His pioneering vision has given continuity to Lamborghini??s DNA, which has made the drive for innovation one of its founding values since 1963. Today, his deep and long experience in the automotive field will support one of the key strategic sectors, where we aim to continually increase our presence as protagonists.  At the same time, we enthusiastically welcome Rouven Mohr back to the Lamborghini family, whose arrival comes at a crucial time of profound transformation for the company, in view of the upcoming electrification of the entire product range.??
