Lamborghini Embolado

The Lamborghini Embolado is an extreme sports car characterized by an aggressive design with sharp and steady lines. The author is Luca Serafini, an Industrial Design final year student at University of Parma, Italy.The inspiration came from the research of a Spanish festival, named "Embolado Bull" (or Toro Embolado).

The choice of the name was the first step towards the creation of this concept.

Based on the Gallardo dimensions, He started to define the main lines in a very marked and steady way, giving the front end taurin forms.

The movement of the side surfaces gives the car a natural sleek appearance. All the design is based on the "aggressive" theme.

After the recent launch of the Gallardo Superleggera, in order to make a tribute to it,he adapted the Embolado Concept basing on the aesthetic modifications of the new model, with some post-process in Photo shop.

The Embolado was modeled in Rhino; the final renderings were created in 3DStudio MAX, with some post-process in Photoshop.
