Make it stop: Lamborghini Alar official brochure
Some of you are still registering some retinal activity after viewing the Alar. For you, the horn of plenty continues to spill forth its fruit: the official brochure for the Alar has been released. It's difficult to tell from Argentina Auto Blog if the brochure is more than two pages -- but what more do you really need to know?
Joan Fercí's creation, with a Klingon's visage and the backside of a Starship Trooper bug, goes on sale in March, 2008. As if the car weren't eye-watering enough, the price -- $750,000 large -- is enough to make anyone reach for the Kleenex. However, for that, you get a top speed of 410 kph (254.2 mph), which either puts it right at the Bugatti Veyron's top speed or a hair above it. Either way, it's nice to know that you'll be able to go fast enough that no one else can see you and hurt themselves.
If it makes you feel any better, know that the Alar didn't spring whole from Ferci's pen like Athena from Zeus' head. Rather, as you can see from the other models (Coatl and Eros GT-1), he has been working up to it, honing his craft, like Michelangelo releasing Moses from the granite slab. Or something like that.

Know the period of mourning that we all go through whenever a Carrera GT, Enzo or Ford GT is damaged or destroyed? That does not apply here, there will be loud cheering and dancing in the aisles (provided nobody gets hurt). These things should all be destroyed now.

410kph? And has it been proved already? Or is it another I-could-beat-Veyron-IF-I-WANTED-TO?

Ugly? Sure. But still prettier than the original.
Lambo never had half the design sense of Ferrari.

"Lambo never had half the design sense of Ferrari"
Which is why the Muria, 9 times out of 10, is called the most beautiful supercar ever made... yeah... i totally agree...

Lambo didn't ever have Ferrari's design sense, well, because they weren't Ferrari! Lambo has a design sense all their own which does them quite nicely.
Now, this bloody atrocity isn't even good enough for the Hot Wheels rejection pile.
Hopefully at 410kph the effects of fast moving air push it back into some sort of resemblance of at least a 'good' looking car. I would settle for 'good' if this is the alternative.

Does this guy SERIOUSLY think that he is going to sell this monstrosity? I hate to sound racist or anything, but is this something that South Americans understand better than I do, or even (heaven forbid) appreciate and demand? I don't get it. I really, really don't. For that much money I could have a whole lot of other, much more timeless cars and still retain my dignity in public.

What if the goofyfuck design is so it can reach that kind of speed for a lot less than the Veyron?

One hit in 50 years. Wow, solid and consistent.
Some might even call it "luck".

They might be able to sell some of these to the owners of Pontaic Azteks who had a few million dollars fall from the sky right to them, and they wanted an exotic that would match their SUV.
