Citing itself as “creators of dreams for the next generation,” Lamborghini seems to be more than comfortable taking the initiative to blow the ceiling off of what we’ve come to expect from even the most progressive (and technologically advanced) sports car makers. It’s an MIT collaboration that was described as a “thinking box,” rather than an actual production car. It’s powered by four traction motors, one located within each wheel. Those motors—powered by supercapacitor technology—allow for an instant (and generous) well of power from which the traction motors may tap. Given the fully-independent nature of the drive system, each wheel can be precisely accelerated (or slowed) on demand, effectively making this baby handle like a Formula 1 car.
