LET’S face it, the main reasons we are annoyed cars are going electric is because of the small range and charging problems.

If Ford can make an electric car that goes 500 miles and charges in ten minutes, no one is going to be scratching their head and saying they miss that 1-litre EcoBoost they used to drive in 2017.

The Tecnica is superb but that only makes the issue of electrification trickier for Lambo

So when you think about it, there’s only a small number of brands who have everything to lose by electrification.

Those who trade on the spectacular noise of their engines.

I’m talking Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin and, in the case of the 911, Porsche.

Let’s consider Lambo, seeing as though there’s one in the corner of your eye right now.

Take a screaming V10 or V12 out of a Lambo and you’re going to kill a third of its appeal.

A Lambo will always have cartoonish looks no matter what powers it. That’s one-third.

We all know electrons can make super sports cars go even faster. That’s two.

But what electrification can’t do is replace the sound, feeling or vibration of a high-performance engine nestled behind your lugholes. Which is the third and tastiest slice of the pie.
