Lamborghini Doubled Its Awards in 2021 — Here's Why That Matters
Four fundamentally different models earned recognition across three continents.
Lamborghini claimed double the number of international awards compared to the prior two years, with recognition spanning the Urus Super SUV, the Huracán STO, the Huracán EVO RWD, and the Sián FKP 37.
The Urus conquers German reader polls
The Urus collected three German awards alone, including a second consecutive Best Car win from Auto Motor und Sport readers and recognition from OFF ROAD magazine for Luxury SUVs.
The V10 range sweeps both sides of the spectrum
France's Motorsport Magazine singled out the Huracán STO's naturally aspirated V10 as Best Engine 2021, a distinction that carries real weight in a market increasingly dominated by turbocharged alternatives.
The Sián's step toward electrification
The Sián FKP 37 represented Lamborghini's first serious step toward electrification, pairing a 6.5-liter V12 with a 48-volt electric motor and a supercapacitor instead of traditional lithium-ion batteries.
Diversification validated
Lamborghini's decision to diversify beyond two-seat mid-engine cars produced a lineup where every model competes credibly in its own segment, silencing the skepticism that greeted the Urus at launch.
Breadth no rival matched
Winning Best Large SUV from German readers and Electric Car of the Year from a British motoring journalist in the same calendar year tells you something concrete about where Lamborghini sits relative to Ferrari, Porsche, and McLaren.
Loyalty, not just novelty
Repeat wins in reader-voted polls suggest the Urus built genuine loyalty among owners who drove it through real winters and real commutes, not just collectors drawn to a new nameplate.
Two personalities, one V10 platform
Lamborghini positioned the Huracán family to cover both the weekend track-day enthusiast and the grand-touring buyer who wants a naturally aspirated V10 without a roll cage.
Chris Harris's cheeky but prescient pick
Top Gear magazine awarded the Sián FKP 37 Electric Car of the Year at its Electric Awards, a choice made by journalist Chris Harris that was part punchline and part genuine acknowledgment of Lamborghini's hybrid ambition.
The achievement that actually matters
The Sián's recognition earned Lamborghini's hybrid future external credibility well before the first plug-in V12 Revuelto rolled off the line in Sant'Agata Bolognese, proving that doubling the trophy count across four fundamentally different vehicles is the achievement that actually matters.
