Lamborghini Dumps Its First EV, Bets on Hybrid Power

Lamborghini is scrapping its Lanzador all-electric supercar and shifting to plug-in hybrids, after CEO Stephan Winkelmann said demand for EVs among its customers is almost zero and investing in full EVs would be an “expensive hobby.” By 2030 the brand plans all models to be PHEVs while maintaining internal combustion engines for now, and will continue electrification efforts but only when customer demand justifies it. Never say never on EVs, but the current market isn’t ready for a pure electric Lambo.

Mercedes S-Class facelift boosts power, hybrids and steering dynamics

Mercedes’ 2026 S-Class facelift is a major mid‑cycle refresh with about 2,700 new or updated parts. It introduces redesigned powertrains: the M256 Evo inline‑six gains torque and overboost, and the M177 Evo flat‑plane V8 in the S580 makes 530 hp. A plug‑in hybrid S580e combines the six with an electric motor for more output and over 62 miles of WLTP range. All gasoline engines get a 17‑kW mild‑hybrid system and a 48‑V setup; diesels switch to the OM 656 Evo. Rear‑wheel steering becomes standard at 4.5 degrees (10 degrees optional), and the air suspension is refined with cloud‑based damping data. The S‑Class debuts January 29, with the Maybach variant arriving later.
