Initially slated for a production run of 100 units, the Concept S faced an unforeseen fate. The complexities of production and the staggering costs involved led Lamborghini to halt production after completing just one exemplar. Yet, this solitary specimen stands as a testament to the brand's daring spirit and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive design.

What sets the Lamborghini Concept S apart is its striking open-air cabin, adorned with a distinctive windshield that curves gracefully above the heads of its occupants. Adding to its allure, the insulation barrier between the driver and passenger seats is meticulously crafted from metal, underscoring the car's fusion of form and function.

Beneath its sculpted exterior lies a heart of pure power: a 5.0-liter V10 engine reminiscent of the legendary Gallardo. With an awe-inspiring output of 520 horsepower delivered to all four wheels, the Concept S promises a driving experience like no other, where every twist of the road becomes an exhilarating adventure.

However, despite its unparalleled pedigree, the Concept S faced an unexpected twist in its journey. In a highly anticipated auction event hosted by RM Sotheby's in New York, the supercar failed to find a new owner. With estimated price tags ranging from $2.4 million to $3 million, potential buyers balked at the perceived risks and exorbitant costs associated with owning such a rare gem.
This turn of events cast a shadow over the fate of the Concept S, leaving enthusiasts and collectors alike wondering about its future. Yet, amidst uncertainty, hope still lingers. With its pristine condition and minimal mileage of approximately 112 miles, this marvel of automotive engineering remains poised for its next chapter.

Yet, its enduring legacy as a beacon of innovation in the world of supercars remains, hinting at future possibilities. *** [EKA [26122015] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WORLDCARFANS | AUTOBLOG | ROAD&TRACK ]
