Lamborghini Alar

Lamborghini

Engine7.7 L V12

Start with what the Lamborghini Alar is: a 2-door coupé with 7.7&nbsp, from Lamborghini. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Ariel Casariego.

Where it came from

The Lamborghini Alar was a concept for a mid-engined sports car to be produced by Lamborghini LatinoAmerica. A unit was rumored to cost $750,000 each. The Alar was heavily based on the Diablo especially in the areas of chassis and engine. Other components are made locally by the company. The Alar has yet to be produced.

Under the skin

The engine is 7.7&nbsp. On the scales it comes to 1200 kg. Drive goes through a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

In the Lamborghini line-up the Lamborghini Alar has a clear place: the factory was Argentina. Nearby in the Lamborghini catalogue sit the Lamborghini Calà and the Lamborghini Marco Polo.
