Lamborghini fans could face some indecision over whether or not the company’s latest offering honors their tradition of good-looking cars. The Italian sports car maker is famous for producing vehicles that define beauty and pace. While the latter quality is sure to be found in the company’s latest offering, the Alar, the initial reaction to press pictures of the car has been heavily divided between guarded praise and outright criticism.
Mulled for sale from March 2008, the Alar features a reworked version of the V12 mill used in the mighty Diablo. The unit has been bored to 7700cc, and produces 770hp at 7500rpm. Thanks to an ultra-light, super-stiff carbon fiber chassis, weight tops out at a low 1200kg. The 0-100km/h sprint is dispatched in a neck-snapping 3.6 seconds, and the fighting bull will nudge a top speed of 410km/h. It is clear, then, that performance will not be an issue of contention. The design, however, is the subject of much controversy. Penned by Joan Ferci (who also created a couple of Diablo spin-offs that include the Coatl and the Eros GT-1), it has been criticized for its radical styling cues.
While we have not seen detailed pictures of the car, one might concede that it is indeed an acquired taste. Decide whether or not this new Italian brute takes your fancy!

I will pretend that I am sleeping and this is a horrible nightmare. When I wake up there will be the nice pretty Gallardo and Murcielago posters staring at me….
Please dont tell me this is where Lambo’s design philosphy is going! This looks is the bastard child of some Japanese concept car and Photoshop!!
May 25, 2007 10:00 pm
It looks like one of the ‘futuristic’ cars off Thunderbirds or something…
It has ‘wow’ factor, you can’t knock it for that… The problem will be when the ‘wow’ wears off…
May 27, 2007 2:18 pm
Boy O Boy that’s a funny looking car….
The rear is stuning but the front looks like a frog!!!
One word: FUGLY
Where are the days of the 5000S? I’ve always been a Lambo fan, but this might just take them out of the race for wanted Super Cars….
May 29, 2007 11:28 am
Car design does not move ahead by being timid and just using what has worked in the past. it takes something radical like this to to push the boundries of tomorrow
June 2, 2007 1:06 am
the little thing sticking out the front of it sucks. but other than that its good
July 30, 2007 5:33 pm
oh my god. back end looks ok, front end is so ugly that i’ll abandon the brand if they release it!
August 21, 2007 2:52 am
I love lambos my fav car in whole world but this is almost the worst car i have seen sooooooo ugly……..i never thought it would come to this.
September 6, 2007 1:24 pm
please tell me that is not all 12 pipes in the back. i hope someone he this is what happens when the germans get ahold of italians and they re just smoked some crack and photoshopped a Hot Wheels car.
This is what happens when germans and italians try to work together.
September 14, 2007 6:02 pm
thiz lookz lyke a car a couple arabs came up with and threw sum shyt on a plate n gave it 2 th makerz of lambo and they tryd 2 make it look semi decent n th machine tht made th partz got a lilttle messed up on th front end of th car
September 29, 2007 9:39 pm
what? WHAT??? That thing is a Ferrari Enzo with yellow paint and a Lamborghini logo on the steering wheel! Look, the Enzo has the pointed nose and the two triangular holes in the bonnet, the Lamborghini I’m looking at right now has a pointed nose and two rectangular holes in the bonnet. I like the sleak looks of the Enzo better than the bulkyness of this Lamborghini Whatever-It-Is. I also think that the boote on it is hideous! It looks like wrinkles in the tail end of the car! It’s like my grandfather!
September 29, 2007 10:59 pm
yo this car is tight but i dont like the way the front looks i think that the lamborghini gallardo or murcielago is way better though even the diablo looks better than this, this guy is right though it has the same front as the ferrari enzo i always liked lambo’s but this design is not there style
October 3, 2007 10:04 pm
THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s diferent and stands out.too many cars blend in these days.all i can say is good work lamborgini.this is truly art.
October 4, 2007 10:26 pm
FACE THE FACT THIS CAR IS UGLY!!!!!!!!!!
BUT IT WILL BE GOOD TO DRIVE AND
U CAN GET A BETTER CAR WITH £400,000!!!!
What a crapy looking car! I love the straight lines Lamobs always had. But this thing I would not buy even if I had the money for it. I hope lambo not release it like this! rgd EJ
October 10, 2007 2:32 pm
i think the car is great. and for all u guys on this page that make wierd comments about arabs slapping it together or germans and italians get toghether and this is what happens, grow up, lets c if u can design a hot dog let alone a car. A real car enthusiast finds the qualities and uniqness of a whip he/she does not criticize it and a make it a racial weapon. Grow the fuk up and if u gotta problem with what ive written here email me at east_side_romeo@hotmail.com id be more than happy to fix ur prolems!
latazzzz
this car is kinda ugly…. it needs to be a little bigger…. and a different body kit put on it……. Thank You very much
November 2, 2007 5:04 pm
This lambo is sick i mean it’s like the italians have brought an angel to earth lambo’s are way the best super car.
November 7, 2007 9:13 pm
the back end looks nice. where is the rest of the front end? its like it is missing the front bumper. that thing looks ugly as hell. lambo need to stick with what appeals to people. i m sure the majority of the people will agree this concept car is ugly.
November 10, 2007 1:51 am
That is the most ugliest car i have ever seen!
Looks like a Diablo with an Enzo and a Toyota !
THE LAMBO IS MY FAVORITE CAR BUT I DONT REALLY LIKE THAT LAMBO
December 1, 2007 1:50 am
it’s all about the BULL baby, that’s right the bull. FUCK THE HORSE!!!!!!!!!!!
December 6, 2007 9:17 am
Enzo is not ugly!., Lamborghini would never ever release this car.
January 2, 2008 6:59 am
Pls change the front design. I like the design of Reventon. You should modify it.
January 9, 2008 7:19 pm
Este carro un una bakaneria etsa bello el que lo tenga domina el mundo.
January 18, 2008 2:10 am
Well the air scoops on the back viewed from the front are alright, but the front looks like a Yaris/ Enzo/ Subaru mutant and the back end has the face of a crack whore, complete with twelve rods in its mouth. Never. Ever. Make. This. Car.
Either go curvy or go straight and hard, don’t go swoopy hard straight curves.
Nothing to worry about folks – this monstrosity is simply a modified, rebodied Diablo, same as the Coatl and Eros GT1. All 3 are designed by Argentinian Joan Ferci.
It’s not a new Lamborghini model, and I’m surprised that Lamborghini has allowed the car to retain their name.
March 25, 2008 12:18 am
The revolution is of the huzzle but this shit is gay lamb needs me to design there cars
April 12, 2008 2:53 am
Lambos are not supposed to have curves!!!!!!!!!!!!The elegance and grace of the bull relies heavily on its clear cut designs(like the murcielago-most beautiful lambo of all time).This is a cross breed of a japanese concept and a cheap alfa romeo!!
April 14, 2008 4:12 pm
I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!! This does not look like the tradition of the Lamborghini Bull. I think it is the worst Lambo car. I love Lamborghini’s [The Gallardo Superleggera is my fav]. But this car is not the best car Lamborghini has made.
May 27, 2008 1:17 am
NOT COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 28, 2008 1:58 am
This is not one of their most impressive designs, don’t know were they are going with this!!!!
June 12, 2008 11:57 am
People learn to type correctly.
You type like my mom;
she doesn’t even know how to use a keyboard!
It looks like something i ate and S$%(TTED out.
This is uncalled 4;
needs a total do-over.
Sorry but am I missing something here? How on earth has this poor excuse for a virtual car fooled so many people? It seems to be the result of a poor combination of 3D modelling software and Photoshop created by an independant designer (probably a 16yr old in his bedroom).
As a member of the press for a supercar reviewing publication I can tell you that this ‘Lamborghini’ has never been acknowledged by Lamborghini themselves.
PLEASE, do not see this as the future of Lamborghini. It bears absolutely no resemblance to the latest prototype sketches I’ve seen. If you’ve seen the Lamborghini Reventon, you can basically imagine what the future Lamborghini’s will look like. The Reventon is currently Lamborghini’s inspiration for future models.
Trust me, there will never be a car as ugly as this that will wear the Lamborghini badge.
To finish off, who came up with that ridiculous name? All Lamborghini’s are named after bulls. I find it hard to believe that there’s ever been a bull named ‘Alar’.
Hello,

I am sending this email to contact people in need of artwork that they can use at fund raisers and silent auctions. I try to donate to 6-12 charities a year. I feel this is a good way that I can give back to others in need. If you can please help me and pass this on someone you know who I can help!
Tell me what you think!
I would like your opinion on my *New Website *

haha~ the car has a hairlip!!
not a big fan of the split front air dam, but i guess that is all for the handling?
Not big on the looks ..
sorry,

Change is in all things, take a look at Mercedes Benz who styled two round headlights only to realize thier mistake and finaly merge them into a single headlamp again.
It’s important to remember that this is the third Diablo rework and not a production model. Let the sods make it by hand, toil over it until the persperation pours off thier brow.. it is a flash in the pan.
October 6, 2008 4:09 pm
sry i’d have to say no it sort of looks like the designer got the idea from the front view of ethier an SLR or Enzo
October 9, 2008 3:53 am
this shit is sexy dont care what anyone says! i would love to get behind the wheel of this baby!
October 24, 2008 6:11 pm

Go to google type in ‘lambo concept’, you can easily see that its a concept, they have many picture of this ‘concept’ ‘alar’. I was looking forward to seeing the 2010 concept. Lambo is letting alot of peole down this year!!
February 27, 2009 5:54 pm
I THINK THIS IS THE BEST SPORTS CAR THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN SINCE I WAS YOUNG AND I REALIZED THAT THIS COMING I GOING TO BUY THIS CAR BECAUSE DADDY SAID THAT THIS IS A PERCECT SPORTS CAR FOR ME

March 23, 2009 8:56 pm
The Back of the car is very nice, the muffler especially, I guess i’ve been playing too much GTA4 :]
its a lambo, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it, or atleast don’t bitch. half the people who are bitching about it arent ever going to even see one
holaa soy de lima , peru y me e dado cuenta que la parte trasera del auto tiene inspiracion del Alfa Romeo 33 Pininfarina Coupe , en la parte de los faros trseros se nota la inspiracion!!
bueno chau
April 13, 2009 11:32 pm
I think he new car is ok but wat is diffrent is that it looks very small in the front ane big in the back(and yes if some of you are wondring i work for lambo and i know the the engine is in the back.) so if read all! Of the comments on this web site and i hope to put in a vood word for all of you
April 21, 2009 10:46 pm
It reminds me too much of melted wax (particularly the back end), but I have to admit the the wrap-around windshield is cool. All in all, my first reaction was “you’re joking, right”.
April 24, 2009 6:55 pm
The exhausts looks like extracting poops from a butt hole (pix 2)
ugly design, keep it down.
May 1, 2009 12:38 am
I think they overdid it a bit on the lambo.
It kind of looks like a badly built bat mobile
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY A CAR THAT REFLECT
1. POWER
2. MONEY
3. SPEED (NO MUSTANG SHIT OR OTHERS…)
4. RESPECT
5. TIME ( WAKE UP PEOPLE!)_
TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY HAVE SEEN IT ALL……………………….. YOU HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING YET!!!!!
this is fucking ugly. ill abandon lamborghini if this monstrosity gets vomitted out of the concept stage.
June 24, 2009 10:03 pm
it looks worse than a aston martin db5 old shape it is muchfaster aswell so FUCK U
September 21, 2009 11:17 am
THAT IS THE !!!!!!!!!CCOOLLLLEESSTT!!!!!!!!! RIDE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I GOT TO GET ME 1 OF THOSE…. EVEN IF IT COST $1OO,OOO,OOO,OOO! OK WELL, MAYBE NOT TAT MUTCH BUT IT IS SICK!!
. .
The production guys got go-ahead to build the car as was modelled in clay. Only problem was that the clay model was left out in the sun by some stupid clod!
November 18, 2009 3:21 pm
well….it’s….interesting, but i REALLY hope no one even THINKS about putting this one the market. Lambo Alar = Phail
December 4, 2009 3:35 am
I like the car, but the only reason i would say it’s ugly because it’s nothing like any other Lambo
December 15, 2009 9:03 pm
Ok…I am an obsessive Lamborghini fan…but im not liking this at all. They should stick to the Murcielago look…that’s prettyifulerrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 22, 2010 6:56 pm
(first look)-WHOAAAA! NICE CAR!
(second look)- WHOAAA! DATZ A MOTHA FUCKIN FUGLY CAR!
It’s like looking at a hot chick. U see her from behind and she has a fine ass. Then she turns around and u see her. Face it’s like holy hell. That’s the ugliest gril I’v ever seen. And another thang why didn’t lambo make it in the transformers movie’s. It was kick ass in cannonball run.
