Lamborghini Terzo Millenio is the concept electric car we’d drive every day

Published on December 10, 2017

Just when you think Italian supercar maker Lamborghini can’t top their latest insanemobile, they go a bit more insane. Well, maybe not, actually. Check out the Lamborghini Terzo Millenio concept car. Yeah, that’s what we said when we first saw it too. If it looks like it’s from a sci-fi future, you’re right, as it’s a concept car and won’t be hitting dealerships anytime soon. Also: it’s a full-on electric concept supercar.

The Terzo was developed as a joint exercise with MIT to see how far Lamborghini could push electric car tech, and they pushed it pretty damn far indeed. Power and storage comes from a mass of carbon nanotube-filled super-capacitors instead of old-school batteries, and the carbon fiber bodywork can also store energy. The sleek bodywork can also “heal itself” to a certain degree if it’s damaged.

Liquid metal breakthrough:

Have some Raspberry Pi history on us:

There’s a motor in each wheel, and each rim has a series of coil-like “displays” or LEDs or something, which would be illegal pretty much everywhere except in Concept Car City, where the Terzo  currently resides. Sadly, this amazing thing isn’t a runner – there may also be a small issue with ground clearance – but it does show that Lambo is looking toward a possible electric future after decades of making a long line of amazing petrol-powered wondercars.
