Lamborghini Matador
This styling exercise tries to imagine
what Lamborghini's next flagship supercar might look like.
It's named the Matador and it's the work
of Swiss designer Timon Sager who came up with a front end that reminds us of
the Huracan, along with a roof made entirely out of glass, rearview cameras that replace the side
mirrors and fighter jet-inspired tailpipes, all wrapped in a body that looks
more compact.
Finding out what engineers have in store
for the Aventador's replacement is challenging, but the current supercar could
be the last of its kind, as it's powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12
in a segment that's dominated by turbocharged models.
Since its predecessor, the Murcielago,
was produced for nine years and with the Aventador presented at the 2011 Geneva
show, a replacement for the Huracan's
larger, more powerful and more expensive brother is not due until the end of
the decade, at the very best.
In fact, Sant'Agata Bolognese execs have
placed their focus on a very different model now, a production version of the
Urus. The SUV, which will become the third model in Lamborghini's lineup, is
expected to debut in 2018 and will share its underpinnings with the Bentley
Bentayga and Audi Q7.
