Lamborghini Cnossus Concept
Every Lambo needs a bull theme, and this supercar design study is named after the ancient Greek city, Cnossus (Knossus) – home to the legendary half-man, half-bull Minotaur. This here is the Lamborghini Cnossus. The Lamborghini Cnossus Concept was designed by Russian student Victor Filipchenko with the help of his Portuguese colleague Nelson Simoes as part of their final thesis project at Italy’s Scuola Politecnica di Design.

The designers claim to have been inspired by the Lamborghini Countach, though it is evident that the edgy styling of the limited production Reventon special also played a role in the design of the Cnossus Concept.

Presenting a bold vision of what the firm’s future flagship could look like, the concept takes inspiration from Lamborghini models past and present, including the Countach and Reventón. Designers say they are inspired by the Lamborghini Gallardo Countach, but it is clear that angular styling Reventon special limited production also plays a role in shaping the Lamborghini Cnossus Concept.

It boasts many classic cues such as telephone-dial wheels lifted from the Countach, scissor doors and gaping air intakes in front of the rear wheelarch.

At the rear, the thin strip of LED lights with inverted arrows at the end is a clear nod towards the Reventón’s jet-fighter theme, while the diffuser looks more like something you’d find on a Le Mans prototype racer than a road car.
