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.

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...
