New Lambo!?

[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......

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.

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

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.

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.

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

This new Lambo, could it possibly be the Miura Concept car making it to production?

Dear Friends,

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

Front engined?

4x4 Murcielago Superveloche

Dear Friends,

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.



are we looking at a front engined modern espada? 2+2?

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



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!!!

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.

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

I see no reason why it would be a 4-door.



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



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

[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.)
