Lamborghini Athon

The Lamborghini Athon is a concept car designed by Bertone for Lamborghini, a drivable, fully functional spider built to show Bertone's lasting support for the company, according to the Turin coachbuilder's press release. Marc Deschamps, a Frenchman, led the design, which deliberately followed the Bertone concept cars of the 1970s, and the name alludes to the Egyptian cult of the sun because the car is an open spider made for fair weather. It uses a 3.0 litre double-overhead-cam V8 from the Lamborghini Silhouette giving 194 kW, a five-speed gearbox, an integral chassis with a steel body and Campagnolo magnesium wheels. RM Sotheby's auctioned it in 2011 for 487,000 US dollars.
