Lamborghini has announced plans to release “four new products over the next 12 months”, which will include a facelifted Urus SUV and a V12-powered special based on the Aventador. like the reborn Countach, the new supercar will be built in limited numbers to “celebrate the combustion engine”, before a new hybrid V12 flagship is launched next year.

We’ve already identified the updated Urus testing at the Nurburgring, sporting a new look and potentially a lot more power. A hybrid version is also in the works, although this will launch next year. Lamborghini will probably utilise the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid powertrain from the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, which supplies 671bhp and 900Nm of torque.

It’s unclear whether the new V12 model will be another homage to a historic Lamborghini, as with the new Countach, or a clean sheet design like the Sian hypercar. Either way, it will probably use running gear from the Sian – itself based on the Aventador – with a hybrid-assisted V12 sending a lot more than 800bhp to all four wheels through a 7-speed single-clutch automatic gearbox.
The new automobile will also borrow its carbon fibre monocoque from the Aventador, as well as its cabin architecture. It’s unclear how lots of units Lamborghini will build, but for reference, the new Countach was limited to 112 cars. The new automobile is expected to cost around £2 million.
