It’s really difficult to imagine what definite post-apocalyptic scenario the ARMORTRUCK concept was designed for because truth be told, it looks like the kind of vehicle that could survive any sort of problem you throw at it. Designed by concept artist Milen Ivanov, who’s body of work involves clients like Rimac, Vilner, Dreamworks, and even the Fast and Furious franchise, the Armortruck looks like the lovechild of a Cybertruck and the Batmobile from Nolan’s Batman, on steroids.

Designed really as more of a conceptual car rather than something that even dreams to be street-legal, the ARMORTRUCK is a hulking 2000 horsepower beast that comes with an aggressive outer design featuring low-poly paneling that’s designed to make you shudder first and admire later. Given how incredibly broad the car is, gullwing doors open vertically allow you to enter and exit the vehicle, primarily because you’d possibly struggle for door-opening space in a parking lot. The car comes equipped with insane off-road tires and fog-lights, and sort of does a hat-tip to the Cybertruck with its linear tail-light. On the inside, the ARMORTRUCK paints a different picture, with luxurious leather and Alcantara seats as well as a touchscreen dashboard. Designed to provide you with comfortable conditions on the inside, regardless of how harsh and brutal the world outside is, the car even has HVAC exhaust fans on the top to keep the car’s interiors cool and comfy at all times, while passersby cower with fear and unquestioningly get out of your way.

Meet the Concepto X, a 3D exploration by Bulgaria-based Milen Ivanov. There isn’t much to really dissect this as far as the car goes, because honestly, it’s just a form-exercise, but it’s a pretty neat form exercise that captures Lamborghini’s ‘essenza’ if you will. Take a second to cover the Lamborghini logo with your thumb and it still looks undeniably Lambo-ish. Here are a couple of reasons how Ivanov managed to do it.

First off, edgy, chiseled exteriors and an interplay of yellow with black trims is just a very signature Lamborghini move. The Concepto X does exactly that, with the amber-colored paint job and a black trim at its base. The Concepto X also comes with Lamborghini’s signature ‘Y’ shaped lights, not just on the back, but even on the front. Some would argue that these glowing lights alone are enough to be able to identify a Lamborghini in the dark. The Concepto X even ditches the rear windshield for its signature patterned air-intakes that became popular with the Aventador and Huracan. Speaking of air intakes, the angled intakes at the very front, right below the headlights scream Lamborghini too. I’m not particularly fond of the rims on the car’s wheels, but I’d leave that possibly to the designer’s own personal sense of style. If I had something more glaring to point out, it would probably be the fact that the Concepto X doesn’t have any doors or entry-points but hey, it’s just a form-exploration concept. And a pretty desirable one at that.
