Lamborghini’s Asterion concept is reportedly no closer to production, as the Italian carmaker instead gears up for the Urus SUV.
That’s the word out of Europe, with Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann saying a 2018 debut for the Urus was preferable to a joint Asterion and Urus program that would see the latter model delayed.
Winkelmann was previously noted as saying the Asterion would only be built if a cashed-up customer ordered it as a one-off, and even then it wouldn’t be powered by the 679kW petrol-electric hybrid setup that featured at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
This week, the Lamborghini CEO maintained his stance that the carmaker was not one to embrace plug-in hybrid technology - at least not yet.
