Lamborghini Asterion Concept

[Nessy]

I'd be surprised if it's a four door. The greenhouse looks a bit too small for that.. unless it uses up some of that rear pillar. Could be wrong though.

 

[ND4SPD]

Part of me wants to say it's going to be a big front engined GT car to compete with the likes of the Bentley Continentals and Ferrari F12's.

The pic is very blur and a little hard to see the lines on the car and it's white it blends in with the page but the some what match the lines from the rendering.....

 

[McLaren]

It looks big in the leaked pics, like a mix of Urus & Huracan.

Wonder if the 350/400GT is just an extra piece of info or if has some significance since it turns 50 this year.

 

[McLaren]

Built on the Aventador frame with hybrid motors driving the front wheels & producing 900Hp. However, no immediate plans for production. Known as the Asterion, which was the name of the first Minotaur, possibly fitted due to the hybrid nature of it & the creature.

Too me, the proportions look rather small in those pics, i'm quite surprised it's based on the Aventador frame, but it looks as if it would make quite a comfy GT.
I like the link with the name, very apt.

 

[Keef]

The proportions are wonky as hell in that render. It's either a tiny car or it's fricking enormous with a tiny little greenhouse.

 

[VXR]

It looks bloomin' awful.

 

[JMoney]

The roof reminds me of a GT-R.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

...I like it

...I like it

Seconded. It looks like a bigger Aventador Fastback crazy thing.

Lotus Evora brought to you by Lamborghini

Straightened it up a bit:

I assume this will just be another Lambo concept that will never make production?

 

[Cano]

O_o well that looks a damn lot like a Lotus!

 

[E28]

I'm not sure... It seems like the belt line is way too high and as a result it looks almost like a crossover coupe thing...

 

[TheCracker]

Reminds me of a high-end GT-R

 

[Robin]

That picture makes it looks slightly like an Alpha 4C with a bodykit.

 

[JMoney]

So does it have back seats AND a mid-engine? It doesn't look like there's enough room for both.

If that is the actually car then it doesn't look like it will have a back seat. But looks like it's mid-engined.

 

[JMoney]

I'm starting to think that's not it. Look how the doors are shaped, why would they go all the way out to the front wheels? And the mirrors look very plain to be from a Lamborghini. The rear just looks like a copy-paste of the Huracan, which makes no sense if the car has an Aventador platform and V10 engine from the Huracan.

Yeah, I'm saying it's fake.

Imo, it looks like a gull-wing door that instead of opening vertically, it is opening obliquely.

 

[McLaren]

Claims it's fake when there's a whole magazine article on it....

I assume this will just be another Lambo concept that will never make production?

It's leading that way. What the car, however, will supposedly showcase is a mid-engine V10 that sends power to the rear wheels & 2 electric motors to drive the front. An Italian magazine claims the front wheels have an "autonomy" of 20-30km & can produce 0 emissions for around 10km. They report a rumor that talks again about 900Hp, but with CO2 emissions under 100g/km.

Whilst the car will likely remain a concept, the under pinning is what they believe will make it to production in the Urus. From this picture below, the car pays a homage to the old GTs with round shapes as bases.

 

[RocZX]

Just cause they are in a article about the car can still make them renderings.

[McLaren]

The magazine attributes the design of the car to Filippo Perini & that he was looking to match the older models in this design with the round shapes in this ca...I mean, rendering.

Pretty ballsy to make such a claim if the car doesn't look like this.

Dammit you beat me to it.

According to Jalopnik, its a 910 hp hyrbid.
