Lamborghini Granador – a new concept in car designs
The concept
If you want super speed with extravagance luxury, then Lamborghini cars are for you. Lamborghini cars are famous all over the world for their uncompromisingly unique style and beauty and the design of the new Lamborghini Granador doesn’t defy those rules either. It is designed as a super sportscar, which combines both the brand values and their essential lines. The project of Lamborghini Granador is a collaborative creation of Mohammed Hossein Amini Yekta and Lamborghini. It was actually designed during his Masters Program’s first semester of academic year 2011-12 at Milan based Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD).
The design, inspiration
The main feature of the design of the Granador is displayed in the division created between lower and the upper sections. This division is highlighted through a straight sloppy line underlining this stylishly pointy wedge-shaped silhouette. This same line can also be seen like a symmetry axis with the contours of the side windows being mirrored onto the air intake of the lower part. This distinctive feature clearly reflects some of the designs of the Bertone Stratos Zero Concept of 1970. The upper body has been designed as transparent see-through body, which is distinctly defined, by the clean surfaces, crystalline volumes and sharp edges. According to the designer, this concept was designed with an aim to bring together the various design elements along with the touch of both general sportiness and luxurious soul.
The feasibility
The overall design of Granador is more focused on keeping it elegant rather than sporty. However, with the unique design of hidden taillights installed behind the blades delivers the entire car an aggressive look with an uncompromising soul. Maintaining their reputation of producing cars of huge impact and elite designs, this Granador stands up to their design criteria and has been predicted to become as famous as other members of the luxurious Lamborghini family. The Lamborghini Granador, due to its unique design, might get Lamborghini’s attention. However, there are little, if not bleak, chances of it seeing the light of the day ever.

Lamborghini introduces another topless bull in Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster
Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 coupe is, undoubtedly, a huge success and people loved the sleek bull from Italian automaker. Lamborghini has sold more than 1300 Aventador coupes so far and it seems that Italian automaker is prompted by its immense popularity to create a roadster version of the same. It will, as Lamborghini expects, get a strong welcome from the Lamborghini fans.
The roof of the Aventador LP700-4 is a two peace affair created using nothing but carbon fiber that makes it weigh merely 13 pounds. Though the roof is to be removed by hand, but the conversion from coupe to convertible takes a few minutes following an easy process. The pieces of the roof can be easily stored in the front luggage compartment. Also, the topless version comes with powered rear window and front mounted wind deflector that can also be removed and stored in the front compartment, thus allowing the driver choose the ride as per the external elements.
Everything else is almost identical to its fixed roof sibling. Powering the convertible version is the same 6.5-liter V12 engine that develops a massive 700 hp. Engine is connected to seven-speed single-clutch paddleshift gearbox that enables it to get from 0-62mph in just three seconds with its top speed at 217mph. To provide that unmatchable sports car performance, the convertible version’s gearbox is combined with posh rod suspension while there is also an instant stop and start as well as cylinder deactivation system.
Some considerable changes to the coupe version can be witnessed in the form of a different hood design that not only provides a better cooling to the engine but also drain off rainwater. The convertible bull will be sold globally with its European pricing at 300,000 euro (which equals to USD 381,000 at current exchange rate) excluding taxes and miscellaneous charges.

Lamborghini plans one-off edition to celebrate 50th anniversary
Lamborghini which was founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini will be 50 years old in 2013. What better way to celebrate the occasion than with a special car. However, as per the Lamborghini CEO, Stephan Winkelmann the special car won’t be a revival or retro model but one-off.
Lamborghini, which is now the part of Volkswagen Group, will hold Grande Giro Lamborghini in May 11th next year wherein it will ask the Lambo owners from world over to ship their cars to Milan wherefrom the convoy of the cars will go screaming through Tuscany, Rome, Bologna and finally to the Lamborghini factory at Sant’Agata Bolognese.
There is no word as to what Lamborghini is planning or on specifications either and all Autonews was told is that it will be a new car altogether with one-off design. However, we remember that Lamborghini released the special edition of Countach to celebrate the 25th anniversary, Diablo’s special edition for 30th anniversary and a special edition Murcielago for the 40th anniversary. So the current speculations include everything from a production version of Sesto Elemento concept to special edition Aventador as the Italian brand isn’t expected to reveal the Gallardo-successor until 2014.
The speculations are too many but the details of the real thing will not be confirmed until the official word comes or the car is revealed on 11th May 2013. Keep reading Autochunk and we will keep you posted with the latest developments on the same.

Robert Guelpen Gold Lamborghini Aventador Model LP700-4 boosts to a whopping € 10.5 million
One-off and a real unique 1/8 scaled masterpiece of Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 from the German designer and model specialist Robert Guelpen surfaced on the web in December last year. The scaled model Lamborghini Aventador which is embedded with more than 1,400 diamonds; platinum and pure gold was rated at a whopping € 3.5 million at an auction in NY in the same month.
However, the scaled model comes in the news yet again as Sotheby´s, one of the most popular auctioneers, has re-evaluated the cost of the model to a staggering € 10.5 million (USD 13,660,500 at current exchange rate) which amounts to 65 times higher than the price of the real deal. The material used in the making was estimated at € 2.5 million which would increase the target margin of profit from € 500,000 to a whopping € 8.0 million.
Apart from its stunning price tag, the 1/8 scaled model of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 will make inroads to the Guinness Book of World Records for holding three records at a time: for being most expensive model car, the world’s most secure showcase and the world’s most luxurious logo.

Matte galaxy paint morphs Lamborghini Aventador into a galactic supercar
Those of you sports car lovers, Lamborghini in particular, who want to see them in different shades know that pink doesn’t jell well with a roaring bull from Italy. But that surely isn’t a rule in automotive world as some geeks never miss an opportunity to defy purists to bend it at every opportunity. One of the results is this Lamborghini Aventador wrapped in unusual paint with a splash of pink crystals.
Well, seeing an Italian bull (read Lamborghini) blushing in pink or in this case matte galaxy paint is a rare site. Nothing is unexpected though. However, such a paint job makes it fit to be parked at Paris Hilton or Katie Price’s garage and those who love rough looks with more muscles might feel little nervous to drive one down the lane but they shouldn’t forget it’s still a Lamborghini nonetheless.

Lamborghini to reveal its fastest supercar ever at Geneva
As the 2013 Geneva Motor Show is almost a month away, yet the news about vehicles to be unveiled has started popping up. If the news comes about a new bull from Lamborghini, it will surely get your attention. What if it is supposed to be the fastest Lamborghini to date? You will surely like to know more about this new development, provided you are an ardent Lambo Fan.
To the delight of many fans, an Australian auto publication, CarAdvice, reports that Lamborghini is coming to the upcoming Geneva Motor show with its fastest model till date. These details are slipped to the publication by brand’s design director, Filippo Perini, at the Global Dynamic Launch of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster.
Filippo Perini also confirmed that less than 10 cars will be made, and most of them are already sold. While being asked why Lamborghini is doing this, Filippo was quoted as saying that ‘we want to shock the world with this new car’. The other logical reason is Lamborghini wants to celebrate its 50th anniversary with something special.
We have no idea as to how the supercar will look or what specification will it carry as Filippo Perini didn’t reveal any tech spec as such. However, the last outrageous car from Italian supercar maker was Aventador J which was, undoubtedly, a super slick Aventador with no roof or windscreen either. We guess something similar, design wise if not powetrain, can mesmerize the show-goers at Geneva this year.

Toyota MR2 based Lamborghini Murcielago LP64 replica costs $65,000 in China
It was just a while ago we introduced you with some of the most amazing DIY cars ever created. Here is another one coming out from China, but this one takes the replica cars to a next level as the car is manufactured and is made available for those who want to drive one.
Chinese have a great love for Italian bulls and they often come up with replica cars. It is due to mainly two facts. One, Lamborghini is one of the most expensive cars in the world and everyone cannot afford it. Secondly, the original models sold in China tend to break down too often due to the reasons unknown.
So, here we have another Lamborghini replica, this time it’s Murcielago LP64. Normally, a Lamborghini Murcielago LP64 comes with a hefty price tag of well over $400,000. However, in China you can buy its alter ego for merely $65,000.
The best DIY Lambo from China ever, the replica car is a modified Toyota MR2. The level of craftsmanship on this Chinese version of Lamborghini is amazing and it’s made in a workshop that has bookings open with an initial deposit of 210,000 Yuan. The possible buyers have to wait for more than five months to drive one home.
Coming to the technical specifications of this counterfeit Lamborghini, it can feature a 2.2-liter Toyota 5s or a 2.0 t 3S engine that will generate 175 hp and reaches 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds with its top speed at 200 km/h. The vehicle comes with many state of the art features that include power window, power wings, GPS navigation and backup camera. Adding more to the interior looks are real leather seats and leather interior. To the delight of the interested buyers, interiors of the car can also be designed as per customer needs.
On the other, if customer is looking for some original parts of the car, it costs extra like original rims cost 50,000 extra, new style of taillights costs 10,000 extra, and customer has to pay additional 9,000 Yuan for original key. The replica car is almost close to the real deal, but woefully it can’t be registered or driven on official roads.
