Lamborghini Genesis

From WOI Encyclopedia Italia

The Bertone Genesis or sometimes referred to as the Lamborghini Genesis was a Bertone designed concept car using Lamborghini parts. It was first displayed to the public at the 1988 Turin Auto Show.

Overall, it looked like a futuristic minivan with gullwing doors in the front and sliding doors in the rear. It was powered by the same 455bhp V12 engine found in the Lamborghini Countach, mated to a 3 speed automatic transmission. It was front engine and rear wheel drive. While the LM002 had recently finished production, freeing up potential assembly space for the Genesis, or a vehicle like it, it was never really intended to go beyond the show car design study.
