Stephan Winkelmann will replace Stefano Domenicali as CEO of Lamborghini from 1 December, destined to become the new head of Formula 1, the most important role in the Circus. Today the handover will be made official, for Winkelmann it is a return to the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand, one of the twelve brands of the Volkswagen Group, which he had already driven from 2005 to 2016, before moving on to Audi and Bugatti. A replacement in line with the recent statements by the CEO of the German giant, Herbert Diess, who the other day expressed himself as follows: We are working on our Italian legal structure, namely Lamborghini, Ducati and Italdesign. It could mean the acceleration of a spin-off process, the spin-off would lead to listing on the stock exchange. Diess also specified that to manage the car in the best possible way we need our own operating system, we do not intend to entrust the brain of a car to anyone, we want to have management properties, this will be our challenge for the next 10 years. The investment envisages 73 billion for electrification, autonomous driving and the digitization of ranges, approximately 50% of the 150 billion planned for the next five years. A program that will lead to the simplification of our range. An offensive that is launched especially against Tesla, the American brand that gives me several headaches, so much so that it has already foreseen the development of an Audi flagship, 100% electric, for now called Landjet, creating the Artemis division, specifically dedicated, antagonist of the future
Tesla Model S.
