Lamborghini returns to two wheels, but with pedals and no engine

Anonim

Following a path already taken by other manufacturers, Lamborghini decided to put one foot back on both wheels, after the Design 90 project, although, this time, not with an engine.

The result of a partnership with the French Cervélo Cycles, the Italian brand developed a triathlon bike , made known at the last edition of the Geneva Motor Show, receiving the name Cervélo P5X Lamborghini Edition.

twenty five is the magic number

With a production limited to no more than 25 units, that is, even less than many of Sant’Agata Bolognese's supersports, the Cervélo P5X Lamborghini Edition was designed by the Style Center at Lamborghini. Whose designers chose not only the yellow color, but also the Y pattern on the frame — a graphic motif present in the brand's supercars — which makes the bike clearly stand out as much as any supercar from the Italian brand.

Our Accademia Lamborghini riders have been training at Cérvelo for some time now, so we already have an idea of ​​how special and fast these bikes are. With an exceptional performance, an impressive and innovative design, this collaborative project turns out to be a natural partnership for both brands.

Adding that "our triathletes lead development when it comes to competition, and with this new product, they will be able to stand out in the pack, in an even more empathetic way."
