Gearhead Picks From Paris - Lamborghini Estoque

Starting a couple of weeks before the Paris show, Lamborghini started releasing pictures of the thing in parts. I must say they created quite a buzz about it. At Paris they finally unveiled the Estoque concept, named after a kind of sword used by matadors.


Lamborghini is calling this low, four door, four seater an ‘everyday sports car’. With that long wheelbase that might be stretching it a bit. Permanent four wheel drive is present and those 22 inch wheels look sinfully gorgeous. Power might come from the V10 from the LP 560-4 or a turbo V8 derived from the same. An economical option could be a V8 with a hybrid module or for the first time in Lambo history a high performance diesel.

The front end carries the current Lambo design theme with those sharp looking air ducts in front and the Reventon inspired tail lamps. At 5.15 meters long it is almost as long as an S-Class and at 1.35 meters high, it is well, not that high.

If it goes into production, and I don’t see why it shouldn’t, the Panamera and the Rapide will have something of a tough fight at hand.
