Lamborghini Estoque 4 Dr Sedan

By canadianpontiacguy

Lamborghini owners must be aging, because the company just unveiled a concept four door at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. This design language--using sharpened lines, black mesh air intakes, and LED exterior lights--looks to be the new direction for Lamborghini as it considers adding a third model to the existing Gallardo and Murcielago line-up.

Although, according to Lamborghini's news release, the Estoque could be used to take the children on a weekend trip, the model features the same tech that makes its existing cars so desirable, including all-wheel-drive. No particular engine is specified, but Lamborghini suggests the car could use the V-10 found in the Gallardo LP 560-4, or a turbocharged V-8 derived from the same engine. Unlike the Gallardo, this engine would be placed in front of the cabin, rather than behind it, but Lamborghini insists this is still a mid-engine placement.

Still keen on bull-fighting, Lamborghini chose the name for the concept from the rapier matadors use when facing a bull. Lamborghini's Estoque concept has 22-inch wheels, yet is only four and a half feet high. For instrumentation, the Estoque gets a large LCD, and the driver can choose different displays, such as virtual analog gauges or a digital read-out. Route guidance is also shown on this display. According to Lamborghini, a rear seat entertainment system would be available, because, of course, the children will get bored when riding in the back of the Estoque.

What these two gentlemen below forget is the late (and pretty much un-lamented) Lamborghini LM-002, which was pretty much an Italian Hummer H-1 before there ever was such a thing!

Is it just me, or does anybody else see a distinct Ferrari look to the front bumper of the Estoque?
