Lamborghini Ankonian concept is designed by Slavche Tanevsky at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. The mid-engined supercar concept has a aggressive design with narrow and rather complex-looking body and a pinch of GT proportions.

According to the designer, the Ankonian takes the design of the Reventon to the next level, even though the concept itself manages a unique expression … and is downsized to account for a more environment-friendly status, though it does not include any hybrid or similar technologies. – via automotto

 The Lamborghini Gallardo surprised us in a number of ways, but mostly in terms of its refinement and quality.The Gallardo is a bit intimidating initially, due to its radical styling, its dimensions, the sound of its highly tuned Italian V10, and advanced features such as its available E-gear electronic gearbox.

The Lamborghini Gallardo is lust on wheels — combining hot, look-at-me styling with mind-numbing performance capabilities.

Gallardo comes in coupe and roadster versions, plus a lighter, more powerful Superleggera model.

Lamborghini bored the Gallardo’s V-10 to 5.2 liters (from 5.0) and blessed it with direct injection, bumping output to 552 horsepower (up 40) and 398 pound-feet of torque (up 22).

We think the Lamborghini Gallardo was a very special sports car as it was, easy to drive, dramatic to look at, an all-around sexy beast.

But with the advent of the Superleggera version, the Gallardo becomes even more exciting and more special.Only about 350 of these cars will be available worldwide, making them instant collector’s items.

The Lamborghini Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box) six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled ’semi-automatic, which Lamborghini abbreviates to “E-gear”.

The Lamborghini Gallardo delivers 560 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 398 ft-lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm via a 5.2-liter V10 engine. The Gallardo is capable of hitting 62 mph in an amazing 3.7 seconds.

Structural aluminium spaceframe, based on aluminium extruded parts welded to aluminium casted joint elements.

Aluminium is much lighter than sheet steel and this is why the Gallardo LP560-4 is produced with a body in a much lighter.

Optional light-weight carbon ceramic brakes offer superior durability and reduce brake fade, where the brakes become less effective due to overheating in extremely demanding conditions such as racing. An available clear glass engine cover allows the owner to display the engine.

Although it’s probably difficult for most people to think of a nearly $200,000 automobile as “affordable,” that’s the position the Lamborghini Gallardo finds itself in within the Lambo product lineup.

In a similar vein you wouldn’t use a racehorse to hack out, and you wouldn’t use a pearl-handled butter knife to pick a lock. So it’s faintly ridiculous to suppose a supercar can co-exist in the real world alongside young men from Kazakhstan in Nissan Laurels and even younger men from Albania on pizza-delivery mopeds.

A five-litre V10 with around 520bhp and 376lb ft of torque mean that the Gallardo has the go to match the show; 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds and a close enough 197mph top speed. Even better is the fact that these figures are achievable reliably thanks to that four-wheel drive system and strong mechanicals.

Lamborghini’s market ambitions dictated an ambitious car. This is a durable and lovable long-term sports car, backed by a three-year warranty. It is also a $165,900 object of not inconsiderable lust, one whose allure no photograph can properly depict. Yet the car on these pages makes one thing clear: After years in the wilderness, Lamborghini is back.

Lamborghini Reventon is a mid-engined sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

Lamborghini Reventon’s engine was a slightly tuned version of the Murciélago LP640’s 6.5 L V-12, rated at 640 hp (480 kW).

According to official release, the Lamborghini Reventon accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the same time as the Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds), and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of over 340 km/h (210 mph).

Lamborghini Reventon features an all new carbon fiber exterior. All Lamborghini have the same exterior color, described as “mid opaque grey without the usual shine.”

Lamborghini has also picked up some of parent company Audi’s design language. Lamborghini is the first Lamborghini to incorporate daylight running lights into the headlamps.

The instrument panel in the Lamborghini Reventon comprises three TFT liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with two different display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminium block, protected by a carbon fiber casing.
