On that note, here are the electrified models offered by these European marques. 

Lamborghini 

Lamborghini Revuelto 

The Lamborghini Revuelto is a hybrid sports car that offers the best of both internal combustion engines and electric motors. 

Under the bonnet is a brand-new 12-cylinder internal combustion engine with three high-density electric motors and a groundbreaking transversal dual clutch e-gearbox. The said setup makes approximately 1,001 horsepower (hp), which generates a top speed of over 350 kilometers per hour (kph) for a zero to 100 kph acceleration speed of 2.5 seconds. 

According to Lamborghini, the Revuelto is able to provide the person behind the wheel 13 different driving experiences from four categories, namely Città (fully electric, also all-wheel drive on demand), Strada (for comfort and smoothness), Sport (for reactiveness and fun-to-drive), and Corsa (thrilling, high-end performance). 

Lamborghini Urus SE 

As for the Lamborghini Urus SE, the sporty sport utility vehicle (SUV) packs a twin-turbo 4.0 V8 that has been re-engineered to work in perfect synergy with the electric motor. 

Lamborghini’s first hybrid vehicle makes around 789 hp to provide the five-seater with a top speed of 312 kph and a zero to 100 kph acceleration speed of 3.4 seconds. 

One notable feature of its PHEV powertrain is its ability to reduce emissions by 80 percent, offering impressive performance — without the guilt.
