The 2019 Lamborghini Asterion Is a 900-Hp Rocket Ship

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE4flXi41peiomvSRcAYp_7QelPrPKuCMxgE5pnL9Nw-meI1vobzNqX3s6VjOyDaXASRM-rsJ5igSth5DInLELn3jwEYouLlVDUmzUnXp9P_W9sYsZ9n468jkVdeTTFqcB6w7WbJgEdSs/s640/landscape-1434978614-2019-lambo-web.jpg" width="640" /></div><h3>What It Is</h3>A two-seat hybrid GT christened with the name of  the original minotaur from Greek mythology. Why? Because Lambos have to  be named after bulls and a minotaur is a hybrid of a man and a bull,  which is both clever and better-sounding than LaLamborghini.<br /><h3>Why It Matters</h3>Alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder,  the Asterion further cements hybrid systems as appropriate kit for  future supercars. At the very least, hybridization will be one stopgap  Lamborghini employs to postpone its inevitable adoption of boosted and  downsized engines.<br /><h3>Platform</h3>A modified carbon-fiber Aventador tub with aluminum substructures, front and rear.<br /><h3>Powertrain</h3>An Huracán-spec  602-hp 5.2-liter V-10 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with an  integrated motor/generator at the back end, while two electric motors  power the front wheels. Combined output is 897 horsepower, and a  lithium-ion battery pack in what would otherwise be the transmission  tunnel is said to be good for 31 miles with a top speed of 78 mph in EV  mode. Wake the gas engine, and the Asterion should hit 60 in a flat  three seconds and continue to a top speed of 199 mph.<br /><div class="embedded-recirc--container norewrite" style="display: block; word-wrap: break-word;"><div class="embedded-recirc--image-container"></div><div class="embedded-recirc--inner"><br /></div>Competition</div>The easy answer would be the LaFerrari,  P1, and 918, but Lambo stresses that the Asterion would be more of a  comfortable GT than any of those. So toss in a Ferrari F12 for good measure.<br /><h3>What Might Go Wrong</h3>Since  Lambo already has two ultra-exclusive two-seaters, it might separate  the Asterion from its powertrain, putting the 900-hp hybrid system into  one of its existing supercars. Or it could pair the electric bits with a  turbo V-6 or V-8 from sugar-daddy VW's parts bin, to stretch the  Asterion down-market and go <em>mano a mano</em> with the Ferrari California.  Or it could just not build anything at all like this car. Lambo CEO  Stephan Winkelmann initially said that his company would not be building  the Asterion, but his lieutenants later backpedaled on that statement.  Either way, expect to see the hybrid system in production. R&D chief  Maurizio Reggiani has said that a hybrid is his preferred alternative  to engines with turbos or fewer cylinders.<br /><h3>Estimated Arrival and Price</h3>No  earlier than 2018 at a price anywhere from $200,000 for a  California-fighting GT to a half a million if Lambo goes with the 900-hp  version.<br /><br /></div>

In addition to matte-finish exterior paint, Viper customers can now choose between satin chrome or satin black badging and fuel filler door for a more sinister appearance.<br /><br />First seen on the Anodized Carbon Viper special edition model, the matte-finish exterior paint will be offered beginning with the 2016 model year production. Orders for the new matte finish equipped Vipers will open at Dodge dealerships in July.<br /><br />All 2016 Dodge Viper models are also available with stripes. GT, GTC, GTS and ACR models offer optional “GTS” stripes that run the length of the car from the front to rear fascia. The SRT and GTC models are available with “SRT” stripes on the clamshell hood, roof and rear hatch. Viper GTC and ACR models are available with the ACR center band and driver’s side stripe.<br /><br />Exterior stripes are offered in Black Venom, Billet Silver, Bright White, Gunmetal Pearl and Adrenaline Red. More hues can be chosen from the custom “1 of 1” color palette. Each “1 of 1” Viper GTC also features a personalized instrument panel badge with the customer’s chosen name, as well as satin chrome or satin black badging and fuel filler door.<br /><br />To make sure than the “1 of 1” program sticks to its promise of exclusivity, no two customers can order the same configuration, including color, in the same model year.</i></div>

Furthermore, the company also intends to feature a showroom in the  facility and provide tours of the car manufacturing process. <br /><br />After filing for bankruptcy, Fisker was acquired by China’s auto-parts  giant - Wanxiang Group Corp - in 2014 for $149.2 million. Since then,  the company was constantly determined to re-launch its activity, but  always came short due to unforeseen circumstances. <br /><br />Initially built in Finland, the car-company has decided that the new  Karma will be solely manufactured and constructed in U.S. as Jim Taylor,  Chief Marketing Officer of Fisker, stated:<br /><br />“Fisker believes in the quality, work ethic and competitiveness of  manufacturing in the USA. California's natural beauty, trend setting,  technology, and environmental focus are perfectly aligned with our Karma  re-launch.”<br /><br /><br />Truth be told, the State of California has a history supporting electric cars and this could come as an aid for Fisker’s plan. <br /><br />The date of the official launch remains unknown, but perhaps by the end  of 2016, Karmas will be swarming off the production line. Mind you,  Wanxiang initially wanted to resume production of the Karma by the end of 2014 and then again by mid-2015;  so, taking this into account, we can't speculate on an exact date,  since the company rushes to announce things way too eagerly. </i></span></span></div><h2 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><i></i></h2><h2 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><i></i></h2></div>

Named “Mako-Blue” the paint-job seems to offer a sense  of aristocracy and as the CEO himself stated: “the new colour on the  Aston Martin DBX makes the design highlights really pop!”<br /><br />Well, in contrast with the polished roof-line, it does make the car less serious.  <br /><br />The series production DBX will be probably built in an entirely new facility – in the U.S. – with a £200 million investment ($316 million). It’s not exactly known what it will carry under the hood, but we’re thinking an AMG engine should do the trick.</span></i></span><span id="transmark"></span></div><h2 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"></h2><h2 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"></h2></div>
