THE LAMBORGHINI INSECTA
A reader sent me these pics and I thought it was just a screen shot from some sick fantasy dream they were having.
But no, this is a genuine concept car. Cover one eye before you look at these shots – it might be too much to handle:
Taste it
Feel it
Hold it
Believe it
This, from Luxuo:
Iulian Bumbu, a Romanian car designer, created this study of a 2-seater mid-engined Lamborghini Insecta Concept.
“The idea was to create an extreme race-oriented supercar with a style that introduces softer and more organic lines and integrate them into the geometrical style of Lamborghini” said Iulian Bumbu.
Lamborghini Insecta Concept features the brand’s styling cues with inspirations that came from insect exoskeletons, particularly in bugs.
Iulian Bumbu used carbon-fiber for the body structure and panels. The powertrain is the same adopted on the Gallardo.
“I tried to apply this tipe of organic movements and translate them into Lamborghini’s style so that when you see the car, you can immediately recognize it as a Lambo” explained the designer.
The car has got a length of 4,300 mm, as the Gallardo model, a height of 1,000 mm and a width of 2,000 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm.
Pretty sick. In particular, I’m so stoked they are using the “powertrain” from the Gallardo.
Try landing that in the Hudson.
