Default Eco-freindly Lambos in the future?

I’ve been thinking of something on & off for sometime now. We’ve already seen that Koenigsegg have just made a bio-fuel car (CCXR) & I’ve heard BMW are considering to produce HFC (Hydrogen Fuel Cell) cars. And with the world chest-beating about global warming, I cant help but wonder under the supervision of Audi, will Lambo follow suite?

Personally if/when this happens I’m all up for Lambo going more eco-focused. As it stands Fuel Cells are rather costly to make & are not that potent, but I’m sure in the coming years they will become more cost-efficient & producing more HP. Which is much needed for a lambo! After all a Lambo that is eco-friendly but lacks in HP will have lost a part of what makes the marquee attractive. It would also boost reliability & durability to far superior levels than that of the internal combustion engine.

From an aesthetic & seating capacity standpoint HFC based cars give the designer far more freedom in style & space because the designers don’t have to work around such a massive engine. And if you’ve seen some of the concept cars based on this type of engine you will know what I mean. Thus, bringing about more radical designs for future lambos.

So anyway, do you think that we might see a HFC/bio-fuel or some type of hybrid supercar from Lambo in the coming years or next decade?
