Andrei Avarvarii, a student getting his Master's degree at Milan's Scuola Politecnica di Design, designed this tasty electric Lamborghini concept. With assistance from Lamborghini Design head Filippo Perini, he used a "soft design language" in penning the Minotauro.
The concept would use four electric motors and split the power 30%/70% front to rear. A Li-Tec flat-cell battery out back and a KERS system in the front would be providing the power.
The press release goes on to explain the bonus of no big, bad V12 out back: "The absence of a big V12 engine in the rear creates enough room for a third passenger in a central position." That's right, seating for three.
While the driver's door would be normal, the passenger side's would be bigger to provide access to the back seat.
But the coolest design idea of all? Look no further than those triangular intakes/exhausts. "[They] serve for battery cooling and visually replace the traditional exhausts...[and] also act like the tubes of a subwoofer, channeling the sound of the electric motors, placed behind them."
Then there's the fact that owner's would theoretically be able to upload their own track ghosts to an online community.
If a real racetrack has been / is being covered, the GPS would record car placement / track time, allowing people worldwide to challenge an owner's record.
Good job, Andrei.

i would not buy it and i own a gallardo balboni
I'll tell you one thing, that he sure is having fun with designing this. And to me that whats it all about when you are a design student. He has a lot of elements in this vehicle that I personally like, and yeah it does look like he put a lot of things together from a parts bin but hey its fun. Me being who I am would have it if no one else would have it.

well i own a balboni and i would buy
When you say "Yes, please" you mean "Yes. Please kill it with fire" right?
notice the projected intro date, guys and gals. a lot can happen over the years and this design may even be killed or replicated by other manufacturers. too early to tell. knowing a lot about marketing and pr, my field of work, the automaker is basking in the mere thought that we are thinking lamborghini at this very moment. and the vehicle is slated for 2020. imagine that!
very impressive - love it... The front is most likely a pedestrians nightmare, but very cool design...
this is so bad :s i can't believe some of you guys like it
Nice work for revamping Lambo's design DNA... but to each of his/her own...it is a polarizing design...like or hate it... For me...its neutral...
Actually there are at least 4 different designs shown in the pictures. Some of them with very interesting features, others plain hideous.
And they're all too short
"it is a polarizing design...like or hate it... For me...its neutral..."
That sounds like something Michael Scott would say, thanks for the laugh
Love the front !
hate the rear !
good job anyway...
looks like a child's toy..
fish proportions
i agree with setting it on fire
like WTF?
interesting design, but renders are ugly
...burn it to the ground.It lacks lambo cues,its just like a concept car from peugeot!.It needs a lamboghini soul,the straight line and angular touch.
I like it, good to see future designs from car makers, atleast their thinking ahead.
agree with first
It's ok, but not great.
fabolous.....fabolous I admire those cars
LOL! It's like a lamborghini mini. I like it :)
