Audi has appointed Rouven Mohr, the current chief technical officer of Automobili Lamborghini, as its new head of Technical Development, the company announced. Mohr will assume the role on March 1, 2026, replacing Geoffrey Bouquot, who has served as Audi’s CTO for the past two years.
The leadership change comes as Audi continues expanding its high-performance and electrified lineup, including the recently revealed 2027 RS5 plug-in hybrid rated at 630 horsepower. Bouquot oversaw key software initiatives and the rollout of several new models across the Volkswagen Group during his tenure. Mohr will remain in his current position at Lamborghini until a successor is named.
Audi’s supervisory board described Mohr as a seasoned technology executive with a focus on long-term value creation for the brand. His appointment keeps the leadership transition within the Volkswagen Group, which oversees both Audi and Lamborghini.
Mohr brings extensive performance vehicle development experience to the role. During his time at Lamborghini, he served as head of development for models including the Aventador, Huracán, and Urus. He later returned to Audi, where he previously worked in research and development on vehicles such as the A3, TT, Q7, and Q8, before being appointed Lamborghini CTO in 2022.
In his most recent tenure at Lamborghini, Mohr helped guide the brand’s shift toward electrification, overseeing hybrid models including the Revuelto, Temerario, and Urus SE. His background spans both traditional high-performance engineering and hybrid technology integration.
Audi officials said Mohr’s history with the company and experience at Lamborghini position him to lead the next phase of technical development. Specific future product plans under his leadership have not been announced.
Mohr’s transition is scheduled for early 2026, and he will formally step into the Audi role while Lamborghini prepares to appoint his replacement.
