Cars in Hell

The next generation of Lamborghinis could act as their own superpowered batteries and be able to repair themselves. Automobili Lamborghini unveiled its Terzo Millennio (“third millennium”) concept car at the EmTech conference in Cambridge, Mass., on Monday. The car is the product of the first 12 months of a three-year partnership between the automaker and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. True to Lamborghini tradition, the car has a lean, windswept design and the brand’s trademark Y taillights. The windshield seems to extend from the top of the car almost to the driver’s toes, and the body crouches so low it almost looks like an outgrowth of the road. But the most remarkable aspects of the car are invisible—not least because they don’t exist yet.
