The terminal for the exhaust system terminal has been integrated into the rear bumper diffuser. The lights in the rear heighten the distinctive characteristics of this super car and serve to make it unambiguous, even in the darkness of night. The section behind the right side air intake is pretty much closed, the left has an immense opening to cool the oil radiator. This, incorporated with the well-defined aerodynamics of both the front and the rear, serves to prove that the Lamborghine is ruled by functionality.
