Earlier this month Lamborghini surprised the automotive world by announcing plans to unveil a brand new concept at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. Following the announcement were the release of a number of teaser shots and plenty of speculation and early reports hinting at what the new model could be.
We can now finally confirm that Lamborghini’s new model will be a four-door saloon as previewed by the 2008 Estoque concept vehicle that will be on display at this week’s Paris Motor Show. The Lambo saloon will go up against premium four-doors currently being developed by the likes of Aston Martin and Porsche, and is expected to be first revealed in production trim late next year or in early 2010.
The new concept car measures 5.15m in length and is distinguished by its low profile, Reventon style front bumper and tail-lights, vented bonnet and LED elements. Inside, there’s space for four adults, LCD instrument panels, and a trunk with enough space for several golf-bags.
Under the front hood - unusual for a Lamborghini - sits the 560hp 5.2L V10 engine from the Gallardo LP560-4, however, Lamborghini has revealed that the future production model could feature anything from a V12 TDI to a V8 hybrid.
Lamborghini will reportedly build as many as 3,000 units per year - a tiny figure by the competition's standards, but a rather large increase in the carmaker’s yearly totals, nearly tripling its total volume. Inside sources have revealed that the Estoque concept is almost ready for production, and will likely feature a smaller engine than the current 5.0L V10 powering the Gallardo, with drive sent to all four wheels. Its platform will likely be an all-aluminum design shared with the next-generation Audi A8 but there will be enough unique features to ensure the Lamborghini remains a performance thoroughbred.
