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.



  2. George says:

    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.



  3. Marc Z says:

    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?



  4. Vin says:

    The first one looks like a banana peel with wheels.

    The second one looks too 80s, man. The designer must be a transformers fan.



  5. George says:

    @Marc: No way, man. I’m a patriotic citizen, I don’t diss my country.



  6. Marc Z says:

    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.



  7. Sundar says:

    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.



  8. Vin says:

    @ 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.



  9. George says:

    Marc, don’t “truth” me. You just hate our freedom.



  10. Marc Z says:

    Sundar, you deserve to live in India. And it has been MTC for many years now.

    George, try not to talk nonsense.



  11. George says:

    Ah ha, Marc, Appeal to Ridicule. You India-bashers are so illogical.



  12. Marc Z says:

    Why is the ‘A’ and ‘R’ capitalised?

    Well, I’d say something about India-lovers but that description in itself is an insult.



  13. Sundar says:

    PTC MTC who cares? What matters is that they’ve all got high footboards.



  14. George says:

    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.



  15. Anusha says:

    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.



  16. Marc Z says:

    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.



  17. George says:

    Yeah, go ahead. Ignore what you can’t logically oppose. Nice try.



  18. Marc Z says:

    You want me to not ignore what exactly?



  19. George says:

    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?



  20. Marc Z says:

    Don’t even get me started about the subsidies you were getting…

    I don’t even have long hair, you fatso!



  21. George says:

    Ah ha argumentum ad hominem, I see. Making fun of my size just because you have nothing rational to say. Typical!



  22. Marc Z says:

    Isn’t that what you did in comment number 19?



  23. George says:

    You think pulling out some obscure tech reference will save you?



  24. Marc Z says:

    You’re the one using Latin or something.



  25. George says:

    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.



  26. Marc Z says:

    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.



  27. George says:

    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!



  28. Marc Z says:

    The great people are all dead. We only have the leftovers. I’m waiting for them to hurry up and die.



  29. George says:

    You’re pathetic, living off our sweat.



  30. Marc Z says:

    And you’re a dumbass. Go spam the other posts.



  31. George says:

    :D Okay, I love trying on the loony right-wing libertarian hat.



  32. Anusha says:

    Way to go, George!!!



  33. Marc Z says:

    Too bad you really don’t know George. Even we find it hard to tell when he’s trying to be funny.



  34. George says:

    I find it easy. It’s the times when hilarity ensues.



  35. Marc Z says:

    Or not.



  36. Anusha says:

    Depends on where it umm ‘ensues’ from.



  37. Lambo says:

    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.



  38. George says:

    The word you were looking for is ‘you’.



  39. Marc Z says:

    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.



  40. MIKE says:

    HOW ABOUT A LAMBORGHINI WE ALL CAN AFFORD???????????
    YEAH, LIKE THAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR LIFETIME..



  41. Marc Z says:

    Did you really need to post that in all caps?



  42. Joe says:

    I think that Mike is right. That would be nice.



  43. Marc Z says:

    If we could all afford it, it wouldn’t be as glamorous, would it?



  44. George says:

    The question is, can we afford to be glamorous? What if we’re mugged by low-lifes?



  45. Marc Z says:

    If you can afford a Lamborghini you can afford a gun.



  46. George says:

    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.



  47. Marc Z says:

    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.
