2013 Lamborghini Ferruccio

 While we expect a fitting tribute from Lamborghini to mark the 50 years from the day Ferrucio Lamborghini launched the company that bears his name to challenge Ferrari, independent designers have already begun spinning their own tributes.

The Lamborghini Feruccio concept pictured here is the work of Mark Hostler, a transportation design student at Staffordshire University.

Hostler's overly aggressive and hard-edged concept is said to blend the shapes and design details of various Lamborghini supercars from different eras.

These include the low windshield and read end design of the original Countach, the softer and more rounded front fenders of the Miura and the jet-fighter lines of the recent crop of Lamborghinis such as the Reventon and the Aventador LP700-4.

In Hostler's mind, a supercar like the Feruccio concept should combine tradition with modernity and as such, he designed it to be equipped with a 5.0-liter V12 engine featuring twin-turbochargers and a direct-injection system.

You can take a look at the photos and the video of the Lamborghini Feruccio concept right after the break.

Video: Lamborghini Aventador J

In the company's history is also the rarest as only one will be made and sold to a very lucky buyer who will have to write a €2.1 million (US$2.77 million) cheque to the VW Group-owned automaker to the speedster model to his or her collection.

Following the world premiere of the Aventador J at the Geneva Motor Show this week, Lamborghini has released another video of the V12 powered model called "The Making of".

Lamborghini Aventador J Speedster

The Aventador J is an over-the-top speedster-like model that not only does away with the roof, but the windshield as well. Other modifications include an aggressive aero package that includes a front spoiler, side sills, rear diffuser and a rear wing, all finished in black that add an even more dramatic tone to the supercar's design.

It is believed that Lamborghini has further reduced the car's weight by stripping out the interior of any luxury amenities.

We still don't know of the Aventador J uses the same 691bhp (700PS) 6.5-liter V12 as the regular model or if Lamborghini's engineers have further honed the engine, but we guess it won't be long before we find out.
