Lamborghini used
Monterey Car Week to unveil the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster and Huracán EVO GT
Celebration, but it appears the company is saving something special for
Frankfurt. In a tweet, the automaker teased a mysterious new model which
features a double bubble roof and angular LED daytime running lights that mimic
those used on the 2017 Terzo Millennio concept.
Speaking of the latter, the resemblance to the Terzo Millennio is striking as both cars have a low ride height, a similar roof design and nearly vertical front fenders. However, we know the cars are different as the inner LED lights on the Terzo Millennio were flat while the ones on this model angle downwards.

Lamborghini is
staying tight-lipped about the car, but hinted “Something new is waiting for
you. Open your eyes to the future and you’ll see it.” While the company is
playing coy, previous reports have suggested the model could a limited edition
hypercar that draws inspiration from the Terzo Millennio.
Little is known about
the model, but it’s reportedly codenamed the LB48H and will feature a
hybridized powertrain with a V12 engine. That remains unconfirmed, but rumors
have suggested the Aventador successor could be offered with a plug-in hybrid
powertrain that combines a naturally aspirated V12 engine with up to three
electric motors. This could potentially enable the car to produce around 1,000
hp.
Getting back to the
hypercar, it’s rumored to cost around US$ 2.5 (£ 2 / € 2.2) million. It was
reportedly shown to prospective buyers last year and could already be sold out.
