Great little sports car, great design. Most of these dumbasses dont know what they are talking about. Good work. This car is not designed by lamborghini dumass, it a university student from Italy. you think you know your lambos, but in face it is the opposite. dumass. how many times can I say dumbasses.

I don’t quite get the hard angles mixed in with one giant swoopy rear quarter. I’d be lying to myself if I said I didn’t like it. It’s a lambo.

Those wacky Spaniards crack me up.
What will they think of next…sticking a cattleprod into a bull’s ass, lighting that on fire, and putting him on rollerskates before letting him out into a crowded school yard?

Front end: Very Lamborghini. Sharp, agressive. I like it.
Greenhouse: Looks great on the Cadillac Cien, looks like crap here. Check out that massive A pillar. No thank you.
Profile: Sexy
Rear end: Awful. It looks nothing like what a Lamborghini should. Looks like the back of an ATV. I hate it.

All in all this dude may have a lot of potential, but this looks like a Lamborghini from the future that already looks like it was in an accident. There’s WAY too many pointless cut lines and too much “surface excitement.” What’s so gorgeous about the Murciélago is that every cut line has a purpose. Every line is meaningful and leads somewhere. Any Murciélago is massively agressive while also being very harmonious in design. This Empanada, or whatever it’s called, has none of that at all.

Stefan Schulze designed a cool couple of Vector concepts.

Hmm…interesting design. Altough I don’t really like it, it may grow on me. Besides, it’s just a concept.

I just realized this car really looks like it should be in Halo
Also, they should definitely stick some horns on it eventually, that would be awesome! as long as they were solid steel and could ram other cars, close enough to a transformer to me

I think the idea is to actually make this look like a charging bull, which it does reasonably well. Not very stylish in doing so though.

it looks like they cut the front of the Gallardo off and stuck on the back of something…something really bad.

@ meanpants555,
When I was an undergraduate one of the lectures we had involved Gerald Wiegert driving into the courtyard, just in front of the lecture area with a W2. He steps out, and out of the passenger’s side exits a drop-dead gorgeous fashion model with waist-length hair. Wiegert gave a great lecture. He was very amiable and allowed all of us to examine the Vector, sit in it, start it up (no driving it), all while answering all of the many questions we had about every facet of the car. It was a total high for all of us only heightened by the fact that his model/girlfriend would jump into the W2 with us for a photo op, if you wanted. The is no doubt his heart and soul was in the Vector venture. I still believe he was far ahead of his time for the automotive industry. His views on transmissions, and the details of a vehicle were not only interesting; they made a great deal of sense.

I think its EPOCH making!! It has the appearance of a bull, very well done. Styling looks menacing. Now if they could incorporate a rear split spoiler to represent the horns, it would look sick,

I remember my issue of Car & Driver that featured the Vector on the front cover. There was a man in a red jumpsuit and a woman in a purple jumpsuit; they both had on wrap-around sunglasses and the wind was blowing back their sun streaked hair.
Man the eighties were fruity.

@ pumice99,

Yes, it looks very much along the lines of the W2 Vector (a car waaaaaay ahead of its time).

The more I look at it, the more I love it. Yes, I would be caught dead in it. Yes, I would be caught driving it. Yes, I would be caught opening the panel to the engine to show it off. Yes, yes, yes. This is a wicked automobile.

A disgrace to Lambo’s of old, absolutely hideous

When did Vector start designing cars again? Looks like the old W2. I love the 80s.

Ferraris are violent bars of soap. Shaped more by function than aesthetics, which makes them bland. Lamborghini goes for shock and awe.

I just dont get Lamborghini’s. They seem to have fans, but my god i find them ugly.

Aargh. Am I a Lambo hater now or what? The extreme angular surfaces on the Reventon is perhaps forgiveable (but, to me, still not all that likable) because it’s a design theme imposed on a beautiful shape.

But the Embolado evokes in me a Alright-enough-is-enough type of reaction. It’s a first-gen. Toyota MR2 Transformer. I’ve never liked the proportion where the top part of the front end is more forward that the rear portion. I think that weakens the car. And if you look at the front wheel well it looks like body panels from three or four different cars just coming together.

Not a good design in my book. There’s a trace of a curve in the rear fender that I like. The back end also isn’t that bad, like a Gallardo evolution, if anything. All in all, this car doesn’t look like a Lambo, it doesn’t look Italian sexy. Next.

I like the design, but the dimensions need to be reworked.

Amazing. I though the Gallardo looked too “Robotech”.

This actually looks like it could transform into a robot and kick a few doors in. LOL.

I like it. It’s frighteningly different yet utterly cool at the same time. It does look a bit short in length which would help its overall appearance, but this is a cool car.

It look like a fighter plane or a spaceship. I’ll take one in aircraft gray, thanks.

reminds me of the F-117 Stealth Fighter, an amazing (NEW) design.
