The Canto was a proposal for the L147, or
the replacement for the Diablo, from the
famous Italian design house of Zagato.

The Acosta was a proposal for the L147
from the famous designer of the Miura,
and Countach and many other cars, namely
the famous Marcello Gandini !

Back in 2005 when I was at the
Lamborghini Factory, in the Museum, there
was a wonderful poster on the wall that
showed the evolution of the V-12
Lamborghinis up to that time. The Acosta
was represented there with the name:
"Super Diablo".

 

The P 132 is Gandini's Countach replacement and what the Diablo would have looked like if Chrysler hadn't intervened - thank God they did as they made serious improvements to the rear of the car

 

After all these years, the Cala is still one of Lambo's best designs, imo.

 

Yeah i figured that out after a little further reading.. I knew what the Canto was, but the Acosta puzzled me , until last night. I saw the Canto titled Lamborghini L147 Zagato, and the Acosta titled Lamborghini L147 Gandini , and then i knew. I am glad the Acosta did not become reality, as it just looks like a warped Diablo to me. I would of prefered the Canto design. While Gandini has designed many amazing cars, I feel the Acosta resembled a Diablo too much

 

I also liked the Canto.

But I also liked the Acosta/Super Diablo.

How about this angle (from another web site.

 

Wasn't it called Kanto and not Canto?
