Lamborghini Needs Better Designers
Isn’t this the ugliest car you’ve ever seen? It is the Lamborghini Alar.

What were they thinking?! It’s not just ugly, it’s hideous.
They should go with cool designs like this one by Luca Serafini who calls it the
Lamborghini Embolado.

It probably is a bit too concave just before the rear wheels, but looks pretty cool apart from that. I wonder how this car will perform on Indian roads. I’m not talking about the handling but the problem of speedbreakers and potholes in our barely-there roads. It’s the first thing I think of when I see cars with low ground clearance.

LOL ! Alar looks hopeless.. looks like some parts of the body have been scooped out !
Yeah.. same here.. even i look for the ground clearance when buying a car.

It’s that cleft lip. Arun, yes yes, me too. The other day I actually told the Ferrari dealer I couldn’t buy even one of his cars because the body were too close to the ground.
October 10th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
It definitely looks terrible. I wonder how they even approved the design.
Did you tell the dealer that your reason was because of the crappy roads in India?

The first one looks like a banana peel with wheels.
The second one looks too 80s, man. The designer must be a transformers fan.

@Marc: No way, man. I’m a patriotic citizen, I don’t diss my country.
October 10th, 2007 at 9:01 pm
George, it’s the truth. Face it. Low riding cars will become cars in need of repair in our country.
Vinny, in the 80s they had muscle cars. Design as such didn’t exist back then.

Whats the point of a car riding low?
The best thing is to have vehicles that are really high, and really tough to get into. Like our PTC buses. You feel a sense of achievement once you have gotten yourself a seat, and feel brave to face the upcoming challenges of the day.
Sundar.

@ Marc,
I am talking about cars like the Delorean and Countach and some sedans of that era.
anyways, Lamborghini has really screwed it up. The whole company must be consuming crack.
October 11th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
Marc, don’t “truth” me. You just hate our freedom.
October 11th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Sundar, you deserve to live in India. And it has been MTC for many years now.
George, try not to talk nonsense.
October 11th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
Ah ha, Marc, Appeal to Ridicule. You India-bashers are so illogical.
October 11th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
Why is the ‘A’ and ‘R’ capitalised?
Well, I’d say something about India-lovers but that description in itself is an insult.
October 11th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
PTC MTC who cares? What matters is that they’ve all got high footboards.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
Ah, Appeal to Ridicule is a famous logical fallacy, that’s why. Though I don’t suppose hippie pot-smoking communists like you would understand.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Many people still use PTC. There’s nothing wrong with that. Marc, cut it with the whole ‘I hate India’ thing, I see nothing wrong with the country, or at least nothing SO bad that makes it intolerable.
October 13th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
George is just saying something just for the sake of making noise so we’ll ignore him.
Anusha, people thinking like you are what’s wrong with the country.
October 13th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
Yeah, go ahead. Ignore what you can’t logically oppose. Nice try.
October 13th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
You want me to not ignore what exactly?
October 14th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Listen, you long-haired eternal student, get a real job and then maybe you can try to argue with honest taxpayers like me. Why should we have to subsidise your failings?
October 14th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Don’t even get me started about the subsidies you were getting…
I don’t even have long hair, you fatso!
October 14th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
Ah ha argumentum ad hominem, I see. Making fun of my size just because you have nothing rational to say. Typical!
October 14th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Isn’t that what you did in comment number 19?
October 14th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
You think pulling out some obscure tech reference will save you?
October 15th, 2007 at 3:03 pm
You’re the one using Latin or something.
October 15th, 2007 at 4:56 pm
Illiterate hippie. I pay taxes for you to go to school and you don’t even bother. You might as well spit in the face of all honest Indians.
October 15th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
I studied in private schools. For the last time, you don’t pay taxes. Your father does. And all taxes go into the pockets of politicians.
October 16th, 2007 at 2:22 am
Oh yeah, well where do you think the money for the roads came from? Taxes. Where do you think the money for the subsidised food came from? Taxes. Also, don’t you dare insult our leaders, they are far greater men than you can ever imagine. You are not worthy to pick up after them or to kiss the ground they trod on fifty years before. Have some respect for your country, man!
October 16th, 2007 at 2:00 pm
The great people are all dead. We only have the leftovers. I’m waiting for them to hurry up and die.
October 16th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
You’re pathetic, living off our sweat.
October 16th, 2007 at 4:05 pm
And you’re a dumbass. Go spam the other posts.
October 16th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
October 16th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
Way to go, George!!!
October 17th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
Too bad you really don’t know George. Even we find it hard to tell when he’s trying to be funny.
October 18th, 2007 at 2:25 am
I find it easy. It’s the times when hilarity ensues.
October 19th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Or not.
October 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Depends on where it umm ‘ensues’ from.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:40 am
What the hell was that all about. U were suppost to talk about Lamborghinis, not politics. My opinion is that you are both dumbasses. Dont push me you shiny suited pricks.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:24 am
The word you were looking for is ‘you’.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Lambo, we will talk about what the hell we want. Go back to posting comments on YouTube, where you and your kind belong. And learn English. Punctuation too while you’re at it.
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:21 am
HOW ABOUT A LAMBORGHINI WE ALL CAN AFFORD???????????
YEAH, LIKE THAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR LIFETIME..
May 3rd, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Did you really need to post that in all caps?
August 20th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I think that Mike is right. That would be nice.
August 20th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
If we could all afford it, it wouldn’t be as glamorous, would it?
August 21st, 2008 at 3:58 am
The question is, can we afford to be glamorous? What if we’re mugged by low-lifes?
August 21st, 2008 at 4:35 pm
If you can afford a Lamborghini you can afford a gun.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Ah yes, but a gun is useless below 18ft, or something, unless you’re actually carrying it unconcealed and that, I think, is not allowed. By the time you draw, the mugger can gut you with a jack-knife.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:42 pm
I think in India it’s forbidden to carry the gun unconcealed. But then, Lamborghini in India is a ‘lolwut’.
A mugger is not an assassin and asks for your valuables first, giving you time to react.
