Lamborghini
Burlero Concept Supercar
The
Lamborghini Burlero is a supercar concept created by the Armenian designer
Tigran Lalayan, a graduate of the Masters Transportation and Car Design course
at the Scuola Politecnica di Design in Italy. The Lamborghini Burlero concept
was designed during his time at the university and developed in collaboration
with Lamborghini.
The
Lamborghini Burlero concept is designed to be a track-focused vehicle,
lightweight and simple in its construction. Tigran’s goal for the styling was
to create a Lamborghini sports car with what he calls a “slightly softer”
appearance. It looks good, but with all those pointy bits, it can hardly be
described as soft.
Like
almost all Lamborghinis, the Burlero is named after a bull. In this case
Burlero refers to a famous fighting bull of the same name who killed the
Matador Jose Cubero in the summer of 1985.
Being
a track car, complete with tow ring and slick tires, the Lamborghini Burlero
concept has no bad weather protection or roof. Only a thin wraparound
windscreen protects the occupants from the wind, rain and any unfortunate bugs.
The
proposed power source for the Lamborghini Burlero concept is a 100-percent
electric drivetrain. Cleverly the concept features what at first looks like a
central exhaust, however on closer inspection it’s actually a third brake
light.
While
the Lamborghini Burlero concept is not an official design. It would be great to
see a more entry-level Lamborghini with some real track fun potential on offer.
The electric drivetrain would probably deter some die-hard fans, but as it’s
just a concept it’s easy enough to imagine how much fun it would be with a
regular engine screaming away inches behind the cockpit.
