Codenamed LB48H, a new hybrid supercar is in the pipeline from Lamborghini according to The Supercar Blog. Citing unnamed sources, the motoring publication reports that “a prototype was showcased at a private event in Italy a few weeks ago.”

The Raging Bull of Sant’Agata Bolognese is expected to showcase the mystery model “in New York and Tokyo in the coming weeks,” but don’t take these words for granted. After all, there’s no leaked photo or official information in this regard.

Described as “a precursor to the Aventador replacement,” the LB48H is said to rely on hybridization to make the most out of the internal combustion engine. The Supercar Blog doesn’t offer any detail at all in regard to displacement, number of cylinders, or system output, so we’re left with our imagination for the time being.

The publication calls attention to research & development boss Maurizio Reggiani, who “had hinted at a one-off hypercar back in September 2017.” More to the point, the publication refers to an interview with CarAdvice through which Reggiani expressed that “a new version of what we call a one-off” will soon be revealed.

Expected to borrow exterior design elements from the Terzo Millenio concept (pictured) revealed in November 2017, the limited-edition supercar is believed to spawn 63 examples of the breed. “Production will start by end-2018 and deliveries are expected in the latter half of 2019,” with pricing to start in the ballpark of $2.5 million.

This so-called one-off would succeed the Centenario and Veneno, and as far as the hybrid part is concerned, don’t forget the Asterion LPI910-4 from a few years back. Porsche’s collaboration with Rimac could also trickle down to Lamborghini considering they’re both controlled by the Volkswagen Group, or is that wishful thinking?

Whatever the future holds, you can bet your two cents on something truly special from the Italian supercar automaker. Lamborghini never did disappoint its fans and customers in the modern era, right?
