Lamborghini will jointly develop pure electric vehicle battery with MIT

Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini plans to launch the plug-in hybrid version of the UrusSUV in the next year and a half. So when will the company launch a pure electric supercar?

Kilometers) The top speed, and can make the sports car run three full laps along the Nurburgring track.

Lamborghini's R&D department is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a three-year partnership to develop high-performance batteries for pure electric supercars.
