“the terzo millennio is the visionary outcome conceived by the lamborghini centro stile to express future design elements, taking into account the radical changes in technology and anticipating elements of forthcoming lamborghini design. an example for a very strong statement is the evolution and further development of the lamborghini typical y-signature in the front and rear lights.”

what we know: a brand new aerodynamic structure for the company. mobility will consist of four electric motors – one integrated into each wheel. energy storage to feed those four motors could be supercapacitors instead of li-ion batteries.

same porsche 918 spyder spotted in south beach & west hollywood.

Oct 16, 2017

last weekend at hotel jeremy in west hollywood two cars catch our eye in our parking lot. one is a 2018 matte metallic grey aston martin db11, the other a 2018 porsche 918 spyder. what stands out with each car…the db11, omg what a sound it generates. the 918, omg what a paint job though may not be not paint but a film that reduces the weight of the car. it looks red in the photo but it’s a sick rose colored aluminum.

we find out that the porsche owner is staying at our hotel for a few months and his car cost $1.3m usd. the db11, no photos as i was always too slow to take the shot.
