The Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 (LPI is an abbreviation for Longitudinale Posteriore Ibrido) is a concept sports car manufactured by Lamborghini, which was unveiled in the 2014 Paris Motor Show. The car is named after a Minotaur called Asterion and was to be Lamborghini's first hybrid car. The half man – half bull Minotaur was chosen keeping in mind Lamborghini's tradition of naming their cars after a bull while alluding to its usage of different modes of power.
The car has a mid-mounted V10 engine producing 602 bhp and twin motors on the front axle besides a Lithium Ion battery pack producing a combined power of 296 bhp. The batteries are placed in the central shaft, which improves the car's safety and centre of gravity. It has a top speed of 320 km/h which reduces to 125 km/h when running solely on electric power. The car is a grand tourer and has a battery range of 50 km. The hybrid technology adds 250 kg to the overall weight of the car. The car has a sharp angular design and has a carbonfibre monocoque and a carbonfibre composite plastic body. The interiors have a minimalistic layout with the seats placed higher and the windshield more vertical than other cars by the brand to provide additional comfort.
