Terzo: Giving emotion to a raging bull in a university shop
Lamborghini has teamed up with MIT and it hints at the next Aventador, writes Michael Taylor
Not content with sculpting its own monuments to wickedness, Lamborghini has turned to the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to help deliver the Terzo Millennio concept car. Italian for “Third Millennium”, the Terzo Millennio saw the firm working with two MIT laboratories on a car widely believed to point the way towards the V12 Aventador’s successor. Lamborghini will only say the all-electric concept car is a “possible future Lamborghini” but insists it addresses the “visceral” emotions found in today’s cars, which is difficult to imagine without the V12 soundtrack. The hypercar concept will use its carbon fibre body as a battery to store energy for its all-electric powertrain, aiming to revolutionise hypercars by making them environmentally ethical.
