Frank Lamberty talks us through the unlikely inspirations behind his uniquely German mid-engine sports car design.
The chance to pen a mid-engine supercar is every car designer's dream assignment, and it's generally one that must be earned through competition. A young Frank Lamberty won just such a competition not long after the Volkswagen Group purchased Lamborghini and assigned responsibility for its management to subsidiary Audi.
Audi understood, as had Lamborghini's two previous owners, that the brand desperately needed a replacement for the V-8 Jalpa that ceased production in 1988. Chrysler developed a Gandini-designed V-10-powered P140 prototype, which subsequent owner Megatech continued work on, including a restyle by Italdesign, dubbed Calà, but neither could make the business case pencil out without a higher-volume model to help amortize the development costs.
