Lamborghini Insecta concept

Playing a quick game of automotive-animal word association, you’d probably link Lamborghini to a bull. Between the emblem on the hood, supercars named after famous fighting bulls and the farming roots of the company, the association is well established.

This concept, called the Insecta, the radical concept’s design elements were borrowed from bugs instead of bovines. Combining organic shapes with Lamborghini’s trademark geometric angles, the Insecta concept integrates themes culled from the body armor observed on certain species of insects. With its dimensions and powertrain borrowed from the Gallardo, the Insecta would pack a sting as sharp as its buzz, and it could make a compelling successor to the current LP560-4 – but Lambo would have to drop a load of bull first.

You deserve that scratch on your fender

Seriously — if you are dumb enough to park your Lamborghini Gallardo right off of Broadway in Times Square, you deserve every bad thing that will happen to that beautiful car. Italian designers worked tirelessly to create a piece of machinery that could travel at high speeds without thinking twice about it. It’s probably not the ideal vehicle to be traveling at 15 MPH in big city traffic. Idiot. May Geico have mercy on your soul!
