Lamborghini remains committed to the V12 engine

The company also recognises the need to reduce emissions.

Italian supercar brand, Lamborghini says it is still committed to offering V12 engines on its cars.

According to a media report, Lamborghini is committed to offering V12 engines on its supercars for as long as possible. The Italian supercar brand states that it has no plans of downsizing the engines to turbo V8s - as being done by many other automakers.

Maurizio Reggiani, the technology & engineering head at Lamborghini stated that the V12 engine is part of the brand's heritage and they want the sound of the engine to remain the most important characteristic on future cars as well.

Having said that, the company also recognises the need to reduce emissions. Lamborghini has already announced its plans to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2025. The company also confirmed the arrival of its first pure-electric supercar by 2030.

Ahead of their first EV launch, the company will be introducing hybrid versions of each of its products. In line with this, the company recently brought back the iconic Countach nameplate.

The new (2022) Lamborghini Countach features a 6.5-litre V12 paired with a 48V electric motor. The hybrid powertrain produces 802 BHP and 720 Nm. The Countach also comes with regenerative braking, with the energy being stored in a supercapacitor, first seen on the Sian.
