..............Lamborghini...........Raptor............Concept..........Zagato............

Automobili Lamborghini SpA is an Italian supercar manufacturer headquartered in Santa Agata Bolognese. The company was founded in 1963 by entrepreneur Ferruccio Lamborghini with the sole purpose of showing Enzo Ferrari that he is not the only one in Italy who can create world-class sports cars. A team of the best Italian engineers and designers gathered around Lamborghini, which largely predetermined its success. Ferruccio was fond of bullfighting, and this was reflected in his entire legacy: most of the company's models were named after famous fighting bulls or concepts associated with tauromachy. Unlike the competition, Lamborghini cars never raced because Lamborghini considered this way of marketing too costly and risky.

The Raptor project has revolutionised the company’s decades-long expertise in constructing fully functioning running concepts. CAD-CAM development has been integrated from the outset, effectively eliminating the need for the traditional styling model and enabling the prototype to be completed in under one month.

The car features a novel modular cockpit lay-out with a front-hinged, one-piece greenhouse section which includes the doors, windscreen and the company’s famous double-bubble roofline. From a traditional two-seater coupé, the Raptor can be transformed into a two-seater Barchetta, or a racing-style open single-seater incorporating a special metal tonneau cover over the passenger’s seat.

The Raptor stands out for its particularly aggressive front and the sculpted sides that rise over the rear wheelarch to form small fins. That, along with the crisp crease in the waistline, give the idea of speed and fluency. Lamborghini Following on in Zagato’s long tradition of memorable show cars, the Raptor is no mere dream car, but a thoroughly practical and feasible production proposition. Raptor The Zagato Styling Centre (SZ Design) has developed the Raptor in order to ensure it could be built as a limited series. From the innovative tubular and box-section chassis to the exciting interior styling, the Raptor is a concentration of advanced design and engineering. Concept Fully certifiable for the road, this ultra-high performance, mid-engined sports coupé uses a powerful 5.7 litre V12 driving all four wheels. Zagato Lamborghini carried out tests on the Raptor, after which it appeared at Pebble Beach celebrating the Zagato marque.

Oldsmobile Aerotech I Short Tail Concept '1987 Aero Is King

Oldsmobile Aerotech I Short Tail Concept

The history of the Oldsmobile brand began in Lansing, Michigan, where Ransom Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Inc. In 1899, it was bought by industrial magnate Samuel Smith, renamed Olds Motor Works, and built a new plant in Detroit.

The glorious but, alas, the vanished company Oldsmobile played the role of an engineering springboard within General Motors. In particular, its designers took part in the development of the Northstar V8 aluminum overhead engine for Cadillac models - progressive and high-tech by American standards of the time.

The sixteen-valve 2.3-liter Quad 4, which appeared in the late eighties on compact front-wheel drive, is also the work of Olds. The creators knew about the true potential of the cutting edge product and wanted to showcase it to the world. And at the same time promote it according to the principle "win on Sunday, sell on Monday." This is how an unprecedentedly fast supercar with a forced version of the Quad 4 and the self-explanatory name Aerotech was born.

It is based on the chassis of the March 84C Indica car. Outside, no "formulaic" quotes - the platform is covered with a carbon fiber aerodynamic body. The monster is so streamlined that the air mass barely senses its presence. Even at extremely high speeds at the fifth hundred!

It would seem, how is this possible with a motor "two and three"? But in this case, only the volume remained from the original Quad 4. The unit has been modified and thoroughly "inflated" with a huge turbocharger. The first iteration of the supercar developed a monstrous 900 hp. The second version with an extended "tail" and two turbochargers produced over a thousand "horses". In August 1987, she showed 443 km / h at a distance of a mile and an average speed of 430.337 km / h in arrivals in different directions.

The final modification of Aerotech received a 4.0-liter V8 engine from the Oldsmobile Aurora sedan, which in turn was a stripped-down version of Cadillac's Northstar. The supercar has broken 47 endurance records, including world speed records for distances of 10,000 and 25,000 kilometers, as well as international and national achievements. Fantasy? Just eight days of round-the-clock work of testers.

Featured: 2.3L Quad 4 engine, this car held world speed record for "the flying mile" with an average speed of 267.399mph.

With 5 million more views than TopGear last month, @matwatsoncars of @carwowcars (UK) got 40 million views on YouTube! So I find it bizarre that such a competent and entertaining whilst highly knowledgeable about the cars he reviews presenter/car journalist does not have his own series on British TV...
