The Lamborghini Madura concept car was imagined by Slavche Tanevsky, a student at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. It was created in partnership with Lamborghini and Audi designers for Lamborghini’s Raw Materials Project.

Slavche has designed a model with the classic, aggressive lines of a Lambo, but with a hybrid engine. This concept vehicle carries the name of an island in Indonesia, well known for its bull races.

Although it slightly resembles the Reventon and the Estoque, the overall design of this hybrid concept car is more aggressive and more focused. The front-mid placed hybrid drivetrain is “hidden” under the curvy hood. In the front side the Madura has huge air intakes and slim headlights, oriented in such a way to accentuate the cars’ width.

“The Madura is a proposal for the first hybrid Lamborghini scheduled for 2016. Doing a car more efficient and more nature-friendly, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exciting, good-looking and fast. (But) in my opinion this new propulsion system should be represented on the looks of the car.” said Tanevsky.

The V Concept supercar has been designed by the Italian designer Fabio Ferrante, who is a graduate of the Polytechnic Institute of Turin. The concept is a luxurious 4 seater coupe, designed for comfort and the pleasure of driving.

Despite its fluid car body design, the V is actually inspired from the 1960s American muscle cars, especially the 1967 Chevrolet Impala, featured in the TV series “Supernatural”. The letter “V”, naming this sports car, is actually the first letter in the name of Ferrante’s girlfriend.

The V Concept has its distinct character and is not intended to be a revival of the Chevrolet Impala. Instead it’s a tribute to the style of the American muscle cars, with their imposing muscular build. This vehicle measures around 5 meters in length, 2 meters in width and has a height of about 1.4 meters. Even though the concept is not going into serial production, Ferrante proposed a hybrid engine for the supercar.
