Lim-borghini: Rendering of a Lamborghini limo

A British luxury car rental company has announced plans to create a limousine version of the Lamborghini Aventador. The model will sport plasma TV screens, a wet bar, four doors, and a surround sound audio system. The technical challenges involved in building the prototype are formidable; the company is offering free advertising and naming rights to major financial sponsors. Custom stretch limos are nothing new, but a faithful Lambo replica is, primarily because it’s never been done before.

Limo-borghini?: Video

The clip above is the closest you will get to a tour of the Aventador limo, complete with eerie music and non-standard photo angles. The clip is more properly called a “rendered video,” or CGI, which means that the car does not actually exist yet, but that’s not stopping Cars For Stars, the UK luxury rental company. The bar area rivals anything you may have spotted in a custom Rolls classic. When and if the Lamborghini stretch ever hits the road, it is certain to draw a crowd wherever it alights.

Electric Limo: Video

The vehicle featured in the video above is not a Lamborghini, but it is a Superbus. That is the name given to the prototype, high-speed limo that gets incredible mileage and travels at 155 mph. The creators of the elegant limo, a Dutch engineer and an Italian designer, hope that the vehicle will be a smart substitute for high-speed trains in communities that have smaller populations. Looking like a Formula 1 race car that has been stretched to several times its original length, the Superbus might just be plying the roads of European cities by the end of this decade.

Audi-owned Lamborghini announced that it would produce a hybrid version of its Gallardo in 2015. This follows other sports car makers Tesla and Ferrari, but the Lamborghini hybrid will boast a distinct design, if not a different price tag. In addition, while these cars are not aimed at the typical buyer, they serve an important purpose, namely as a research and development tool for innovative fuel concepts.

The ten and twelve cylinder gasoline devouring Gallardo will go on a diet of electricity and gas for its hybrid debut in mid-decade. None of the elegant, daring Lamborghini styling will be lost. In fact, company spokespersons say the hybrid will be identical to the current Gallardo design, with only a few minor physical tweaks.

Lamborghini’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, told a press gathering that the company’s first hybrid would feature an electric motor to propel the vehicle at street speeds, with the gas engine kicking in when more power is needed.

Interestingly, while boasting that the hybrid Gallardo will be a sort of rolling laboratory for Lamborghini scientists and engineers, Winkelmann pointedly noted that the corporation will not be venturing into the all-electric car manufacturing business for at least a decade or more. Why? No one seems to know, and the company shrugs off such questions by implying that they can only afford so much research at one time.

Winkelmann went into detail about the company’s hopes of developing its own trademarked hybrid drive system, much as other carmakers have done since 2000.

While sticker prices will prevent most of us regular people from purchasing a Lamborghini Gallardo hybrid, Winkelmann and his team are doing a service for the industry as a whole by providing yet another branch for the tree of alternative fuel research.

In the meantime, Lamborghini wall calendars will have to suffice. But, hey, they look good!
