Future Reventon roadster ??

Lamborghini Reventon roadster

It’s not too hard to imagine the rumored Lamborghini Reventon roadster, just chop the little roof section and voilà la. But if the people at Global Motors are going to take the time to make a rendering, then we’re happy to revisit the idea of a 670 hp, €1,200,000 (about $1.6 million) roadster.

Lamborghini has already confirmed that the Sesto Elemento will indeed be headed to the production line, albeit in a very limited run. With such a minute number being produced, anyone would be hard-pressed to get know when Lamborghini is even actively selling it, let alone be able to grab hold of one of those units.

With the Elemento having an overall curb weight of just 2,202 lbs and a massive V10 power unit feeding a permanent all-wheel drive system, this car is sure to impress on the track. Output is 570hp giving the lightweight bull a power to weight ratio of 1.75 kilograms per horsepower. What that statistic really comes down to is the car being able to accelerate from a standstill through 60mph in 2.5 seconds.

The V10 offers 5,204 cm3 of displacement, delivering a specific output of 80.5 kW (109.6 hp) per liter of displacement. The engine utilizes an aluminum crankcase including dry sump lubrication and a cylinder angle of 90 degrees. Both solutions are an integral part of the lightweight engineering approach, as well as serving to lower the center of gravity and thus tighten the handling characteristics. Ideal combustion chamber fill comes courtesy of a switch-over induction system and continually variable, chain-driven camshafts.

The main component of the new Sesto Elemento is carbon fiber and more specifically carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Lamborghini has been able to successfully develop a process that takes the material from 3D design through simulation, validation, testing, and finally into production. Its collaboration with the Boeing company is perhaps one of the most important to the development of this vehicle. The two companies have been able to develop the CFRP design much further than ever before thanks to their ACRC (Advanced Composite Research Center). Two of the most unique parts designed for the exterior are the wheels made entirely out of carbon fiber and the exhaust system which is made out of a material called Pyrosic. This is a glass ceramic composite that can withstand high heat.

2012 Lamborghini LM00X is the future crossover will look like one of sports cars, just a bit higher. Even the whole thing looks like a Gallardo that was raised up and made a bit taller. Lamborghini plans to throw it into the Dakar Rally battle.

The Lamborghini LM00X SUV will have a three-door coupe architecture, with supercar-like styling and a lot of carbon fiber. This will be necessary to keep the weight of the car to a minimum. 2012 Lamborghini LM00X is new version of Lamborghini truck LM002.

The original Lamborghini LM00X was a monstrous machine with a V12 and enough power to pull out stumps. Yet, this new 2012 Lamborghini LM00X version will take things down a notch, but not very far. 2012 Lamborghini LM00X will use a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 from the Audi A7 and we imagine that the power output will be around 550 horses and hit 62 mph in less than four seconds. The Lamborghini LM00X SUV will have a 4×4 traction system.

The Lamborghini LM00X SUV price will be in the 100,000 GBP range and it’s expected to hit the market by 2012.

2012 Lamborghini Murciélago

2012 Murciélago replacement during winter testing near the Arctic Circle. (Lambo tradition dictates that this car is likely to get a new name, rather than carry on the Murciélago moniker.) While the details of the car’s actual look remain unknown, what are clear are the perfect mid-engine proportions, angular lines, and reduced detailing. As with Lamborghini’s current cars, this supercar should provide a welcome diversion from the cluttered, busy, and pseudo-retro lines of many competitors.

The same goes for much of the technology. Details are sketchy, but we expect the new supercar to utilize a number of structural components from the Gallardo and its corporate cousin, the Audi R8. There will hopefully still be a six-speed manual—there is nothing like an open-gate shifter on a Lamborghini—in addition to an automated manual, the latter possibly a dual-clutch unit. The Murciélago's V-12 engine is also going to fall by the wayside. Its roots go back to the early 1960s; compliance with future emissions standards would require such a Herculean effort so as not to be worth it. So this next top-of-the-line Lambo will in all likelihood be powered by a V-12 version of the V-10 currently offered in the Gallardo, and more power than the current car’s 632 hp is almost a certainty. And while the new car still will remain seriously hard-core, some will take comfort in the fact that stability control will finally become available.

Murciélago accounts for perhaps 10 percent of the brand's total sales. But the big, bad 12-cylinder supercar is—and will be—where one finds the true soul of the brand. Some things never change.

The Lamborghini Toro LA690-4 is a conceptual study penned by independent designer Amadou Ndiaye. Envisioned as a modern interpretation of the 1960′s Lamborghini Espada, the Toro LA690-4 is a front-engined Raging Bull supercar created to compete against other exotics of the same sort like the Aston Martin One 77 and the Lexus LFA.

The designer states that the car’s LA 690-4 designation stands for “Longitudinale anteriore” which translates to “Front Longitudinal” in English, while “690″ refers to the V12 engine’s fictional output and ’4′ to the car’s all-wheel drive system.
Aside from the front-mid mounted V12 engine coupled to a 7 speed double clutch transmission, Ndiaye says that the chassis, body panels and other parts of the car should be made from carbon fiber and magnesium to save weight.

To our eye, while the execution looks professional, the design itself is less aspiring and unique as the first thought that came to mind is a Lamborghini-ized LFA speckled with repackaged styling cues from the Italian firm’s current production and concept models.

At this very same Frankfurt show two years ago, Lamborghini unveiled the Reventon — the Raging Bull’s stunning, range-topping super model. With all 20 copies of the Reventon gone and the Murcielego nearing the end of its long lifespan, Sant A’gata Bolognese has one more trick behind the curtain in the form of the Reventon Roadster.

In all, the Reventon Roadster is essentially a Reventon with a removable roof. It’s powered by the same 6.5L V-12, though it now makes 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque and can hit 62 mph in just 3.4 secs and a top speed of 205 mph, but this time with the wind in your hair. A dry-sump oiling system keeps the engine lubricated and mounted as low as possible for optimal weight distribution, which, at 42/58 front/rear is optimal, according to Lamborghini. Lamborghini’s E-Gear single-clutch six-speed automated manual transmission sends power to all four wheels and, when the rear wheels are just spinning, can send up to 35% of the power to the front.

The war of the supercars is on. This is a picture of the new Lamborghini supercar that will come after the Murcielago, which is the first mule. Is this Lamborghini’s Enzo Rival Ultra-Car Spotted

With Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin and Mercedes AMG all working on new supercars, there is no reason for Lamborghini to rest and therefore the testing has begun. Hidden under this, especially in the front, wider Murcielago body is the new future Lamborghini supercar. This new Lambo, maybe dubbed to Jota, will according to rumors switch to an aluminum space frame instead of the current steel tub frame.

Engine will probably be a 6.0 liter V12 with direct injection delivering about 700 horsepower to all of the four wheels. There might be a super version later on with just rear wheel drive as well.Body will take some influence from the Reventon, and most body parts will be made of carbon fiber. Roof and doors will probably be made from aluminum.

Playing a quick game of automotive-animal word association, you'd probably link Lamborghini to a bull. Between the emblem on the hood, supercars named after famous fighting bulls and the farming roots of the company, the association is well established. Iulian Bumbu thinks otherwise. The aspiring Romanian car designer, who interned at Alfa Romeo's styling department after earning his master's in car design in Milan, created the design study you see here.Called the Insecta, the radical concept's design elements were borrowed from bugs instead of bovines.

Combining organic shapes with Lamborghini's trademark geometric angles, the Insecta concept integrates themes culled from the body armour observed on certain species of insects. With its dimensions and powertrain borrowed from the Gallardo, the Insecta would pack a sting as sharp as its buzz, and it could make a compelling successor to the current LP560-4 – but Lambo would have to drop a load of bull first.

The Sesto Elemento features a lightweight carbon-fiber structure with the entire front frame, exterior panels, and crash boxes also made of CFRP. The major suspension components and the rims are also made from carbon fiber and the tailpipes are made from Pyrosic, which is an advanced glass-ceramic matrix composite. Carbon fiber is also present in the interior on the floor and roof of the monocoque, on the doors, and on the cockpit and center console.

With its amazing output of 570 hp, sensational power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per hp and 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration of only 2.5 seconds, the Sesto Elemento guarantees unparalleled driving fun. At the same time, fuel consumption also drops because of the extreme lightweight engineering applied throughout.

“The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento shows how the future of the super sports car can look – extreme lightweight engineering, combined with extreme performance results in extreme driving fun. We put all of our technological competence into one stunning form to create the Sesto Elemento,” comments Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “It is our abilities in carbon-fiber technology that have facilitated such a forward-thinking concept, and we of course also benefit from the undisputed lightweight expertise of AUDI AG. Systematic lightweight engineering is crucial for future super sports cars: for the most dynamic performance, as well as for low emissions. We will apply this technological advantage right across our model range. Every future Lamborghini will be touched by the spirit of the Sesto Elemento.”

The minimalist approach has also been applied to the interior, starting with the seats. Lamborghini has dispensed completely with the conventional seat frame. In fact, the whole internal structure is obtained and defined directly from the Forged Composite tub, that on one side plays a functional role and on the other side is the base for the optimally formed seat cushions, upholstered in hi-tech fabric, which are affixed directly to the carbon-fiber monocoque. 

The correct ergonomics are provided by the steering wheel, which can be adjusted for height and reach, and by the pedals, which can be electrically adjusted longitudinally. Of course, the designers of Lamborghini Centro Stile also dispensed with interior trim in the classic sense. The dominant visual feature throughout is the functional CFRP material – on the floor and roof of the monocoque, on the doors and also on the cockpit and center console. Even the electronic control unit for the engine is mounted in plain sight – a very special kind of hi-tech aesthetic. The triangular cut-out is also evident as a design feature – wherever material can be removed in the interest of weight reduction.

Lamborghini has released images of its Embolado Concept. Penned by Luca Serafini — an Italian design student — the Embolado was inspired by the Spanish festival, Toro Embolado. “The choice of the name was the first step towards the creation of this concept,” says Serafini. The festival of Toro Embolado involves putting flammable material on a bull’s horns, lighting them on fire and then releasing the bull into the streets, which sounds more akin to the Lamborghinis of yesteryear.

While there has been no official word as to whether the Embolado will make production — Lamborghini has yet to even announce at which auto show it will debut the concept — the car could indicate the future styling for an entry-level Lamborghini. Giving further credence to the design exercise is the fact that Serafini has also designed a Superleggera version.

The Diablo VT was introduced in 1993. Although the VT differed from the standard Diablo in a number of ways, by far the most notable change was the addition of all wheel drive, which made use of a viscous center differential. This provided the new nomenclature for the car (VT stands for viscous traction). The new drivetrain could direct up to 25% of the torque to the front wheels to aid traction during rear wheel slip, thus significantly improving the handling characteristics of the car.

Other improvements debuting on the VT included front air intakes below the driving lamps to improve brake cooling, larger intakes in the rear arches, a more ergonomic interior with a revised dashboard, electronically adjustable dampers, four-piston brake calipers, power steering, and minor engine refinements. Many of these improvements, save the four-wheel drive system, soon transferred to the base Diablo, making the cars visually nearly identical.
