Concept cars are more important in every automobile company, concept cars define the company's history and its futuristic models and their projection towards the future helping them build more reliable and cars which are near to be called masterpieces of all time. Lamborghini has produced great cars and shown many masterpieces which predicts how the future cars will be as like making the mid-engine supercar DNA alive by reveling Miura. Let's take a look into the best 10 concept cars ever made by Lamborghini.
Estoque was not the first four-seater model introduced by Lamborghini. In 1967
Geneva Motor Show Lamborghini introduced its two-door four-seater model. Marzal was based on a prototype of a straight-six cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower. The chassis was based on Miura. The doors are of Gullwing type and are entirely made on glass only with the metal on the frame. Marzal never made it to the production.
Cheetah was developed by the collaboration with Lamborghini at Mobility Technology International (MTI) in California. The partnership was made in the middle of the 1970s and both firms worked equal and because of some partnership issues the partnership with Lamborghini was canceled and later Lamborghini developed LM002 based on the Cheetah and its SUV origin tends to continue till now in the form of Urus. With no doubt, LM002 served as a great SUV which was lighter and faster than Hummer which was also produced around the same time in America.
Zagato Raptor was built from four-wheel-drive Diablo. The Zagato Raptor was built by Zagato in collaboration with Lamborghini in 1996. The car comprises of a Diablo's V12 engine producing a maximum power of 500 horsepower and was having no doors in the side. Instead of the traditional way of opening the door, they designed a new way to enter the car by lifting the entire top of the body making it uncomfortable for the drive to enter the car. Like Pregunta, Zagato Raptor also remained a concept and never made to the production.
Concept cars are pretty unexpected in motor shows past, as based on that Lamborghini reviled its one-off a car on 1998 Paris Motor Show and it is none other than the Pregunta. Pregunta was heavily inspired by the Dassault Rafale jet fighter. Like the jet fighter the Pregunta shares two roofs (or so-called two half-roofs) and the jet-inspired cockpit. Under the hood, the Pregunta comes with a V12 capable of pumping 530horses, and the body is built from the Diablo's platform along with the fighter jet-inspired cockpit and similar paint of the Dassault Rafale jet fighter. Unlike the Diablo's all-wheel-drive Pregunta was developed as a rear-wheel-drive car. With all the hype Lamborghini maintained it as one of its concept cars and it never made its way to production.
On the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled the competitor for Porsche Panamera with a four-door, four-seater luxury line model Estoque. The model has Gallardo's 5.2liter V10 engine as the heart and pumps 560 horsepower with the engine mounted on the front based on an all-wheel-drive system. Estoque remained a concept car even it was seemed to become a production model.
Sesto Elemento is a fighter jet-inspired model with extensive use of carbon fiber. The name "Sesto Elemento" means the sixth element in the periodic table that is Carbon, it was revealed by Lamborghini on the 2010
Geneva Motor Show. The road-legal carbon beast is powered by Gallardo's V10 engine and all-wheel-drive system producing 562 horsepower doing 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds. 20 of the models were made and were priced at $2.2million.
Veneno was entirely based on
Aventador and was revealed on the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which shares the same 6.5liter V12 engine pumping 739 horsepower which can reach the top speed of 220mph. Veneno shares the same all-wheel-drive system with a
Le Mans inspired roof scoop for better aerodynamics and better downforce. Veneno is designed with the main upgrade in exterior design with minimum changes in the power and performance of the Aventador and costs $4,500,000. It can do 0-60 mph in 2.8 sec.
Centenario was launched on the 2016
Geneva Motor Show. The car is built based on the Aventador's body and has a massive 6.5-liter v12 engine producing a whopping 759 horses which can hit the 60mph target at 2.8 seconds. Only 40 of the models were made, in which 20 are the roadsters. The model looks gorgeous in blue and black combo available in the 20 masterpieces.
What if you desperately want to drive a lethal machine all alone and feel the beast roaring through your veins, does Lamborghini has a solution for that?
Certainly, Lamborghini said yes to this typical question by unveiling the Lamborghini Egoista on the last day of the Grande Giro tour of 2013. Lamborghini built the Egoista to mark the 50 years of its excellence from 1963. Egoista is designed to look like a mixture of a fighter jet and Lamborghini DNA. It was basically designed by the head of the Volkswagen design group Walter De Silva. Speaking about performance the beast shares the 5.2-liter V10 engine of Gallardo capable of producing up to 600 horsepower(estimated). And the interior is designed heavily based on the fighter jet's cockpit, while the driver can open the top. With all these features Egoista is one hell of a driving machine.
When every car maker started their take in electric vehicles, Lamborghini also took part in and created a remarking Electric Hypercar which is so-called the "Terzo Millennio". Instead of producing a fuel-drinking junkie, Lamborghini decided to produce a hot electric car that has a Health Monitoring system to monitor the car's performance and reducing the risks of accidents to the level Zero. And the car runs by a four-wheel-drive system. It is good that car manufacturers start producing cars of all types, which makes enthusiasts and fans buy the type of vehicle from their favorite brand.
All the above models were officially revealed by Lamborghini in certain time periods, while the following is not officially revealed by Lamborghini itself but still it is created based on Lamborghini, let's take a look at the weirdo !!
Lamborghini Sogna is one of the weird-looking cars of all manufacturers and designers. Sogna was not an official model of Lamborghini while it was designed by Japanese designer Ryoji Yamazaki in 1991 at Geneva Motor Show. Sogna is a modified Lamborghini Countach with 5.2liter V12 producing 455 horsepower with a rear-wheel-drive system. Sogna was never made it to production either by the designer or got into Lamborghini officially, it just remained a tuned concept car and a working prototype was built and shown in the 1994 Essen Motor Show.
