Came across this add while skimming through Hemmings...weird i've never heard or seen it before. It has a lamb sticker on the front but it also carries Bertone badging so looks like it could be a one off produced by Bertone. its a really radical design for the 80's.







Hemmings Motor News: Lamborghini for sale

According to the add: 1980 Lamborghini Athon

Offered at auction Chassis No.
S155/01

"260 bhp, 2,996 cc transverse mid-mounted 90° V-8 DOHC, four inverted twin-choke Weber 40 DCNF carburettors, five-speed manual gearbox, independent suspension front and rear with McPherson struts, coil springs and hydraulic dampers with anti-roll bars, Dual-circuit hydraulic brakes, 278 mm discs all around. Wheelbase: 2,455 mm (96.6'')."

Anyone know how many there are or what their worth?

 

its the same size, shape, and color as my original Mitsubishi cell phone.

 

I think Bertone cleared out some of their old one-offs at an auction recently. There were a handful of old Lambo concept cars that went across the block at a recent RM auction. I can't remember what the price was for this one.

 

One off based on the lamborghini silhouette

 

As the man says a concept, also as a point of interest Athon is ancient Egyptian meaning "hymn to the sun".

I'm full of useless information!!!!!!

 

Looks like a retarded Testarossa from the back

 

Pedestrian slasher. The back looks good, but the front needs to go

 

Looks goofy as hell but I'd still rock it.

 

It is bizarre looking, but I still love it. It makes me sad that Bertone sold it, I really wanted to go to the museum and see those cars, including this one.

I've been to the Lamborghini Museums, not only the one where everybody goes but also the one where almost nobody goes, the Ferrucio Lamborghini museum and there where a lot of one-offs so it's probably a real Lamborghini.
I like the car, it looks really futuristic for the 80's.
