In a jaw-dropping announcement that’s sending shockwaves through the auto world, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed what insiders have been whispering for months: a revolutionary clean-energy hypercar is coming — and it’s not just electric.

This isn’t another EV. It’s a category killer. And it might just flip the script on everything Tesla, Lucid, and even Ferrari are working on.

Not Just Electric… But Beyond

According to Winkelmann, Lamborghini’s upcoming flagship vehicle — codenamed “Scorpion-X” — is being designed around a multi-fuel, zero-emission propulsion system that doesn’t rely solely on lithium-ion batteries.

Insiders say the Scorpion-X will feature:

Hydrogen-hybrid propulsion system with ultra-fast refueling

Solid-state battery assist for rapid acceleration bursts

Over 1,200 horsepower and 0–60 mph in under 1.8 seconds

Top speed of over 250 mph

Full recharge/refuel in less than 4 minutes

And yes — it’s still street-legal.

The Tech: Military-Grade Meets Supercar

Lamborghini’s R&D team has reportedly partnered with aerospace and defense contractors to adapt lightweight, heat-resistant materials and next-gen energy cells typically reserved for fighter jets and satellites.

Winkelmann explained: “We’re not chasing the EV trend — we’re creating the next evolution of clean energy performance. This car will end the debate between emotion and emission.”

While Tesla dominates mass-market EVs, Lamborghini is taking dead aim at the elite performance segment, where range, weight, and raw emotional appeal still trump quiet efficiency.

Even Ferrari’s recent Purosangue hybrid may look outdated compared to what Lamborghini’s cooking.

And rumors suggest the Scorpion-X may undercut hyper-EVs like the Rimac Nevera in cost and charge time.

Sustainability Without Sacrifice?

Unlike most EVs, which rely heavily on rare earths and battery mining, Lamborghini claims its new vehicle uses:

95% recyclable materials
non-extractive hydrogen synthesis system
No dependence on Chinese lithium or cobalt

If true, this could make the Scorpion-X the cleanest performance car on Earth — without compromise.

When Can You See It?

Winkelmann confirmed that a working prototype will debut in late 2025, with limited production beginning in Q3 of 2026. Only 799 units will be produced globally, with each car custom-engineered for the buyer.

Prices? Expect a $2M+ starting tag — but don’t be surprised if preorders sell out within hours.

Bottom Line:

Lamborghini isn’t trying to catch up to the EV industry — it’s trying to leap over it.

If the Scorpion-X delivers even half of what’s promised, it could redefine what a clean energy supercar looks — and sounds — like.

One thing is certain: the road just got a lot louder, a lot faster… and a lot cleaner.
