lamborghini + IED barcelona's cars of the future bring new functionality to the driving experience

ETHEREAL is a vehicle made of two parts — an electric one-seater car and a motorcycle built into the central cabin to solve the problem of traffic congestion in big cities. the design combines values such as symmetry, unity, and transformability, without compromising the essence of the italian brand, featuring subtle, pure and geometric lines and proportionality as the core aesthetic element. the ethereal air that inspired the name of the project is tied to an androgynous target audience to overcome the gender conventionalities associated with sports cars. 

SHAHIN, meaning falcon in arabic, is a luxurious and spacious four-seater sports car inspired by the figure of sheikh hamdan, the prince and heir of dubai, with his passion for extreme sports and engines. the vehicle was conceived for desert and urban driving thanks to its two suspension systems per wheel, and features wing doors to enhance the sports vibe and offer the driver new experiences. what’s more, the car is fitted with an off-road bike that is perfectly adapted to ride the desert’s sand dunes, so the driver can make the very most of these two extreme sports.

MAGMA is a merger of two racing vehicles — a sports car and a hydroplane, which can land on water. singapore, the ultimate smart city, has been chosen as the backdrop for this sports vehicle, which features four retractable hydrofoils and a central section that emerges from the platform to go from driving to floating. designed with pilots and young speed lovers in mind, its organic and geometric design resembles a formula 1 monocoque. the vehicle runs on a plasma engine, a type of sustainable technology that is likely to star in the future of the automobile industry.

paris 2035 is the scenario where this electric two-seater will be driven, evoking the nostalgia of the golden age of video games and retro-futurism. ESPECTRO’s design brings back lamborghini classics like the miura, diablo or countach, preserving their extreme proportions whilst adding newer, cleaner forms. molina’s second idea is named ‘ghost’, a robot-vehicle that interacts with ESPECTRO through three functions — choosing the least busy and most drivable routes; programming customized tracks to race on and feel the thrill of a competition, and following it to disable radars and sensors.

drawing on the adrenaline rush as inspiration, this design is able to run on land and air, tackling the challenge of conquering air from an automotive approach. the vehicle is divided into two parts — a platform and a cabin that come apart when it takes off. as an aircraft, the cabin rises and moves thanks to three propellers — two on the outer wings and one at the rear. to top it all, the student has designed exclusive spaces known as ‘sentinels’ to enable the brand’s customers to experience extreme sensations at different facilities all over the world.
