Lamborghini Diamante

Thomas Granjard's Final year degree project at Coventry University

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 allow the car to adapt itself to the situation, and to get as close as possible to the most aerodynamic shape with its windscreen design ( forming one continuous line with the bonnet ) and its back end ( using movable wings ).
The commercial describes the genesis of the octahedron-shaped crystal in an abstract way: Formation, birth and a travel to different places. This way the original issue of the 3D visualization has been turned into a benefit for the design approach. For today's clientele which is to buy tomorrow's supersportcar.
BRIEF

" Lamborghini is a subtle mix of brutality and finesse "    - Thomas Granjard

Inspired by the lines of an aggressive, powerful, attacking bull ( for the lines of the car ) and by the cut of a Diamond ( for the surfacing of the car ). The concept is "Human Inspired" for the interior, and offers a new extreme interaction system between the center console and the driver/passenger.
The concept developed for the year 2023 ( 60th anniversary of the brand Lamborghini ) uses two Micro Jet turbines ( range of fuels including diesel, bio-fuels, compressed natural gas and liquid petroleum gas ) that produce energy ( through the generator ) for the batteries ( 15 kWh Lithium-ion batteries, 165Kg ) - ( has a range of 900 km or 150 km all electric ).
The car uses 4 individual electric motors ( 45 kg each ) producing 800 BHP and 1600 Nm torque ( independent driven wheels ). It also uses a Kers system ( 120 kW, 165 BHP ), the energy received from breaking is transfered to the batteries. The car produces in total 965 BHP.

Porsche 913

Forgetting the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan, Porsche offer a pretty well-rounded sports car range. Starting with the Boxster and Cayman, and moving up the multitude of variations of the Porsche 911, all the way up to the 918 Spyder supercar. But there is a HUGE price gap between the top of the range 911 Turbo ($250,000 will all the options ticked), to the 918 Spyder ($800,000). Somewhere in that range Porsche could surely offer something to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Something like the 913 possibly? Conceived by the fertile mind of Rene Garcia, a professional 3D modeller who has created conceptual vehicles and highly detailed models for some of the biggest movies of the past decade, including the Matrix Trilogy, Transformers, the latest Star Trekthrillers and The Avengers, the Porsche 913 is an exquisitely rendered design in every detail. It has a bit of the 918 Spyder about it, but there’s also a lot of originality to the design. It looks like a Porsche, but a

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Back in the late 1990s, when Lamborghini were starting to realise they needed a replacement for the ageing Diablo, they started reviewing design proposals from various automotive design firms. Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes. The engine was also up
