The Only Fully Hybridized Supercar Maker, and It Wants Eastern Europe to Know
Lamborghini claims to be the only super sports car brand to offer a fully hybridized lineup. The Revuelto, Temerario, and Urus SE make up Lamborghini’s fully hybridized lineup, and the brand used the opening of its second Polish showroom, in Katowice, to underscore that point. CEO Stephan Winkelmann and Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Federico Foschini were both on hand for the inauguration, a level of executive attendance that signals how seriously Sant’Agata Bolognese takes this market.
Why does this matter to enthusiasts tracking the broader supercar landscape? Reports suggest Ferrari is pursuing full EVs, a strategy that contrasts sharply with Lamborghini’s current approach. Winkelmann, for his part, has publicly stated his belief that it is currently the “wrong time for a full EV.” Sources indicate the upcoming Lanzador will launch as a plug-in hybrid rather than the full EV. The message from Lamborghini’s leadership is clear: electrification serves performance, not the other way around, and the Direzione Cor Tauri strategy is the framework guiding that philosophy.
For prospective buyers, this commitment to hybridization across the board means a more consistent ownership ecosystem. Parts commonality, software integration, and dealer training all benefit when the entire range shares a fundamental powertrain architecture. Whether you are configuring a Revuelto or an Urus SE, the service infrastructure at a facility like Katowice is built around the same core technology.
Katowice: Lamborghini’s Gateway to Silesia and a Growing Eastern European Market
Lamborghini says it has maintained a presence in Poland for over 12 years, and the Katowice facility marks its second showroom in the country. Built from the ground up and operated by La Squadra, a regional luxury and collector car specialist, the location sits in what La Squadra founder Jakub Pietrzak calls Poland’s answer to Emilia-Romagna’s “Supercar Valley,” a region with a concentrated community of high-net-worth automotive collectors.
The facility goes beyond a typical sales floor. A dedicated Ad Personam area allows buyers to spec their cars through Lamborghini’s customization program, choosing from an extensive palette of colors, materials, and finishes. The showroom also provides access to Lamborghini Selezione certified pre-owned vehicles and full aftersales support, including maintenance, original spare parts, and accessories. For buyers in southern Poland, this eliminates the need to travel to Warsaw or cross borders for service, a practical consideration that matters more than most press releases acknowledge.
Lamborghini states it delivered 10,747 cars globally in 2025, a new milestone. According to one source, the brand delivered 10,687 vehicles in 2024, so the trajectory is upward. One report indicates Lamborghini achieved record sales in the first half of 2025, despite a slight decline in operating profit. Expanding the dealer network into economically vibrant regions like Silesia is a logical step for a company pushing volume records while maintaining exclusivity. The brand now operates through 186 dealers in 56 countries, employing approximately 3,000 people.
The Temerario’s 10,000 RPM V8: Why This Number Matters
Among the cars on display in Katowice, a Temerario in Verde Gea drew particular attention. Lamborghini states the car’s all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain can reach 10,000 rpm, a figure that deserves more scrutiny than most outlets give it.
A 10,000 rpm redline in a turbocharged production V8 is, to put it plainly, extraordinary. Turbocharging typically discourages sky-high rev ceilings because exhaust gas energy management becomes increasingly complex as engine speed climbs. The fact that Lamborghini engineered a flat-plane crank (implied by the architecture) twin-turbo unit to spin this high suggests a deliberate effort to preserve the kind of top-end drama that naturally aspirated engines deliver. For anyone who worried that the end of naturally aspirated engines would mean the end of Lamborghini’s emotional engine character, this is the engineering rebuttal.
The Temerario utilizes that V8 alongside three electric motors, generating over 900 CV in total. The shift from atmospheric to forced-induction hybrid is seismic, but the 10,000 rpm figure is Sant’Agata’s way of saying the soul survived the transplant.
Revuelto, Urus SE, and the Competitive Landscape
The Revuelto, displayed in Viola Pasifae at the Katowice event, features a powertrain that integrates a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors and a lithium-ion battery, producing a combined 1,015 CV. It features an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, a first for a Lamborghini V12. Car and Driver gave the Revuelto a 9.5/10 rating, and one automotive publication lists the 2026 model’s MSRP at $608,358.
One Reddit owner who logged roughly 9,000 miles described the dual-clutch transmission as a “massive, palpable improvement” over previous gearboxes, making day-to-day driving dramatically more livable. The same owner noted the infotainment system is “awful” and laggy, a candid assessment that prospective buyers should factor into their expectations. On track, the car is capable but carries noticeable weight in high-speed corners. As a daily-usable V12 Lamborghini, though, owners seem to agree it represents a genuine leap forward.
The Urus SE, shown in Blu Astraeus, rounds out the lineup with its own 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor and a 25.9 kWh battery. Combined output reaches 800 CV and 950 Nm of torque, with over 60 km of electric driving range. That EV range is a practical detail worth highlighting: it means quiet departures from residential neighborhoods and zero-emission urban errands, realities that matter to the kind of buyer who actually lives with these cars rather than garaging them permanently. Thirteen driving modes, a centrally mounted torque splitter, and an electronically controlled rear differential give the Urus SE impressive capability and reinforce its position as a benchmark in the Super SUV segment.
Fenomeno, Super Trofeo, and the Bespoke Ownership Layer
Two models at the Katowice opening spoke to the extremes of Lamborghini’s current ambitions. The Fenomeno, initially unveiled at Monterey Car Week in 2025, is limited to just 29 units allocated to selected clients. Its presence at a showroom inauguration rather than a concours lawn or private reveal says something about how Lamborghini views this facility: not merely as a retail space, but as a venue worthy of its rarest products.
Alongside it sat the Temerario Super Trofeo in Verde Mercurius with Nero Noctis livery, representing the latest evolution of Lamborghini’s one-make racing program. Displaying a dedicated race car at a dealership opening is an unusual move, and it reinforces the connection between Lamborghini’s motorsport pipeline and its road car development. For buyers in the region interested in the Super Trofeo series, having a local point of contact through La Squadra could lower the barrier to entry for customer racing programs.
The Ad Personam studio visible in the showroom, with its walls of paint swatches and wheel designs, represents where many Lamborghini buyers spend the most emotionally invested hours of their purchase journey. Configuring a Lamborghini is a process that can stretch for months, and having a physical space to evaluate materials under controlled lighting, rather than relying solely on a digital configurator, remains a meaningful differentiator in an era when many luxury purchases happen on screens. The opening event also featured an artistic contribution by Polish artist NeSpoon, blending street, folk, and contemporary art with Lamborghini’s design language.
What This Means for Lamborghini’s Global Footprint
Lamborghini’s push into Eastern Europe follows a pattern of showroom openings across the region in recent years. Poland, with its growing base of high-net-worth individuals and an established collector car culture in Silesia, fits the profile of a market where the brand can grow without diluting its exclusivity. The fact that Winkelmann personally attended the Katowice opening, rather than delegating to a regional director, reflects the strategic weight the company places on these expansion moves.
Founded in 1963 in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Lamborghini now operates in 56 countries. The company states its production site has been carbon-neutral for over a decade, a claim that adds context to the Direzione Cor Tauri strategy’s emphasis on reducing emissions across the value chain. Whether that environmental positioning resonates with the Silesian buyer demographic remains to be seen, but the performance credentials of the hybrid lineup speak for themselves.
For anyone on a Revuelto or Temerario waiting list in Poland, the practical takeaway is straightforward: local service, local customization support, and a certified pre-owned pipeline that previously required a longer journey. In the supercar world, proximity to a competent dealer can be the difference between a car that gets driven and one that sits.
