The Lamborghini Estoque, while still only a concept car though with a strong chance of seeing production.Since the success of the Maserati Quattroporte and the first images of the still-in-development Porsche Panamera, buyers are told it is o.k., even unique in a crowded field, to have four-door halo sports cars.As a concept, the Lamborghini Estoque represents one of several possibilities for a third model series within the Lamborghini product line-up.Despite its extremely low profile - at a mere 1.35 meters (4.43 feet) high - the Lamborghini Estoque is surprisingly spacious. The secret lies in its very long wheelbase which, in spite of the rearwards positioning of the front mid-engine, enables a relaxed, sporty seating position.The Estoque is a Lambo that can be used every day, that motoring contradiction: a sensible car from Sant'Agata.
Technology
Performance details and specs are slim at this point for the Lamborghini Estoque concept. Notably, Lamborghini has not yet solidified what engine would power the car should it see production. The most likely choice would be the excellent 5 liter V8 which forms the performance base for both the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Audi R8. The cockpit presents the driver with a large-area LCD screen displaying vehicle and route information. A range of presentation formats are available for selection depending on personal preference - a distinctive classical layout with circular instrument dials, or an innovative digital display.As a pure concept car, the Lamborghini Estoque is a design exercise and a further indication of the innovative power of the Lamborghini brand.Top speed could be anywhere from 250 to 320 km/h [155-200mph]. Lamborghini also discusses the possibility that the Estoque could use V-8 hybrid power or maybe even a turbodiesel.
