At the begining of November Lamborghini ,presented a picture of our idea of hybrid successor to the Huracan. It turned out that we weren’t so much right. The vehicle that Lamborghini was showing is the Terzo Millennio actually. That is the Italian supercar producer’s idea for appearance of possible electric supercar.
Currently, this is the design concept, but really, it is so so good. It’s still has a lot of Lamborghini DNA, but it seems like it is even more crazy than the most weird production vehicles. Obviously, the designers could have wild imagination and ideas, giving the Terzo Millennio a disastrous appearance. If you looked at the Centenario and thought, “Meh, too tame,” then this is the Lamborghini for you.
But the Terzo Millennio is a lot more than just some design study
But the Terzo Millennio is a lot more than just some design study. Lamborghini explores the future of energy storage, materials, propulsion, and design, working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Dinca Research Lab and the mechanical engineering department’s Mechanosynthesis Group. Some of that work has been researching better ways for production of carbon-fiber constructions and there’s maybe even a possibility for finding a way for creation self-healing parts. As it comes to appearance, while the Terzo Millennio look like something a more evil drawing of Darth Vader, Lamborghini says that the style is “totally dedicated to perfecting airflow.”
The most exciting thing about of the Terzo Millennio is the fact that it’s electric vehicle. Each wheel will have its own integrated motor, but instead of getting their power from conventional batteries, Lamborghini sees the future electric of the using lighter supercapacitors. Someday, there is hope for having the ability to produce big amounts of power but also integrate regenerative braking in a way that allows the supercapacitors to continue powering the motors even while being recharged. It also wants to make sure the range isn’t affected by how many times the car has been charged.
Sadly, there don’t appear to be any plans at the moment to ever produce the Terzo Millennio, but it sure is one awesome-looking concept. And if this is what the future of supercars looks like, maybe electrification won’t be so bad.
