IMO.. ..looks.. perhaps.. a tad too much derivative of ~1/2 century old concept cars..

& if I dare add.. ..kinda-like current GTR Nissan-ish, also..

They went the elegant route instead of the aggresive one, nice :D

JAY, nice video about the Hurricane but, what´s the relevance to the thread? I can´t see much similarity...

Look closer.. ..there are a number of features that appear in common.."none so blind as those who will not see"..

That's got Miura written all over it.

I like it - so much more classy than the recent offerings from Lambo.

Finally a piece of proper art released by Lambo. Cut down on the ruler i can see.

I was more impressed with the parent company's offering
Volkswagen's XL Sport, a new take the XL1 this one uses a Ducati 1199cc V-twin (Superlegerra motor)

To my eye, that VW has style lines oddly similar to this ~40 year old Aussie classic..

Perhaps if you focussed more & rolled eyes less?
Check the A-pillar roof curve lines of the Torana GTR-X, & the similarity to the Lambo..
The Hurricane rear wheel air-scoops & rising curve lines per the rear 3/4s are a bit similar too..
..concept-wise..

From the article:
With a stunning lake and the grand hotel at its back, the only Lamborghini plug-in hybrid ever looked stunning. However, they also used green Miura to make sure everyone had their attention in the right place.

I quite like this Lamborghini. Its not the over agressive look, still looks fast and special.

Good one for a "Green" car ;)

Not bad nearly art but like everything these days a tad on the obese side.
Nowhere close to the original Lambo designs but then neither are Ferrari or any of the others.
Its the same with pit girls.

While normally I would say a lambo should be a bit more wild.... This does look very nice.
