Lamborghini Terzo Millennio (2017)
Lamborghini unveiled its futuristic Terzo Millennio concept in 2017. This vehicle is the result of a collaboration with MIT, which will span three years and about 100 million in funding. The concept car was revealed during the EmTech conference in Cambridge, MA. The auto uses a range of high-capacity supercapacitors instead of batteries for its electric motors for rapid energy storage and discharge without depending on chemicals.
Every wheel has its own electric motor and rims that glow orange. The individual motors allow for improved stability and torque, comparable to the Formula One car, making it an all-wheel drive when there’s a running model. This concept also has an autonomous driving system for the racetrack but not the road. The system allows the car to do a lap without mistakes, allowing for the driver to learn with a ghost car, like video games such as Gran Turismo. The design follows the modern Lamborghini expectations, including the Y-shaped taillights and headlights plus a triangular front trunk. The body panels are carbon fiber composite with nano-tubes for self-repairing. The sensors are factory-fitted and detect small dents and cracks in the panel. The health system monitors the various fluid levels, tire life, and many other components to ensure the vehicle is performing optimally.
