There's something about Lamborghini that inspires design students to try and improve what is already one of the world's most exotic supercars. Witness the Badall, Insecta and Conquisto concepts we've written about in the past. Now Italian designer Andrei Avarvarii has come up with a vision for what a Lamborghini could look like in the year 2020. Avarvarii, a master's candidate at Milan's Scuola Politecnica di Design, drew up plans for an eye-popping electric supercar with help from Lamborghini's head of design Filippo Perini. His 2020 Minotauro concept employs four separate electric motors splitting the power 70% to the rear wheels and 30% to the front via a KERS system and Li-Tec flat-cell battery in back of the vehicle. That leaves room for a central seating position for a third passenger in the rear. Triangular exhausts meanwhile not only cool the batteries but also "act like the tubes of a subwoofer, channeling the sound of the electric motors placed behind them."
