If for some bizarre reason Lamborghini is struggling for design ideas, it could do worse than this awesome creation from aspiring Romanian designer Iulian Bumbu.
Bumbu, who trained in Alfa Romeo's styling department, abandoned Lambo's bull-related heritage and looked at insects for inspiration - the Insecta (see what he's done there?) takes its design cues from the little creatures' exoskeletons.
He's combined that armoured shell look with the familiar Lambo geometric angles to create a pretty hard looking interpretation of a future Gallardo.
The mid-engined, two-seater measures up in size to the current LP560-4 and has been designed with the same 552bhp, 5.2-litre V10 powertrain in mind.
Will they build it? Unlikely. But can you imagine a real Lambo inspired by the marriage of a bull and a scary-looking insect? Your comments below, please...

It looks freaking insane!!! In a really really cool way!! I'ld love to see it built. And Lamborghini are the only car manufacturers right now who've actually got the balls to put radical designs into production. But do they have the money is a different story!!

This is nice... Seriously nice. I think it is the best supercar design since the Birdcage 75th. It manages to be sexy and original in the world of wedge. Too bad the current Gallardo (and the one before it) are both just... well they are BAD. The Insecta is the way to for Lamborghini.

A proper Lamborghini should never look this sad.
