2010 Lamborghini Supercar Cnossus Concept - Lamborghini Sports Car

This here is the Lamborghini Cnossus. The Lamborghini Cnossus Concept was designed by Russian student Victor Filipchenko with the help of his Portuguese colleague Nelson Simoes as part of their final thesis project at Italy’s Scuola Politecnica di Design.
2010 Lamborghini Supercar Cnossus Concept
Every Lambo needs a bull theme, and this supercar design study for a supercar concept named after the ancient Greek city of Cnossus (Knossus) on the island of Crete. The designers claim to have been inspired by the Lamborghini Countach, though it is evident that the edgy styling of the limited production Reventon special also played a role in the design of the Cnossus Concept.
 
Presenting a bold vision of what the firm’s future flagship could look like, the concept takes inspiration from Lamborghini models past and present, including the Countach and Reventón.
 
It boasts many classic cues such as telephone-dial wheels lifted from the Countach, scissor doors and gaping air intakes in front of the rear wheelarch. At the rear, the thin strip of LED lights with inverted arrows at the end is a clear nod towards the Reventón’s jet-fighter theme, while the diffuser looks more like something you’d find on a Le Mans prototype racer than a road car.

Sales of diesel-run cars to slowdown in coming months

The sales figures of diesel variants of popular cars in India, which have been showing an upward trend until recently, is expected to witness a decrease in coming month as the govt has decided to hike the price of fuel in the country. The major contributor to this expected decrease in the demand for diesel run cars is the narrowing down gap between petrol and diesel prices, due to which many prospective buyers of diesel variants are now moving towards petrol versions. While exactly four years back in June 2006, the gap between petrol and diesel price was around Rs 15 in national capital, the current difference between both of these fuels is only Rs 11.56.

According to Mr Ankush Arora, vice-president (sales & marketing), General Motors India, if the price of diesel moves up again and comes further closer to petrol, there would certainly be a shift in buying behavior as people would prefer to opt more for petrol vehicles. He was speaking to a leading business news daily in India, Mr Arora added that the shift could be immediate in small cars where monthly fuel bills is an important factor in purchasing decisions.
