#108 One Day, One Car

Today from Italy with this unique concept car by Bertone made for the brand Lamborghini in early 80's...

The car? The Lamborghini Athon

This concept car imagined for Lamborghini was the first ever full creation, i.e the design, the body, and the engine of Bertone, the Italian car styling company with at that moment a French designer Marc Deschamps.

The Egyptian God of the Sun was the inspiration for the name of this model...

Did you know?

At the beginning of 80's, Lamborghini faced a financial crisis and could not bring this model into production... But even without being manufactured in a series, this model the Athon contributed to Lamborghini's renaissance... How? By attracting people and the interest in the brand during hard moments.

The price? This version was sold on the auction in 2011 for 51 BTC (current BTC / USD value).
