But utilized properly? I had a lot more faith in the place when the leadership had been experienced design professionals instead of academic administrators.
Oh I never said they were using it wisely. Just that they were using it, or actually already used it, past tense.

I am struggling with the wheel arches being so hard geometric. Understand the concept of incorporating the hardness as a foil to softness. Ratio of too little of upper to lower is a continuing problem on this as well as most. A design trend that needs to stop.
The interior is horrible. The exterior is ok, although makes me think of an Acura for some reason. All the best, Andrew.
Corvette should make a limited edition, souped up version of the C8 and call it the LM. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ah, Jim 'there is no replacement for displacement' Lytle; he was clearly not an adherent of ACB Chapman. My favorite was Quad Al. The Fiat Topo bodywork was a particualarly droll touch - Image Unavailable, Please Login
Makes me think of a Lucid crossed with a muscle car like a Camaro or Mustang. Neat! All the best, Andrew.

Didn't BMW around 1999 or so have a vehicle that had electric shocks? I could see air ducts in that case.
Well, I certainly didn't see this coming.

Lamborghini teases its first all-electric car Lamborghini posted a teaser on its social media, getting fans excited for the first all-electric vehicle from the brand. Although Lamborghini didn’t specify the model, the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based luxury sports car maker announced it would introduce its first 100% electric car at Monterey Car Week, which kicked off last Friday. Lamborghini has been hesitant to produce an electric car thus far, citing performance. Meanwhile, competitors have plowed ahead, introducing several all-electric hypercars like the 1,914 hp Rimac Nevera that can go 0 to 100 km/h (approximately 0-62 mph) in 1.74 seconds. In comparison, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster achieves 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The sports car brand says electrification is becoming “increasingly concrete and tangible” after selling out of its last purely gas-powered cars in July.

Despite the hesitance toward EVs, Winkelmann told Auto Express, “Full EV can be even more emotional than an internal combustion-engined car.” The brand’s design boss Mitja Borkert says the new EV “will take 1,000% of the design DNA of Lamborghini.” It will be unique from the three other models, including the Aventador, Huracan, and Urus, all due for electrified upgrades.

The brand aims to release the electric model in 2028, perfectly aligning with the 60th anniversary of the Lamborghini Espada, its famed 2+2 grand tourer (GT). Lamborghini has tossed around the idea of a four-seat sedan with the Estoque concept released in 2008, which is expected to provide inspiration for the first purely electric model.
Front and rear end design treatment is outstanding. IMHO, the side is the weakest design element and will hopefully get cleaned up a bit before final release.
thats the Estoque concept car in the images. Im sure the new car will have elements of it, but thats yet to be seen. Personally i think Lambo has a greater understanding of its customer base than Ferrari does.

And the designers all agreed, small wheels are going to be the next 'big thing' Image Unavailable, Please Login
