new Lanborghini hybrid is hot
Wow, I think this is one of the best looking Lamborghinis in a while. Not that they are usually unattractive, but this one really strikes a chord for me. Maybe it's got hints of Miura in the back half, and that's why I like it so much. I'm a sucker for some of the 50s and 60s car styles.
Lamborghini's 910HP plug-in hybrid goes 30 miles on a charge (hands-on)
Quote:
It can run in three modes: the first two use either the rear-drive 610HP V10 gas engine or "eco-friendly" 300HP front-drive electric motor system. And if you really need those groceries now, both can join forces to bring an unholy 910 combined horsepower. For those times when you'll settle for 300HP on the battery alone, you can even drive it up to 30 miles if you charge it up using the plug-in mode.
...Unfortunately, it's strictly a (fully functioning) concept car that'll never reach the market, so don't sell off that Hurrican yet.

I hadn't actually read any of the articles until now. That last tidbit is disappointing.
