As he put it, it seems that the concept is more of a show piece, a way for Lamborghini to show off their technological prowess regarding hybrid tech and superior craftsmanship.

So Lamborghini refuses to offer a hybrid car, when they don’t really think it’s worth it. But for those that really wanted to see the Asterion come to life, Lamborghini’s CEO said they might just make a single unit for sale, in a similar way to the Egoista, and it will be sporting the 6.5 liter V12 present on the Aventador.
