It's raining hypercars in 2019, and here we are with no umbrella. The latest is a track-only Lambo V12, on its way for 2020, and we've got to start asking the question: have we, as a collective society, got enough hypercars yet?

If a material is going to be used for implants or prostheses, it had better be tough. The carbon fiber produced by Lamborghini may be up to the task, so samples will soon be headed for the ISS – to be tested in the harsh conditions of outer space.

While some electric powertrains on show at IAA 2019 are found in simple everyday commuters, many of them are in full-blown performance machines.

The Urus is a unique beast. What other family SUV, after all, would get its own race series? Its 650-horsepower twin-turbo V8 was already a stark anomaly in its class, but there's always going to be somebody who wants more, more, more, and ABT is happy to provide just that.

When Lamborghini introduced the 640-hp Huracán Evo back in January, the last thing we reckon most people were thinking was, "Boy, hope they build an off-road version." But that didn't deter Lambo from doing just that, developing the lifted, ruggedized Sterrato, a one-off concept car.

Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este has been held annually at the palatial 16th-century villa on Lake Como since 1929.​ As a setting for a celebration of automotive heritage, there could be no finer location, as the former royal residence is world-renowned for its terraced Renaissance gardens.​

Ares Design has started limited run production of its Panther ProgettoUno, a US$700k homage to the 1971 De Tomaso Pantera based on the guts of a Lamborghini Huracan. It looks terrific, goes like a Lambo - and yes, it rocks those classic pop-up headlights.
