The fully electric Lamborghini Lanzador crossover prototype previews a production model set to debut in 2028
Lamborghini is set to unveil its inaugural electric vehicle on Friday during the Monterey Car Week. However, ahead of the official reveal, leaked photos of the concept model have emerged online, providing a comprehensive look at both its exterior and interior design.
The two-door crossover-supercar, dubbed the “Lanzador,” showcases a 2+2 grand touring configuration coupled with SUV design elements and a assertive stance. This design choice remains consistent with Lamborghini’s iconic styling cues and language.
What seems to be an official yet leaked collection of images was distributed by 91mobiles as well as various social media platforms. The Lanzador amalgamates attributes from the Urus SUV and Sant’Agata’s range of supercars, including the off-roadish Huracan Sterrato creating a new high-riding grand tourer segment.

At the front, the aggressive headlights are reminiscent of the 2008 Lamborghini Estoque concept, sitting above the large intakes with integrated DRLs and aerodynamic fins. The slim taillights combine features from the Estoque and the Sian, with the latter being the inspiration behind the semi-exposed tires flanking the diffuser.
Alongside the characteristic sharp surfacing all over the bodywork, the EV stays close to the wedge shape of Lamborghini supercars thanks to its coupe-style roofline and the comparably short front and rear volumes. However, its increased ground clearance, boxy wheel arches, and glossy black elements on the lower bodywork come from the world of SUVs. The same can be said for the Lanzador’s practicality traits, as the 2+2 interior appears to have a generous cargo area, alongside a frunk with a bespoke set of luggage.
The dashboard is quite futuristic with a set of displays for the driver and front passenger, and a central console that wouldn’t look out of place in an alien ship. The complex rotary control is joined by a group of knobs and switches on the flat-bottom steering wheel, and a start button cover similar to a rocket launcher. Below the floating center console, there is a large storage compartment with USB-C ports, and two cupholders.
The four individual seats look rather slim, with tablet-like screens mounted on the seatbacks. Despite their bucket nature, the rear seats fold when extra space is needed, although the roof-mounted rear headrests always remain in place. Finally, Lamborghini designers opted for conventional door opening mechanisms instead of scissor doors which are reserved for the Revuelto supercar flagship.
The Lamborghini Lanzador is likely destined for a limited production run, previewing the technology that will be used in future series production models. More specifically, the automaker has previously said that the “one-off” concepts have now given way to “few-offs” described as “a limited run of cars for the most loyal customers that pre-empt or enhance the most advanced technical solutions that will be used on production cars in later years”. Lamborghini admitted that this formula will be “repeated” at Monterey, with “a prototype of its first 100% electric car”.
Lamborghini’s foray into the zero-emission realm is scheduled for a market debut in 2028, closely followed by the next-generation Urus, which will similarly transition to electric propulsion. The company’s strategic decision to commence with family-oriented models as the pioneers in full electrification is grounded in the belief that this demographic is more receptive to such a transformation. Meanwhile, the rest of the lineup comprising the Revuelto and the upcoming Huracan successor will keep ICE alive as part of their plug-in hybrid powertrains.
