Creative minds in the automotive world sometimes produce renderings that capture attention right away. Such is the case with the Lamborghini Verdugo concept from designer Anurag Dulewale. Shared on Behance, this project presents an exotic shooting brake that blends sharp performance with a touch more everyday usefulness than typical supercars offer.
Dulewale took a lot of inspiration from aviation geometry to give the car’s lines and surfaces a very crisp, purposeful appearance. The V-shaped nose first catches your eye, followed by the Y-shaped headlamps that give the automobile a laser-like focus. The massive wheel arches, however, are what really make the car’s side stand out, giving it a strong, grounded stance that’s impossible to ignore. The crisp lines on the doors and fenders are equally excellent, providing tension without distracting from the overall design.
- A build for Lamborghini fans and car collectors – Give sports car enthusiasts ages 9 years old an advanced building challenge as they assemble the LEGO Technic Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica (42161) model toy sports car
- Admire the details – Kids can build and explore the moving V10 engine, steering and opening doors of this Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica model
- Inspired by the original – This Lamborghini model car features a classic green color scheme
The back end, on the other hand, is a genuine eye-catcher, with its angular design and massive diffuser that appears to be designed to flow air as quickly as possible. The taillights are perfectly aligned with the Y from the front, and everything just fits together so well in this one clear language. It’s evident Dulewale chose the name Verdugo with a specific reason in mind, as Lamborghini frequently draws inspiration from battling bulls, but this one takes a different approach, resembling the thin blade used by matadors to go in for the kill.
When you consider how the design will actually work, practical concerns arise. Shooting brakes are intended to be a cross between the elegance of a coupe and the size of a wagon, and designers typically place the engine at the back to preserve the long hood that customers adore, but with an electric powertrain, they may be able to cram in even more area. Lamborghini has, of course, expanded into SUVs with the Urus family of vehicles, while keeping their main supercar line relatively concentrated. There are no imminent plans to continue with new radical models right now, but renderings like the Verdugo allow fans to get a glimpse of the kinds of fresh concepts that may be floating about in the designers’ imaginations.
