Lamborghini Teases Something “Truly Thrilling” For August 18 Debut

Lamborghini has a teaser photo for a vehicle debuting on August 18. The text of the Instagram post promises: “Something new and truly thrilling is about to be unveiled.​”

The Italian automaker previously announced it was debuting an electric vehicle concept sometime during Monterey Car Week. August 18 falls into this timeframe, so the evidence points to this being our first look at the EV.

 

The teaser image provides a good look at the vehicle’s silhouette and beltline. The lines are smooth from what we can discern. However, the greenhouse has sharper points at the front and rear. These factors might hint at the EV concept mixing the brand’s familiar angular styling elements with the softer shapes that we commonly see on electric vehicles for improving the drag coefficient.

Lamborghini described this concept as the “first prototype of our fourth series production car” in the previous announcement.

In July 2023, Lamborghini confirmed that its first EV would be a 2+2 grand tourer. Company CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the vehicle would be “much more daily usable” than the Huracan replacement or new Revuelto. It’s also not an SUV.

This new teaser doesn’t provide enough detail to identify the vehicle’s proportions. We can’t tell whether this concept would be big enough to have rear seats like the planned production version.

Mechanical specifics aren’t available for the Lamborghini EV. Winkelmann confirms it shares components with other Volkswagen Group vehicles. There’s precedent for this for the automaker. For example, the Urus shares a platform with products like the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, and Porsche Cayenne.

Lamborghini hasn’t sold a 2+2 grand tourer for decades. There was the 400 GT 2+2, Islero, Urraco, and the Espada, which lasted until the late 1970s.

More EVs are on the horizon for Lamborghini. The company plans for the second-gen Urus to be available solely with an electric powertrain. Expect to see it in 2029.

Gordon Murray Automotive Supercars To Make their U.S. Debut At Monterey Car Week

Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) will make a significant entry into the U.S. automotive market by showcasing two supercars at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in California on August 18. The highly anticipated open-top T.33 Spider and the track-only T.50s Niki Lauda will be unveiled for the first time in the United States, marking a milestone for GMA in terms of their vision and expertise.

The T.33 Spider is designed with the utmost driving perfection in mind, utilizing Ultralight carbon monocoque technology. Weighing just 2,443 lbs and equipped with a powerful 3.9L Cosworth GMA.2 V12 engine, the T.33 Spider offers an exhilarating driving experience with exceptional performance characteristics. It also prioritizes usability, offering ample luggage space and the option of both right and left-hand drive.

Alongside the T.33 Spider, the first production T.50 supercar and the exclusive T.50s Niki Lauda will also make their presence felt at The Quail. The T.50 aims to redefine driver-centric supercar engineering with advanced aerodynamics and an impressive 670PS Cosworth GMA V12 engine. The T.50s, priced at $3.9 million, is a ground-up redesign featuring a bespoke transmission and extensive aerodynamic enhancements to generate astounding downforce. Additionally, during Monterey Car Week, Gordon Murray’s Heritage division will showcase the iconic Brabham BT44B Formula One car at Laguna Seca, highlighting Murray’s illustrious motorsports achievements and legacy.

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Vs. Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is here, debuting at the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah. The new LC, known internally as the 250-Series, borrows some of its hard bits from the Lexus GX and Toyota Tacoma, but with a starting price in the mid-$50,000 range, it’ll go toe to toe with the likes of the Land Rover Defender 110, Jeep Wrangler, and Ford Bronco. So how does it stack up against that excellent competitive set?

We’re pitting the 250-Series up against the base-model Land Rover Defender S 110, a nicely equipped Ford Bronco Badlands four-door, and a Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe four-door, all of which can be had for about the same price as the Land Cruiser’s estimated $55k base. As is usually the case, the Land Cruiser is better in some specifications and worse in others. And of course, we’ll have to wait and see how the 250-Series performs in the real world before we can truly name a winner in this newly revitalized off-road SUV segment. But one thing’s for sure, the Bronco, Wrangler, and Defender have some new competition.

The rally truck variant of the Triton features a 2.4-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine that produces 201 horsepower (150 kilowatts) and 347 pound-feet (470 Newton-meters) of torque. To deal with river crossings during the rally, the vehicle is equipped with a snorkel that allows the engine to breathe. Power is transmitted to Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system via a six-speed manual transmission, and both axles incorporate limited-slip differentials.

Watch Lamborghini Executives Take The Huracán Sterrato Off-Road

Introducing the Urus super SUV to showcase its off-road capabilities, Lamborghini has continued to push the boundaries of Italian supercars with the creation of the Huracán Sterrato as its adventurous counterpart. Currently, all 1,499 sold-out chassis of the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato are in production and awaiting delivery to new owners. In their newest YouTube episode of Off-Road Talk #01, Lamborghini Director of Communications Tim Bravo and Head of Design Mitja Borkert take the wheel of two rally-ready Huracán Sterratos to discuss the advantages of reimagining the V10 supercar as an off-road beast in the rugged Chuckwalla Desert.

The Huracán Sterrato is showcased in Arancio Borealis and Verde Turbine, giving insight into how customers are approaching the configuration process when designing their Lamborghini. Both Lamborghini executives agree that the best location to experience the Huracán Sterrato is in a rally-inspired environment, whether on tarmac or dirt.
