/ / Lamborghini Has No Plans For Turbo Engines Anytime Soon

 

Latest from Lamborghini :



Unlike its rivals Ferrari and McLaren, Lamborghini says it won't be bolting turbochargers to its supercar engines anytime soon. The upcoming super-crossover 2017 Lamborghini Urus, however, could be a different story. Lamborghini expects China to be the biggest market for the Urus, where tax laws favor smaller-displacement turbocharged engines, but the Aventador, Huracán and their replacements will soldier on with normally aspirated V-10s and V-12s.

"Naturally aspirated engines are still the best engines which are on the market for super sports cars, in terms of acceleration, in terms of sound," Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann recently told Autoblog at the opening of the company's new plant in Sant'Agata. "And unless there is [something] better, we are going to keep them."

"We are constantly looking for alternatives," Winkelmann continued. "We are constantly seeing what we can do to make them better, and there will maybe a day when we are introducing turbos, when the turbos are equalizing or being better than naturally aspirated engines."
