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.

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 ...

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers. Yet regardless of identical displacement and analogous induction technology, Maserati serves its Ghibli clients with significantly greater quantities of horsepower and torque. In addition to t...

Lamborghini Estoque

The Lamborghini Estoque (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtoke]) is a concept car built by Lamborghini. Unlike current production Lamborghini cars, which are mid-engine two-seat sports cars, the Estoque is a four-door sedan. The Estoque was introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Estoque is the first front-engine vehicle by Lamborghini since the LM002 utility vehicle. It is described as a "concept for a $230,000 four-door sedan". It currently houses a 5.2 litre V10 engine, although there has been speculation that this could be replaced by a V12, V8, or possibly even a hybrid or turbo-diesel engine, as suggested by Lamborghini's Brand Director, Manfred Fitzgerald. As with other Lamborghinis, the Estoque derives its name from the sport and tradition of bullfighting: An estoque is a type of sword traditionally used by matadors. Speculation regarding production It was reported on 22 March 2009 that production plans for the Lamborghini Estoque were cancelled. Lamborghini ex...
