Lamborghini Insecta

The Lamborghini Insecta concept was created by Iulian Bumbu, a Romanian designer who in 2008 completed the Transportation Design Master Course with Alfa Romeo at the Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan.
The Insecta concept, as the name suggests, was partially inspired by the world of insects. In particular the armored casings which protect beetles. Viewed from the top and the rear this organic influence is most apparent. And despite the fact that the common beetle shares little in common with the world of high performance supercars, the inspiration has been successfully translated and integrated into the overall design superbly. The concept manages to be fresh and interesting with angular yet sweeping lines which instantly identify the vehicle as a Lamborghini. The trademark scissor opening doors are an essential Lamborghini feature.
The dimensions of the Insecta concept are similar to that of the Lamborghini Gallardo, with the two sharing an identical overall length of 4300mm (169 inches). However the Insecta is lower and wider than the Gallardo with a slightly longer wheelbase. Powering the Insecta is the same 5.0 litre, V10 engine and drivetrain found in the Gallardo. The glass engine cover which seamlessly blends into the glass roof provides a clear view of the mid-mounted engine.
To help keep the weight down the bodywork of the Lamborghini Insecta is formed from carbon fibre. Some areas are left unpainted like the front air dam, sideskirts and rear valence and show of the bare carbon fibre weave. This feature also provides a nice contrast to the paintwork.
Inside the Lamborghini Insecta concept are a pair of deep bucket seats, a U-shaped sports steering wheel and a high center console which divides the passenger compartment in two.

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.

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....
