Coatl (also spelled cohuatl, couatl, or cuatl) is a Nahuatl word meaning “serpent”. It is the name of one of the day-signs in the Aztec Calendar.
The Feathered Serpent is a prominent supernatural entity or deity, found in many Mesoamerican religions. It is still called Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs, Kukulkan among the Yucatec Maya, and Q’uq’umatz and Tohil among the K’iche’ Maya.
The double symbolism used by the Feathered Serpent is considered allegoric to the dual nature of the deity, where being feathered represents its divine nature or ability to fly to reach the skies and being a serpent represents its human nature or ability to creep on the ground among other animals of the Earth, a dualism very common in Mesoamerican deities.
The Couatl is a Dungeons and Dragon monster that was introduced to the table-top role playing game in the 2nd edition Monster Manual. It is described as a 12-foot-long (3.7 m) feathered serpent native to jungle regions, of lawful good alignment, with great magical and psionic power. Based on the creature from Mesoamerican religion.
The Lamborghini Coatl is a concept car built in Mexico by Automoviles Lamborghini Latinoamérica S.A. ALLSA is a company which in 1995, actually received permission from Automobili Lamborghini SpA to both distribute and build Lamborghini’s in Mexico, The United States and all the Latin American States including the Caribbean.
It took four years to design and built the first Lamborghini Coatl. It has a top speed of no less than 385 Km/h (234 Mph) and an acceleration of 0 to 100 Km/h of 3.54 seconds (about 61 Mph).
