Lamborghini unveiled its first-ever plug-in hybrid vehicle today at the Paris Auto Show.
The 910-horsepower Asterion LPI 910-4 concept houses a 5.2L V10 engine and three electric motors along with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in three seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h. All-electric range is 50 km.
"Lamborghini is always looking ahead, investing in new technologies and setting new benchmarks, delivering the unexpected," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
Featuring a full carbon fibre unibody structure, the Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 is finished in Elektra Blue. Styling is classic Lamborghini, although some elements mark a definite contrast with the rest of the lineup.
For example, the powerful rear end stands out for its shape and remarkable taillights, including a grid covering two radiators, and a clear separation between body colour and black parts. The transparent engine cover, linking to the hybrid technology beneath, is comprised of three hexagonal glasses that turn according to the driving mode: pure electric, hybrid power, or pure thermal engine power.
Internally, the two seats are positioned higher than those in Lamborghini super sports cars, ensuring comfortable everyday cruising. Extensive Bianco Celaeno (ivory) and Marrone Attis (brown) leather immediately confirm the luxurious driving experience of the Asterion. Aluminum, forged carbon fibre, and titanium are also visible in the iconic three-spoke steering wheel design drawn from the Miura.
