Lightbulb Lamborghini unveils Estoque Concept (pg. 3)



We got a short email from our friends in the press department at Lamborghini today. It was just a short note that they'll be at the Paris motor show in early October, along with a teaser photo of a vehicle--in this case, the exhaust tips.

That's all we know at this moment. So look for clues in the photo and tell us what you think.

Something new from Lambo!?! Have any ideas as to what it might be?

What type of Lambo is it gonna be?

A new production vehicle? A special edition? The rumored 4-door Lambo crossover wagon?

Checking the Lambo forums, many say its a teaser of the Murci LP640 SV.

The new tagline? "Its a New World".

The trunk lines don't match either the Murcielago or the Gallardo. It has to be something new. I'm excited

Default 2008 Paris Auto Show Preview: Lambo, Porsche Four-Doors To Face Off in Paris


Lamborghini is expected to unveil a four-door Gran Turismo at the upcoming Paris show to square off against the new Porsche Panamera.


Porsche Panamera is expected to make its official debut at the Paris show, ahead of its 2009 production launch.

PARIS — Two of Europe's top sports-car marques will shift their ongoing battle to new turf at the upcoming 2008 Paris Auto Show, where Porsche and Lamborghini both are expected to unveil new high-performance four-doors.

Lamborghini on Tuesday released a teaser image of its as-yet-unnamed and -unspecified vehicle, which insiders have described broadly as a "grand touring" car — that is, a high-performance sedan. The automaker, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen group, revealed no details about the car, referring to its October 1 press conference at the Paris show.

The Lambo teaser appears to show a portion of the vehicle's rear end, detailing a carbon-fiber diffuser shrouding center-mounted dual exhaust pipes.

A day earlier, Porsche released a teaser shot of the 2010 Panamera, which goes on sale next year in Europe and North America. It is expected that the car, described by Porsche as a Gran Turismo, will make its official debut at the Paris show, perhaps as a thinly disguised concept.

What this means to you: Who knows what will happen next, now that Porsche has seized financial control of VW? — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

They released another teaser image. Looks a lot smoother than most of Lamborghini's recent designs.

Side vents can be for the fender wells too.
