The First Hyper Cruiser is Born. It’s a Lamborghini with a Plug
So we were way off in all of our guesses about what the new Lamborghini was. Like way off. Introducing the Lamborghini Asterion, the first hybrid powered Lamborghini, and because it’s a Lamborghini, it’s stupidly overpowered a wields the might of ten cars to the tune of 910 horsepower!
The new Asterion uses a combined 5.2L V10, producing 610 hp, with three separate electric motors that all produce a further 300 hp, giving the new car a whopping 910 hp that’s going to all four wheels!
Lamborghini says that those numbers are good enough for a 0-60 run in just under 3 seconds and will propel the big car all the way up to 200+ mph.
Unlike its other hybrid supercar competitors, the Lamborghini can actually be driven a full 31 miles on electric mode alone, besting the 918 and the LaFerrari.
Now let’s get down to the looks. The interior is actually really cool, I really love the cream and light brown leather. It definitely says luxury and looks extremely comfortable.
But the exterior… I don’t think I’m going to find any love for it. It is not a pretty thing, especially the middle section where it looks like Lamborghini squashed an Alfa 4C and the new Huracan together.
It’s interesting to see how supercar manufacturers are coming up with clever ways to keep producing ridiculous beasts in spite of all the new government regulations around the world.
However, at the moment, the new Asterion is just a technology concept. It is not a production car as of yet. They do give it a great name though, it’s not a hypercar, it’s a hyper cruiser.
