The Asterion’s naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, the same one used in the Huracàn, cranks out 610 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. It’s got three electric motors: one for each front wheel and another between the engine the and gearbox. Together they add another 300 horses, bringing the total to 910.

The Asterion is a concept, but we fully expect it to see production al più presto possibile. Lamborghini says it’s “a technology demonstrator representing a Lamborghini model that could be realistically produced today.”
