Lamborghini Vettore V12 Concept Looks Ahead to Sant’Agata’s Next V12 Era

The Vettore’s overall mathematical expression can be described as follows:

Its ground clearance is minimal; its length exceeds its width, and it has most of its mass located toward the back of the body.

The cabin is positioned as far as possible toward the front of the vehicle, the front profile has little to no overhang, and the design of the overall vehicle is one-monolithic form (i.e., the entire design is a single volume).

The profile view completes the task of accurately aligning one feature of the car.

The car assigns everything towards one side of the profile, whereas you've got the facility with one continuous line from the front of the car to the rear.

Having a low, level roofline and a longish, clean body is continuous along its length provides a solid balance to the car before you start adding specific design details and proportionally so in this instance are all proportions seem to make sense and seem purposeful rather than exaggerated.

For several years now, Lamborghini has been maintaining this same basic structure and here they have streamlined it to its most basic components.

The shaping of the bodywork is disciplined at close range.

Most of the form is defined through the use of large flat surfaces creating few sharp-edged lines or cuts as they are only present where necessary. The sides of the car do not contain large openings for airflow, instead, the air is channelled through subtle contours along the length of the vehicle.

The lower section of the body is tapered to help guide air to the rear of the car without compromising the overall fullness of the body. Some small triangle-shaped elements and tight channels are incorporated in chessical placement; however, they do not dominate the design.

Overall the car appears & reads as one cohesive piece - that is the true beauty of this vehicle.

The clear layout of the vehicle is evident when you see the layout on the rear of the vehicle. The centre engine location is under the glass and is the primary component of the rear end. With the deck length, flatness and location of the deck above the centre engine it also provides the vehicle with a very long visual mass (or visual weight).

With a thin light strip that runs horizontally, the exhaust piping is well above and separated from the diffuser area. The arrangement of all of the items at the rear of the vehicle, supports the engine which is in turn supporting the rear design.

The exterior of a vehicle has close control throughout its entire front section

The vehicle's front is designed so as to be as compact as possible.

In particular, the nose has lots of upward incline and there isn't as much room for airflow as you might think. The area for light fixtures is integrated and relatively long and low on the overall design of the vehicle in relation to the other portions of the front and overall.

The vehicle is well defined enough within the lines of the design and will look good in relation to the rest of the body but will not be too simple or uninteresting.

Wheels add depth to the design while contrasting against its surface.

Wheels possess a more complex design than a vertical body. As a result, geometric patterns create depth and add interest to otherwise flat surfaces. Due to the fact that these components are assembled as one component, they provide an obvious contrast that is effective in this way.

The wheels support the position of the vehicle and do not distract from the overall appearance of the vehicle.

A concentrated Path

Vettore doesn't try to address everything it can do...it solves on a hand full of issues/task. The proportions establish the car. The surfaces are kept consistent. The V12 engine is located in the centre of the platform. This level of consistency gives the car its unique character.
