The Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4

BC · October 01, 2014, 02:06:59 PM

Although this is infact a leak ahead of the Paris Motor Show, this is exciting news nonetheless. And for those of who you laugh at Lamborghini for being ridiculous. Take a gander, you may be impressed with what you see.

Specs are not official, obviously, but it's a hybrid. Sporting 900 to 910 horsepower (300 of which being electrical). 200+ MPG with the electric motor, much like all of the other larger manufacturer renditions of hybrid-hyper cars. P1, 918, La Ferrari. As Lamborghini kinda skipped on the whole hybrid thing by releasing the Veneno, which sold for a whopping $4.8M, each (3 original). This is good news, and I'm not sure what to expect in terms of surprises. But Lamborghini has been on a roll.

As you can see in the pictures (both renders and leaked magazine photos.) it's no where near as aggressive of styling as Lamborghini usually goes for, even interior wise. And I can see it being a car to appeal to more of the Ferrari types. It will be surprising whether or not it will be Front/Mid/Rear engine, and also if it is truly in fact AWD, even though all Lamborghini Models since the Murcilargo have been AWD.

Let's see what the tag is, but, I'm expecting a hefty one. Not sure if this will be their new flagship. But they are saying its Lamborghini's future

It isn't as aggressive as I like Lamborghinis to be but nonetheless, looks great.

Veneno and Sesto (which I can tell your ganna go), aren't production cars. So they don't count

i like the sesto a bit though

it's one of the sleekest of their cars and they didn't put a bunch of random crap on it

the veneno is just... echk... so much random stuff on it

Does not look like a lambo. Sorry, that feels like something from Ford or something else. Maybe just me.

I'm not really a fan of your typical Lamborghini designs, so this is actually kinda cool to me.

They completely overhauled it, they just kept the Gallardo chassis. The two aren't necessarily comparable

i'm talking about the aesthetics

they have a lot of similar dimensional characteristics

Ah, that's what you mean't. Even still, they are ganna look the same because it's essentially a "super" version of the car, much like the Reventon and Murcilargo.

Not sure but the image is not really something the average person associates with a lambo. Sorry. I remember these being stunt cars in Burnout and it had a ford like symbol. So something american.
