Yikes! Lamborghini Alar official pics
Click image for additional pics (including hires version of the above) in our gallery.
When we first saw the initial rendering of Joan Ferci's Lamborghini Alar, a Diablo-based special that's somehow allowed to retain the Lamborghini nameplate, we knew it'd be pretty ugly. Now, Argentina Auto Blog, the site that brought us the original rendering, has ponied up what are reportedly the first official shots of the car, and it's just about what you'd expect.
Looking like the bastard child of a Pontiac Banshee cross-bred with leftover elements from H.R. Giger's original Alien designs, the Alar is, by all appearances, a waking nightmare on four wheels.The hammerhead shark-like nose is particularly weird-looking. Ironically, there are people who go out of their way to build kit cars that look like real Diablos. Here you have a case where perfectly good Diablos will be sacrificed in order to make them look like wacky kit cars. The mind reels.

Cool. This car will fit in nicely with the quality acting of the future cast of “Cannonball Run 3.”

The designers of this car should be sent to an island where they'll never be able to hurt anyone ever again!

Are those altezza-style lights off a last-gen Integra in the rear shot of the car in the gallery?

jeez you guys are gonna flame me for this. but i
dont think it's bad. it's kind of cool. at least they are looking to break free from the norm and its not another 'looks just like' super car. sure the back looks like a wet cat, but that is one mean looking wet cat.
i think it is kind of wicked in a 'Hot Wheels car i always wanted' kind of way

I almost forgot. Isn't Alar the chemical they put on apples that supposedly caused cancer? If so, Alar is an appropriate name for this car. It took a good thing like a Diablo and metastisized into something malignant.

I thought the front end was the ugliest part of the car until I saw the back end. What's with the oval rear window and the spider webs coming out of it? Looks like the logo for some evil galactic dictatorship in a bad sci fi flick.
