Lamborghini’s supercar abortion in concepts

We all know that the Reventon was Lamborghini’s star at the Frankfurt Auto Show. However, a faster super with a more aggressive design should overshadow the Reventon, unfortunately it will not be able to destine into production.

Although the supercar would not come out, we still have the preview to satisfy your desire.

It was named after the founder of Automobili Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini. It is based on the drivetrain of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 which is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 producing 640 horsepower and 660Nm of torque.

The Lamborghini Ferruccio uses early Lamborghini models for design inspiration but with a modern twist. The “eyelash” headlight clusters are a contemporary interpretation of the units found on the Lamborghini Miura, while the fixed rear elevated haunches are similar to those on the Countach, these also help to channel air into the engine bay. The “recessed’ fan intakes on the bonnet are also reminiscent of the Lamborghini Jota of 1971, unique design cues are the swooshing, sweeping concave and convex lines running across the sides of the Lamborghini Ferruccio’s body.

Ferruccio Concept was supposed to be built in only 10 unit: 5 coupe and 5 spiders, however when the concept was ready for the company it only had 3 orders for the supercar, none of which paid! The price was supposed to be around 1.5 million euro, as a result the company is now working on a new version, and lowered the production cost.
