New super-saloon from Lamborghini gets its Paris unveil
After several weeks of teasing, we finally know the identity of the all-new model from Lambo. This is the Estoque, a four-door, four-seater concept. Expect a production version to not look much different, though, so long as public reaction isn't too negative. It clearly fits in with the existing Gallardo and Murcielago model ranges, and even has hints of Countach about its front-end.It's front-engined, four-wheel drive and will likely use a V10 power plant. Oddly for a Lambo, practicality and spaciousness are promised, and are achieved via a long wheelbase, which allows the car's height to stay low and keep the Estoque in line with the rest of the brand's models.
And if you're wondering, the name Estoque is derived from the term for a 35in sword used by a matador in bull-fighting. A typically Lamborghini name, then. The car is a concept for now, but in the company's words, they wouldn't produce a concept that couldn't be feasibly built.
Exciting, or just plain silly? The forum's the place to tell us about this, and anything else that's being revealed in Paris.
