Even before Volkswagen purchased Lamborghini in 1998, the automaker had experimented with using all-wheel drive systems in its vehicles to help improve traction as their engines became more powerful. Using a modified version of the Lamborghini LM002 SUVs four-wheel drive system with a viscous centre differential, the 1993 Diablo VT could propel from 0-62 miles per hour in just 4 seconds.

All-wheel drive has become synonymous with Lamborghini’s lineup
Thanks to the impressive boost in performance that all-wheel drive systems gave to Lamborghini, in addition to Volkswagen’s ownership allowing them access to all-wheel drive expertise from Audi and Porsche, every Lamborghini model these days can be equipped with all-wheel drive from the factory.

At the turn of the 21st century, if you told the world that by 2025, Lamborghini’s lineup would include a plug-in hybrid, an SUV, and an off-road focused V10 sports coupe, you’d have probably ended up in a straight jacket.

The Revuelto offers 1,001 horsepower on tap thanks to its combination of a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 and three electric motors. The Urus Performante uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 to pump out an astonishing 657 horsepower, meaning its an SUV that’s still a true Lamborghini in every sense. The Huracán Sterrato employs a naturally-aspirated 5.2L V10 to produce 602 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque, making for an incredibly balanced power band in a supercar with all-terrain tires.
