New Lambo!?

[Ricoloco]

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/16/paris-preview-lamborghini-teases-new-mystery-car/

My guess, a 4-door or a SUV.

[JavierNuvolari]

A Lambo SUV or Jeep would kick ass.

[Mr Balsen]

Modern Espada ? ? ?

It will be a new sports car, not a SUV or Sedan.

murcielago superleggera?

[Bingocaller]

murcielago superleggera?

I would think so yes

[Qisha]

Dear Friends,

let me give a little "tipo", what would you do to be in front? Showing the back... probably...

Qisha ;)

Dear Friends,

Qisha ;)

I wish I understood what that means :)

Meanwhile, from MotiveMag.com :D


At the Paris show, Lamborghini will be releasing a two-door, convertible SUV that manages 250 mph on the ground, 600 mph in the air, or 50 mph under water. Power comes from a nuclear reactor and because of the safety precautions involved in such a means of propulsion, the vehicle will weigh approximately 12,000 pounds. Also, it holds just one passenger. And will cost $12.5 million. Just you watch--it's coming on October 1st, and it'll change the world.

[Leadfoot]

I think it's a smaller sportscar, similar to the Cayman is stature though traditional Lambo, meaning mountain of power (440hp) and priced between the 997 and the Turbo.

After that I would say a 2+2 sportscar to compete with the new Ferrari.

[Damienr8]

It will be a new sports car, not a SUV or Sedan.

Jarod.

I hope you are right. Here are my 2 guesses.

1. Diesel SUV
2. Competitor to the new California.

[RXBG]

i get the Q riddle.

it is a retro style car of some sort that will put lambo back in front of the supercar pack in some way- perhaps thorugh some now defunct but revived tech or principle. maybe a modern day version of an old classic- espada or miura with a diesel engine?

[JavierNuvolari]

Miura with a transverse mounted engine??.

[chewym]

Inside Line says it will be a four door sedan based on the A8. This combination would work well with a 625 hp RS6 engine.

[Ricoloco]

I´ve done some "research" (pulling some strings).

It´s probably NOT a SUV but a new SV version of the LP640 called LP680 with RWD. Will have some of the looks of both the LP560 and the Reventon.

[Damienr8]

But how does your theory go with the signifigance of “It’s not just a new Lamborghini, It’s a new world”

Based on the strength of the quote, I wouldnt consider a model using the same name ie: Gallardo or Murcielago a "New" Lamborghini. I would say its an updated Gallardo or Murcielago.

Well, either way, its coming soon.

[RXBG]

maybe they are replacing the murcielago? a 4 door sedan might be interesting but with bentley, RR's, panameras.... might be silly. then again, since porsche is about to cut the bull's ball's off and audi's tits maybe they'd better put it into production asap.

Well, either way, its coming soon.

I´ve been thinking about that aswell. According to the picture, it´s quite obvious that it´s based on the current LP640. And Lambo has said that there will be another version of that car.

"It´s a new world" could mean two things, i think. Think green. Ethanol? Partly electricity?

Or, maybe, super lightweight, super advanced etc etc.....with some new technology from the Reventon.

[Mr Balsen]

sorry to insist but the pattern of the black grill is very very similar to the one used on the Lamborghini Marzal Concept Car. A 2+2 car which ends up as the Espada.

Take a look at this picture of the Marzal:

Frederic

[RXBG]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i gets it dawg!!!!!!!!!!!!

to be in front of the supercar pack look at the back of the car, where the engine is. there will be something unique back there. perhaps a hybrid powertrain. it will be a 2 seater supercar......

[rks838]

Inside Line says the car was only developed over the past 5 MONTHS. Why would that be? There is no such pressing need for 1) yet another Murciélago variant 2) an SUV?!? uh, no... 3) or another small, true sports car to complement the just-released Gallardo LP560. None of these options justifies the "new world" pitch line, either.

That said, Aston Martin and Porsche, two of Lamborghini's top competitors, are about to release 4-door sport sedans. Why would they wait until 5 months ago to start development of their own? Because they were finishing the development and launching of the Murciélago LP640, the Reventón, and the Gallardo LP-560. That's a lot of work for a company that is not quite GM-sized. However, 5 months of the entire company focusing on one car? That initially sounds unlikely, but given the situation, it's definitely plausible.

So, I'm no expert, but it looks to me like this will be a sport sedan. It's amazing that NOBODY heard of this project until so recently! I would love to see Lambo come outta nowhere and produce a legit competitor to Porsche's Panamera and Aston's Rapide.

[Ricoloco]

Stole this pic from a different place. Check the placing of the exhaust and the rear diffusor.

Talked to my local Lambo dealer and they said no way it is a SUV or Sedan.
They are thinking what Ricoloco is thinking: SV with RWD and just a little under the Reventon power not to piss off the Reventon owners.

[The Pretender]

They have nothing in common the two pics, not even close.

Front engined? :vhmmm:

a little more help. Now... ;)

^in the normal murchi 640 the door starts right after the wheels.... In Quisha's pic there's a lot of room, and room for a long emblem.

Good point, it's like that for the Gallardo too:

http://photo.netcarshow.com/Lamborghini-Gallardo_LP560-4_2009_photo_1d.jpg

Also, I think it might be front-engined. The angle of the nose from that pic makes it seem like it's a totally new model too. Maybe a Panamera rival or like you said - a modern Espada. Hmmmm...looks great so far anyway!!!

[Damienr8]

Dear Friends,

a little more help. Now... ;)

Qisha

Qisha, looks like a 4 door coupe or GT. What are your thoughts?

[The Pretender]

Based on what i know it will not be a 4 door or SUV.
I expect a front engined new style Espada.
Lamborghini's awnser to the Ferrari California.

Jarod.

[rks838]

Hmmm, a California competitor I could believe in, but the lines, all the space behind the door, the long emblem, still look designed for a four-door to me. We'll see :cheers:

http://www.autoweek.nl/images/800/d/8ec53f7b1bc4c83bf00df5bf6179951d.jpg

The California is a 2+2 CC and have also space between wheel and door.

http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/upload/8968/images/3FerrariCaliforniafirstpic.jpg

Further there is no need for a lambo 4-door with the A7 and Panamera coming.

Jarod.

[Lateknight]

I've no idea why everbody assumes this is a 4 door.
I think it will be a 2 door front engined GT. For the same reasons Pretender lists, and it just fits better with Lambourghini.

Any body remember the light blue shortened A8 test mule (about a year ago) that the press claimed would be a Phaeton drophead ?

Looking at the size of the front discs I wouldn't expect anything overtly powerfull (500ps max.)

[JavierNuvolari]

The front overhang looks very small... I would say this new car is a competitor for such as 599 GTB or the other coupe Ferrari has, no idea of the name.

Cheers all, and I don't mean as in etiquette cheers....jajaja...I mean I'm literally having a nice red wine...perhaps too much already...hahaha...take care.

It will be a front engined Lambo in line with the farrari's IMHO.

[inF]

Lambo has modified the second teaser on its official website. In the new one, side blade is different and the front tires' size is masked. It was 295/30/ZR19 which certainly points at a front engine car - it is 235/35 at Gallardo and 245/35 at Murciélago LP640.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/mysterious-teaser-for-new-lamborghini-model-released.html

i would also believe a TT powerplant. gives efficiency and performance. an upgraded RS6 engine making 640 hp and 520 lb/ft torque would do the trick. this is the reason sneaky audi had RS6 mules with this kind of insane power- they were planning this engine for lambo and some upcoming audis, not just the RS6. what i am really curious about now is the tranny. to be truly exceptional this car will need to have a DSG, a DSG that would likely be homologated for various models. could this be the DSG we will see paired with the upcoming 4.0TT in the A6, A7, Q7,and A8? and the RS4/5? :hahahehe:

quick audi. gets these cars out asap before porsche takes out its red marker.

[The Pretender]

How big will this Lambo be, Audi A4, A6 or A8 size.

Actually I don't. But thanks for posting, I had no idea of it mate. Ad fo the Lambo SUVs I was aware of them...those things were insane, I think they had a V12 in them...simply crazy.

The idea of a Lambo Sedan is SOOOOOOOOO much more appealing than a Porsche or a AM sedan. Can0t wait for the pics of it.

Saludos!

That has to be the coolest sedan ever.

[crespo]

The article mentions a supercharged V8... is this what we will see in the RS4/5??

[JavierNuvolari]

A supercharged V8....FTL. It should have the RS 6's engine under the hood, but the hood looks a bit small for it so you're probably right.

[RXBG]

terrible overall. front and rear are bad ass. it's what's in between that kills it. looks like a reskinned maserati quattroporte.

[Damienr8]

terrible overall. front and rear are bad ass. it's what's in between that kills it. looks like a reskinned maserati quattroporte.

I agree just a little. The intakes in the front (a la the LP560-4) are too agressive for such a long car. The back leaves alot to be desires. Hopefully the production car will improve on these elements.

[PeterJohn]

I like it. It looks like a 4door Miura to my eyes.

[MR USER]

This is a car that deserves attention!!! I would love one!

[chilli]

am i wrong when i thought the elepant mirrors are a must have on each car? curieus what it will look like on this one :lovl:

[Leadfoot]

I have not heard anything regarding TDI for this car.

I'm sure the UK magazines have running this idea with all of the press clips, plus WCF wrote something similar.



Following a tantalizing series of teaser images, the Lamborghini Estoque four door concept is finally revealed. Although the images leaked by AutoJournal.fr are low-resolution, we can still see all of the details from numerous angles.

Measuring 5.15 meters long, the unique Estoque, which we dare call a sedan, carries a front end in familiar Lamborghini style with gaping diamond shaped air intake scoops linked by a lower spoiler. The aggressive design caries through into the hood with its v-shaped noise and sharply cut side vents. Under the hood we are likely to find the 560 hp V10 from the Gallardo LP 560-4, and of course with all-wheel-drive.

Although the Estoque is presented in concept form, AutoJournal.fr indicates that a production version is planned to arrive as early as 2010. With the support of parent company, VW Group, variants of the Estoque could include a supercharged V8, a hybrid and even a top-range diesel engine (http://www.worldcarfans.com/9081001.006/lamborghini-estoque-concept-revealed#) – most likely the V12 TDI from the Audi Q7.

The Estoque makes its official appearance this evening in Paris. Stay tuned as we will update all new informations and images as they become available.
