Designer Luc Donckerwolke at Centro Stile Lamborghini


The Lamborghini Concept S was first introduced as a non-running design study at Geneva Motor Show in 2005. It was conceived of by then-head of design Luc Donckerwolke at Centro Stile Lamborghini, and introduced as an extreme interpretation of an open-top spyder version of the Gallardo. Mr. Donckerwolke gave the Concept S a modern rendition of the classic single-seater racing car, albeit with twin cockpits side-by-side.

After the Concept S received significant public interest at the Geneva Motor Show, the decision was made to build a functional version. The initial prototype model remains at the Lamborghini museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

Description[]

The only fully operable Concept S example, which was based on the Gallardo platform, made its public debut at the Concorso Italiano. It had several different design elements including the re-designed so-called ‘saute-vent’ windscreens which were lowered for homologation reasons. These screens visually divide the cabin into two distinct compartments, along with providing the car with a futuristic and aggressive look.

It also severed as an additional air inlet for the 520 horsepower V10 engine, which is positioned behind the occupants. The aerodynamics of the Concept S were further optimized by the use of front and rear spoilers and a large rear diffuser.

Production[]

The Concept S was initially intended for production, then decided to produce a limited run of 100 examples for favored customers. However, the exceedingly high cost and time-consuming production of the Concept S ultimately ended with the first example also being the last.
