Turns out, [Ferrari won't be the only](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/26528/a-hybrid-v-8-ferrari-supercar-is-coming-this-year-report>) Italian supercar maker to go hybrid this year. Archrival Lamborghini is set to reveal its first production hybrid model—a limited-run V12 hybrid hypercar, no less—at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show in September, as reported by Australia's [*Motoring*](<https://www.motoring.com.au/first-hybrid-lamborghini-just-months-away-117022/>).

Codenamed LB48H, the car will be made in the same vein as Lambo's previous special V12s such as the Reventon and Centenario and will serve as a preview to the company's Aventador successor. Styling-wise, expect it to resemble 2017's MIT-co-developed [Terzo Millennio electric concept car](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/15826/lamborghini-unveils-electric-terzo-millennio-concept>). Its front wheels will be hooked up to an electric motor while the rear axle will be powered by Lambo's traditional 6.5-liter V12.

"So we had the Reventon, the Veneno, and the Centenario, and now we have this car, \[the LB48H\]," said Lamborghini Chief Commercial Officer Federico Foschini. "This is the technical name but we're not yet revealing the final name. This car is really a huge product for Lamborghini."

It'll apparently be limited to just 63 units to coincide with the year Lamborghini was conceived, 1963. In true limited-run exotic car fashion, all of them are already sold and have been since last July.

*Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, *Lamborghini**

As for the "regular" series production Lamborghini that this car will supposedly precursor, [previous reports have pegged](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/25611/next-gen-lamborghini-aventador-will-get-first-ever-hybrid-v-12-in-2020-report>) the Aventador's successor to drop sometime in 2020. Foschini says the estimate might be a tad early. "Maybe it will be a little bit later, because of the success of the current Aventador is still so huge that we don't need to change. For example, [the SVJ](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/23746/2019-lamborghini-aventador-svj-first-drive-review-driving-the-nurburgrings-new-supercar-king>) has been pre-sold just in the first three to four weeks."

In addition to the LB48H, Foschini says we can expect a "surprise" to be revealed at this year's Frankfurt show. *Motoring* predicts this to be a plug-in hybrid version of the Urus SUV.
