Italdesign Presents Lamborghini V10-Powered Parcour Concepts


Even Italdesign can't stray away from the SUV-mindset that has taken over the Volkswagen Group lately. At the Geneva Motor Show, the Italian design house, which passed into the ownership of the VW Group in 2010, will debut two new concept models for a high-performance crossover running on Lamborghini power.

Named  after the modern sport of Parcour (or Parkour) that's focused on moving around urban obstacles with speed, Italdesign developed both a coupe and a roadster version of the concept, which combines elements of crossovers and sports cars, wrapped in an outfit that could easily pass for a Lamborghini model.

Both cars offer space for two people and are fitted with a 542hp (550PS) 5.2-liter V10 engine sourced from the Lamborghini Gallardo mounted behind the passenger compartment. A 7-speed double-clutch automatic automatic transmission drives all four wheels (on 22-inch rims).

The concepts measure 4,530mm long, 2,070mm wide and 1,335mm high, and tip the scales at 1,550kg or about 3,417 pounds.

Italdesign quotes a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 320km/h (199mph).

The report says that Lamborghini will build 100 numbered examples of the 50th anniversary model that sports a tweaked engine delivering 20hp more than the standard Aventador L700-4's 6.5-liter V12 for a total of 710hp or 720PS. The Anniversario is said to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 2.9 seconds and top out at 350km/h (218mph).

So, what else do we know about the special edition Aventador? Well, as you can see in the pictures, it comes painted in a bright yellow shade that's called "Giallo Maggio", which is Italian for "Yellow May", and also sports a new black aero package with an aggressive front apron, new rear diffuser and side panels.

The car rides on black alloy wheels, with the exterior color-combo also making its presence in the interior.
