Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: Photo leaks

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Leaked Photo So far, we’ve had every sort of Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 story you could imagine in the run-up to a new car launch, from speculation over the name to disguised cars running around Europe, and all the way on to last week’s ‘Official’ spy video of the LP700-4. Now, with just a week to go before the Geneva Motor Show – and print media wanting to get their copies on to newsstands as the LP700-4 launches, the chances of a leak or three increase hugely. We’ve benefited once or twice from anonymous photos of new cars in our Inbox, but today its the turn of WCF who’ve had a scan drop in of Evo’s Croatian edition showing a top view of the new Lamborghini from a reader.

CCS Ford Model T project

This past semester, eleven junior-level College for Creative Studies (CCS) Transportation Design students were asked to reinterpret an automotive icon: the Ford Model T. Over the course of the 16-week semester the students created 11 different concepts for a Model T for the future without forgetting the underlying principle - creating an icon that would have equal significance and social impact like the 100 year old original.   On April 30 each of the students presented their research, sketches, renderings and one- quarter scale models judged by Peter Horbury, Ford Executive Director of Design, The Americas and Pat Schiavone, Ford's Design Director for North America Trucks and CUVs. The winning concept, which the judges thought best embodied the spirit, innovation and sociological impact equal to that of the original Model T, was created by Dong Tran, of Cicero, New York.
