Lamborghini Asterion

The world will never be the same again; Lamborghini has just showed us the Asterion LPI 910-4. For those of you familiar with Lambo’s naming culture, you know that the name is taken from a fighting bull. The Asterion is from greek mythology: hybrid between a half bull half man. So far so good. The LP stands for longitudinal posterior or mid mounted engine. 910 for the number of horses under the hood and 4 for the four-wheel-drive.

So what’s the 'I' (ibrido) doing in between all of that you might wonder? Well, Lambo has finally bitten the forbidden apple and joined the ‘I’ brigade. In plain simple English, this bull concept is a plug-in hybrid motors mated to the Huracan’s V10 heart. The worst news of all? The Lambo can quietly go around town for 50km on pure electric propulsion.

So has the raging bull been tamed by the green brigade? I am relived to answer that question with a big ‘No’.

Though the bull has been domesticated, it still has 890bhp when all four motor in play. So yes, it has learned a few eco manners but it can still wreak havoc at a drop of the throttle.

The Asterion does a 0-100kph in 3 seconds flat, and an electronically controlled speed of 320kph. If it’s any consolation for purist, the Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 is still a concept and for now the company has no plans to build it.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

Lamborghini Diamante

Thomas Granjard's Final year degree project at Coventry University Lamborghini Diamante University project (not developed with Lamborghini) Trailer We're in the year 2023. Oil is getting depleted on our planet. However, mobility will continue to exist, it needs to. Such mobility not only includes boring electric vehicles for the city but also supersportcars with alternative drive systems. Flat, fast, extreme – cars that still set everyone in the mood for mobility without having a bad conscience – such as the eco-friendly Diamante Concept Car. This concept combines exclusivity and extremes in one single supersportcar. The name says it all. The most valuable mineral in the world stands for luxury, but also for naturalness, pureness, hardness and beauty – exactly as the dream car with the white collar. Its extremely flat silhouette is flanked by sharply outlined edges, the curved surface appears to be unpolished, rough, precious. The aerodynamic system uses movable wings to ...

Ferrari FF

A new chapter in Ferrari’s rich history begins with this, the FF. The designation is simply shorthand for ‘Ferrari Four’, and not only is it a two-door 'shooting brake' estate, but for the first time ever a Ferrari has four-wheel drive capability. This new Ferrari FF sounds intriguing. Does it have conventional 4wd system? No. Instead the FF has a two-speed ‘box (plus reverse) mounted ahead of the engine that takes its drive directly from the crank. The ‘box drives the front wheels via wet clutches that can adjust the torque going to each front wheel independently (essentially by varying degrees of slip). No transfer diff, no connection to the rear wheels. The advantages are light weight, fast response time and, crucially, the ability to pre-empt wheelspin and start to help the rear tyres before they go beyond the limit of grip and traction. And in perfect conditions the FF should remain completely rear-driven to retain that agility so central to the mode...
