Exciting and provocative design from Sant’Agata is standard operating procedure; what makes this example stand out is its plug-in-hybrid powertrain. Gas-fired power flows from a naturally aspirated, longitudinally mounted, 602-hp 5.2-liter V-10 engine mounted amidships. In between the engine and the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (that part of the powertrain is similar to the one used in the Huracán) rests an integrated starter motor and generator, which sends its output to two additional electric motors mounted on the front axles. This setup provides two benefits: In hybrid mode, four-wheel drive is constant and independent of the battery’s state of charge; in electric-only mode, the front wheels provide all the propulsion. Lamborghini says the Asterion is good for 31 miles of city travel in electric-only mode, with a top speed of 78 mph. In full-hybrid mode, combined output measures 897 horsepower, enough to launch the Asterion from rest to 62 mph in a claimed three seconds flat and on to a top speed of 199 mph.Via: http://blog.caranddriver.com/its-its-beautiful-lamborghini-reveals-897-hp-asterion-lpi-910-4-hybrid-supercar/
