Very recently, the CEO of Lamborghini has formally denied that there are plans to build a hybrid car. They intend to improve fuel efficiency by making lighter cars.
Quote:
Winkelmann told a small group of automotive media including CarAdvice at the 2012 Paris Motor Show that “there is no plug-in hybrid planned for the either the Lamborghini Gallardo or Aventador”.

“Due to the size of the cars and due to the weight of the hybridisation it would be impossible for our cars to adopt this current technology,” Winkelmann said.

“Firstly, it won’t fit, and secondly, it would reduce the their power-to-weight ratios by too much.”
