It'll use a shared platform, but still have what VW AG's CEO described as "very specific set-up for Lamborghini."

The Lamborghini EV may have as much as 2000 horsepower, thanks in part to a 980-volt electrical architecture. It will be a "very specific set-up for Lamborghini," VW AG CEO Oliver Blume says.

That’s what Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume said in a recent interview, revealing that the EV will ride on a special platform developed by Porsche for the group’s luxury and performance brands. It will also underpin cars from Audi and Bentley.

The new Lamborghini Temerario has some compelling hybrid technology that its sibling Audi could borrow for a new R8 sports car.

The Audi R8 exited production last year with question marks over its future, but now reports have suggested it'll come back with V8 power.
