This is one wild beast! It was unveiled in 2017 as a concept car created by Lamborghini with collaboration from M.I.T. I didn't even know the die cast existed until I saw it durring an evening of on-line shopping.
The vehicle's technology was developed by Lamborghini's professional engineers and MIT's professors and students, and was unveiled at the EmTech conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Lamborghini's chief technical officer, Maurizio Reggiani stated that the car is more of a "thinking box" than an actual production car. He also stresses that the car doesn't confirm that the company will not be directly going with vehicles powered by electricity.
The Terzo Millennio uses high-capacity supercapacitors in lieu of batteries, due to their more rapid storage and discharge of energy. These supercapacitors have been made to simultaneously capture and release energy to give the car an increase in performance, without having to depend on chemical reactions. Each wheel, the rims of which glow orange, contains an electric motor, so that the amount of torque can be controlled individually, making the car's stability as good as a modern Formula One car. Because there is a motor on every wheel, the car's layout would be all-wheel drive. (courtesy of Wiki)
When I was unboxing the car, I laughed that the printing on the lower front wing probably said "No Step." After I put my glasses on, sure enough that is what is says.
