It's body weighs relatively the same as a Diablo at 1200 kg. Initial Reports suggest the Alar could top 223 MPH (358.9 km/h) and could reach 0-60 MPH (100 km/h) in 3.5 to 4 Seconds, but subsequent official brochures has outlined its specifications. The estimated top speed of the Alar is 254.2 MPH (410 km/h) and 0-60 MPH (100 km/h) is achievable in 3.6 Seconds.[3]
Styling
Although it shares the same platform and engine as the Lamborghini Diablo its outer styling is completely different. Its styling is reminiscent of the Lamborghini Coatl, which is another car produced by Lamborghini LatinoAmerica and designed by Joan Ferci. Like the Alar the Coatl is also based on the earlier Diablo.
