First look
At first glance, the dark and low Lamborghini Ankonian Concept looks distinctly hostile but it is this very sinister look that draws you in. What sets the concept apart from most supercar concepts doing the rounds of design forums, however, is the fact that it was developed in collaboration with designers from Audi and Lamborghini which lends the design an authenticity and cleanness in its silhouettes. The core of the design can be attributed to Slavche Tanevsky, who uses the Lamborghini Reventon as starting point and elaborates the smooth curves of its muse to morph his creation into a highly futuristic version of the vision. Keeping with the Italian automaker’s trend of naming its supercars after bulls, the concept was christened the Ankonian after an aggressive breed of bulls that is known for its furry, glossy-black hide.
The Beauty
With great looks and a stunning silhouette comes mounting expectations of exceptional features. One of its most prominent trump card is its looks. The car takes on from its predecessor Reventon and adds to its body those seamless curves with killer edges that pronounces spectacular beauty. Quite unlike regular super cars, this one takes cues from the cab backward design of the GT vehicles. And to top it all is its glossy black paint that personifies the aggression and fury that the car stands for. The iconic OLEDs that serve as headlights, between the surfaces, for the car, further accentuates its overwhelming arrogance. On the whole, the car epitomizes power and passion with a close amalgamation of articulate and audacious concave and convex curves.
The Beast
A beast both inside and outside, Ankonian has received accolades of several critics. It employs a mid-engine mount, that rather obviously makes it not a very eco-friendly design. Otherwise, its engine is said to take on from the preceding Reventon, perhpas with a little more power displacement. Despite lack of specific details, its design is doing the job of enthralling die hard car lovers and critics.
The Interiors
To be even one notch short of fineness is not accepted in this case. The interiors of the car has been designed taking into view its phenomenal features that can be controlled from the driver's seat. The interiors assert the super car vibe that the Ankonian is designed to emit.
The Exteriors
Bold, bovine and bombastic, the exterior of the Lamborghini Ankonian is definitely one of its kind. From the angular cut body to the hot-rod stance, the car is easily understood for having a dynamic body even when it is stationary. Radically different from the current trend in super cars, the Ankonian, not only differs with its cab backward design, but its narrow and sleek body as well. The rear end of the car is simply fantastical, something that just jumped out of a comic strip. If it is one drawback in the look, it has to be the rear hood of the car, that belittles its fury, slightly.
Price and Availability
The Lamborghini Ankonian is a futuristic model being designed on paper. It is likely to make rounds in the market in 2016, with its unusual features and looks.
