为了应对越来越严格的排放法规，所有车厂都在转而推进包括涡轮增压和小排量引擎的技术。不过，兰博基尼是个例外，这个意大利跑车品牌最近再次强调将继续采用自然进气大排量引擎。不过，这并非意味着目前的10缸和12缸引擎仍将继续使用，不会有任何改变。车厂研发部门主管MaurizioReggiani表示，汽油-电动混动技术将在未来扮演越来越重要角色。他说：“我们将为超跑继续选择自然进气引擎。未来，我们将更多的考虑车辆的油耗和排放水平。可以确信，自然进气引擎加上混动系统是正确的选择。他暗示，新一代Aventador和Huracan将采用混动技术，不过，这将增加研发的复杂性。不过，这并非意味着车厂将推出纯电动超跑，毕竟，现在还没有这样的技术。

 

Lamborghini confirms next Huracan, Aventador going hybrid

Companies from all over the automotive spectrum are turning to technologies like forced induction and downsizing in a bid to meet looming emissions regulations. Not Lamborghini. The Italian brand has once again stressed its commitment to naturally-aspirated, large displacement engines.

 

That doesn't mean the brand's current 10- and 12-cylinder engines will carry on unchanged. Maurizio Reggiani, the head of Lamborghini's research and development department, suggested gasoline-electric hybrid technology will play an increasingly important role in the future."We will continue to choose natural aspiration for the super-sports cars. In the future, we will need to take account of fuel consumption and emissions. I am convinced the naturally aspirated engine coupled with a hybrid system can be the right answer," he told British magazine Autocar.

 

He hinted the replacements for the Aventador and the Huracan will go hybrid when they're launched around (or slightly after) the turn of the coming decade. It's a necessary encumbrance that complicates the development process.

We'll learn more details about Lamborghini's next-generation super-sports cars in the coming months. But while the brand is going all in on hybrid models, it's not ready to introduce an electric model because the right technology doesn't exist yet.
