In February, we reported that Lamborghini was beginning an all-new bespoke design program called “ad personam”.

The bespoke program allows buyers to add their personal touch to literally any part of the car you can imagine, from doorsills to infotainment controls.

Dual-color paint jobs are a new option, in case you can’t choose between yellow and black. New floor mat and seatbelt colors have been included, to officially make the Ad Personam program the closest possible thing to making your Lambo ‘perfect’.

Since the introduction of the new program, Lamborghini has built its first custom model. It’s called – drumroll please – the Nazionale, which is Italian for “National”.

Set for unveil at the Beijing Motor Show later this month, according to Motor Authority, the car will probably be highlighted with the colors of the Italian flag. You know, if the 6.5-liter, 691 horsepower V12 weren’t showy enough.

As soon as the full images of the Nazionale hit the web we’ll be sure to bring them to you. So be sure to check back often.

Lamborghini’s first EV will be ‘mature’ and based on the Taycan, report says

Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster

Lamborghini has hinted that it will eventually launch an electric car, but that first all-electric model may not be one of the Italian automaker's traditional supercars. Lamborghini is planning a four-door "grand tourer" based on the Porsche Taycan, Autocar reports.

Lambo is working on a fourth model to join the Aventador and Huracán supercars and Urus SUV, Maurizio Reggiani, the automaker's research and development boss, said in an interview with Autocar. The timing of that fourth model, which won't launch for a few more years, means that it will be the "right time" for an electric powertrain, Reggiani said.

DieselGate continues to haunt Volkswagen as massive class-action suit is filed

Owners still have a long way to go before they see compensation

A case has been brought by the Federation of German Consumer Organizations against Volkswagen in which 470,000 owners of the 2.0-liter TDI EA189 engine are seeking compensation due to the company's diesel emissions scandal. The scandal was uncovered in 2015 via a tip from European researchers to the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.

The scandal centered around Volkswagen's emission computer. which was programmed with different parameters depending on whether the vehicle was driving normally or under an emissions test cycle. In an emissions cycle, the emission system would react normally allowing Volkswagen to claim it had "Clean Diesel" engines to combat electric and hybrid competitors. In normal driving conditions, the emissions system would shut down, allowing for better power and mileage, while also creating emissions up to 40 times the legal limit.

Ferdinand Porsche was 100 years ahead of his time with his 1900 hybrid

It was 2010, at the famed Nürburgring, motor sports complex in Germany, when the first hybrid racer, the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid, debuted. In 2015, based on lessons learned on the 911, Porsche AG fielded an endurance racer, the 919 Hybrid, which took the first of three victories in a row at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With all that success, you might think Porsche had discovered some new technology, but Porsche started with a hybrid way back in 1900. Yes, 1900.
