Lamborghini's next V-12 supercar is coming soon with 1,000 hp from a V-12 plug-in hybrid setup.
The powertrain configuration has provided Lamborghini with new opportunities when it comes to how power is directed to and from the wheels, and has enabled engineers to cook up 13 different driving modes.
The LB744 features a newly developed 6.5-liter V-12 mounted in the middle of the chassis, and paired to a new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that's mounted behind the engine in a transverse position, instead of longitudinally and in front of the engine like in the Aventador.

Used BMW M1 Factory test car Only 22087 km, Stunning condition throughout! Inka orange color scheme for saleIt is in the late 1970s when BMW starts a collaboration with Lamborghini to produce a homologation model so that it can race in the Group 5 class and compete against rivals such as Porsche. At that time, however, it was not feasible for BMW to build four hundred cars, so contact was made with the Italian sports car manufacturer. Even before the project properly starts, Lamborghini is in financial trouble and it seems that the sports car designed by Giorgietto Giugiaro will not materialize. A handful of ex-employees of ‘the brand with the bull’ started the company ItalEngineering, mainly as a mediator so that the cooperation between BMW, ItalDesign and Baur in Stuttgart runs smoothly. Baur is the party that takes care of a large part of the production. Baur receives the partly already built M1 from Italy to partly dismantle it and completely finish it. Under the tailgate a 3,453 cc measuring DOHC straight-six engine with Bosch Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. 277 hp strong and coupled to a five-speed manual ZF gearbox. After the men in Stuttgart have finished, the cars move once more to BMW in Munich to be handed over to the first owners in a specially equipped room. 399 road-going M1s will be built. The M1 you see here is the third example built according to factory production data and the first production car to be delivered to a dealer in Germany. Initially this Inka Orange is used as a training car at BMW service centres and then it is sold to BMW adept and racing driver Alf Gebhardt. Gebhardt had been successfully driving a CSL and M1 Procar since 1978 and had close ties to BMW, which led him to acquire this street version of the M1. Gebhardt owned the car for about 6 years, driving about 1,000 kilometres a year. The second owner was at least as much of a lover of special BMWs as Gebhardt, because this man owned the M1 for thirty years! After thirty years, so quite recently, the owner gave up and the car was completely checked and tested. Since the car ha
