Lamborghini Asterion

The Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4, unveiled at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, represents Lamborghini's foray into the world of plug-in hybrids. This concept car is an impressive blend of Lamborghini's iconic design, power, and a nod towards eco-friendliness, a peek into the future of supercar manufacturing.

The Asterion Concept's impressive powerplant was a harmonious blend of conventional and electric propulsion. The hybrid drivetrain was comprised of a 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine — the same used in the Lamborghini Huracan — and three electric motors. The V10 engine alone produced a formidable 610 horsepower, with the electric motors contributing an additional 300 horsepower. This potent combination yielded a total output of 910 horsepower, hence the '910-4' in its nomenclature.

Capable of racing from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in a brisk 3.0 seconds, the Asterion Concept's top speed was a jaw-dropping 320 km/h (198.8 mph) when both the petrol engine and electric motors were engaged. Read more
