It’s becoming increasingly difficult to press on with internal combustion engines, especially if you’re an exotic carmaker. Shouldering the inefficiencies of a century-old technology with constant pestering in the name of pollution and particulate filters is a bit overwhelming.

Ferrari succumbed to the pressure, inviting twin-turbo V8s and half-electric V6s to its non-flagship stable. Lamborghini, on the other hand, showed more resilience. While the brand had to use a twin-turbo V8 for the Urus SUV, the Huracan and Aventador remained naturally aspirated, despite facing intense regulatory scrutiny.

But as you may know, the Aventador is discontinued, with a replacement on its way. The baby Lambo a.k.a, the Huracan has a bit more life in it, says Lamborghini. New reports suggest that the Huracan replacement will arrive in 2024, and no—it’s not going turbo. The NA V10 will live on, albeit in a symbiotic relationship with electricity. Or, in other words, a plug-in hybrid. Top brass at Lamborghini says the Huracan successor will be closely related to the upcoming Aventador replacement.

Before we discuss this in detail, we’ve managed to draw up a render of what the next-gen hybridized V10 could look like. As an exclusive for Hotcars, digital artist Rostislav Prokop derived the looks by basing it on existing Lambo one-offs and special editions and taking inspiration from spy shots of the upcoming V12 flagship.
