Four Door Lamborghini Estoque first official images

Moses7 · 01-10-2008 2:34pm #1

Estoque measures 5.15 meters in length. Power will most likely come from a 560 hp V10 found in the Gallardo LP 560-4. It will feature an all-wheel-drive just like the Gallardo does.

Production version will arrive early 2010 according to Autojournal.fr. In addition to the V10 from Gallardo, other engine variants could include a supercharged V8, a hybrid and a V12 TDI diesel engine from Audi.

Have to say I think that it looks amazing, shame there is a recession on or I would get a big stinking loan and buy one.

Stevie Dakota · 01-10-2008 2:50pm

Yes, where are all the Lambo trademark styling cues? This looks like a college effort.

I don't think these are the official photos, they've launched 1 photo every few days showing small sections of the car. The full set of photos will not be released until 21.00 CET today!

And it's already been confirmed in an interview that it is a front engined 4dr V12.

Anyway, that's better..

If that's what it looks like then WOW!!! I'm not mad about the side profile, but every other image is amazing. I think the wheels look a little big though, which might give it away as an artists impression?

SuprSi · 01-10-2008 3:19pm

Actually, it looks very like this......

Cormic · 01-10-2008 4:17pm

It does look like an old Lagonda. I am sure from other angles it will improve.

Bandara · 01-10-2008 4:18pm

I love it, the wheels are the dogs

Hotwheels · 01-10-2008 4:43pm

Agree.

Yummy... stylings similar to the Reventón.

smash · 02-10-2008 1:29pm

well so much for the confirmation they gave in an interview that it is a front engined 4dr V12, looks like it does have the V10

qz · 02-10-2008 4:30pm

Looks well but it does not look like a Lambo

rabbitinlights · 02-10-2008 5:56pm

I think it looks amazing except the rear is a little off.

tdc · 02-10-2008 9:35pm

wow - hideous

why did lamborghini do this? i know that some people were pissed about the idea of ferrari producing the california but come on...

why are lambo coming out with a 4 door saloon? this is not what lamborghini is meant to be - its like mcdonalds coming out with salads....oh wait :pac:

i would have actually preffered a lambo SUV

yeah i know, was just thinking a few months ago there were rumors of lambo making a modern LM002 and i just thought "oh no..." but now that ive seen the saloon i wish they made the SUV :pac:

Mr.David · 03-10-2008 12:08pm

I just think its a flawed concept. A Lambo represents the pinnacle of balls-out supercars and to try and introduce a four door saloon is nonsense. I mean, if its a saloon what are the characteristics of it supposed to be? It will have to be refined (to a greater extent than the coupes anyway) and this directly contradicts the lambo image. i really think its flawed. the Aston rapide will be more of a success because they have a "GT" brand image that they can build upon and create a refined saloon without diluting the brand identity too much!

Eoin · 03-10-2008 1:19pm

I do NOT like the rear at all.

+1 completely agree. when people think of lambos they think of over the top, unpractical, crazy design 2 seater supercars - they do not think of ugly, 4 door family saloons. i didnt think it was possible for lambo to sell out and lose its appeal but i guess this is the beginning

superboy · 03-10-2008 3:41pm

My opinion is yes yes yes!! It looks amazing. Has no-one here heard of the Lamborghini Espada (a four seater GT). Granted they have been making only mental supercars for the last twenty years or so, but they started out with GTs. (350 and 400GT). real Lambo buyers will remember.......

fantastic looking car

Front grill, rear lights and wheels look VERY Lambo, maybe they're going for a curvier looking image to make the car more attractive to the people they're targeting the car at...Rich older men with kids. Rich younger men would just get a Murciélago! I think it looks the tits! Wheels are amazing

@ Mr.David, very true but Audi owns em now, ther're obviously trying to make it more sensible! I this this car looks super cool all the same, far better looking than the Ferrari 612

tdc · 03-10-2008 4:25pm

it wont look good in lime green, yellow or orange so its not a real lambo in my eyes! :pac:

Very good point to be fair! Drove a yellow Gallardo on a track in England and even though it was on a track, I felt cool!
