamborghini is already looking into alternatives to lithium-ion for when a full EV does finally reach development stage possibly in the next decade. Until then, we can still enjoy having naturally aspirated Lamborghini V10 and V12 on our roads.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
