Lamborghini Ankonian and Madura rendered speculation

By George Skentzos |

With a hybrid Lamborghini due to arrive in 2015 and the replacement for the Murciélago already well into development, one talented car designer has unveiled his interpretation of the next raging bulls.

Unlike most amateur car designs which – while impressive – are merely creations of fantasy, these two designs by Slavche Tanevski could actually feature design cues destined for the real thing.

First proposed in 2008, the Lamborghini “Ankonian” was one of three designs selected by the chief designer at Lamborghini to be turned into a 1/4 scale clay model.

“It took approx. 6 months to actually build the model and it was a great opportunity to try different possibilities concerning the surface management and the proportions. This how the design doesn’t look ‘artificial’, but mature, and due to the fact that we had constant support by Lamborghini and Audi Advanced designers, the final designs have professional touch.” said designer Slavche Tanevski.

Described as taking “the Reventòn style to the next level”, perhaps its most distinguishing feature is the lack of any discernible head lamps, instead replaced by a strip of OLEDs embedded beneath the folds at the front of the car.

Following the success of his first project, Tanevski then began work on what he envisaged a Lamborghini hybrid would look like – calling it the Madura.

“Doing a car more efficient and more nature-friendly, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exciting, good-looking and fast. But in my opinion this new propulsion system should be represented on the looks of the car.”

Regardless of whether these designs make it into reality, it is at least comforting to know Lamborghini is taking notice of designs as radical as these.

    I think they look horn! Ok, a bit futuristic (even by today’s standards) but very nice overall!

    I love the agro styling of the “Ankonian”, whilst the “Madura” – still mean – looks like its stuck in a phase between boy racer and luxurious elegance…

    Is there a new Batman movie coming out? The top car looks like a batmobile thats been pillaged by Mad Max. The second car however looks more realistic and quite good.

    The yellow one is very nice. The black one is way out there and to over done.

    The last sketch looks very promising, but i dunno about the black one. It looks to futuristic even for 2020. But then again Lamborghini has always been ahead of the times. We will have to wait and see.

    Shouldn’t these be sent to Batman? Hahaha, but the yellow one is quite nice, in saying that, I wouldn’t like to see it in production. Just doesn’t suite the lamborghini badge

    I don’t think the black one catches the essesence of the Reventon, or Lambo in general. To me it is not a Lambo.

    • Peter

      yeah, for some reason it makes me think of a corvette with a sore backside

  • “james”

    they both look very different, the black one is still a good design for originality. the rear end looks like it is lifted up, as if it’s some sort of an air brake/drag system. i think it would be very cool if the entire rear section lifted up to a position as seen in the pics to produced a braking effect, and lowering itself down again in high speed when applying the throttle. the black one with a few tweeks could be a very distinctive design
