RE: Paris '08: Lamborghini Estoque Leaked
Thursday 2nd October 2008
Images of Lamborghini’s Estoque four-door supercar have been leaked on to the internet hours before its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. The Italian carmaker had tried to keep the public fed on a strict diet of teasers before the unveiling but photographs of the complete car have now been revealed.
Paris '08: Lamborghini Estoque Leaked
Lambo's four-door supercar leaked onto web...
The Estoque, named after the sword used by a Matador in a bull fight, is listed as mid-engined because the engine – which could be a turbocharged V8 or even a diesel – sits behind the front axle. The car is incredibly low and sits just 4.43 feet high, but still allows room for four passengers thanks to a long wheelbase. We will bring you more pictures and details when the car is officially launched later today…

I'm a huge fan of Lambo's ever since my early years with a Countach poster on my wall in the 80's.
However, this is a joke!
Lamborghini do not do family cars, 4 seats - WTF!!!
It's pig ugly and makes me sick to even think it will go into production.
My boss used to race Diablo's for a living and he's been lucky to pesonally own more Lambo's than I could ever dream of and he took one look at the pictures and said the same thing.
Lamborghini - NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've heard of the Espada, right?But I do have to agree - that's one ugly car. No wonder Lambo wanted to keep it hidden, it looks like a Gallardo in stretched limo form.
A couple of the smaller (or less vast) 4 seater GTs work - the Quattroporte and the 612 perhaps - but this one, along with the Panamera and, dare I say it, the Rapide don't quite.
On the upside - at least it shows a bit of originality left in the car industry.
Nah this car aint ugly [in fact I love the back end], the problem comes with the front and why supercars makes continue to style their 4-seaters exactly the same as there supercars [Poker, Aston [though the Rapide is sexy as hell] and now Lambo]? All because the Gallardo and Murcielago both have that huge front bumper, it doesn't mean the 4-seater has to as well - they could of done something more delicate, fitting in with this kind of car. They just being lazy in my opinion! Still, it has presence and will look sweeeet on the road!

Know your history - Lamborghini LM002.Lamborghini - NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its as ugly and pointless as the Porsche Panamara and the Aston Martin Rapide.
God thats ugly!!!
Why do car makers in a strong market sector with good history decide to change/add to a line that has worked for years. Lambourghini is about power and presence to me. Family supercar..........No.
If they carry on like this it won't be long before someone like Porsche do a 4x4........Ooops to late!!

They do now so get over it - and I for one like it a lot. I give them credit for being progressive and I wish I could afford it!I don't see the problem?
Lamborghini with enough room for 4 and luggage
Tell me what is better if you are monied?
Lattest M5 - Ugly
Merc E Class - Worst dealership network in the UK
Maserati - Depreciation monster
Audi S8 - Pretty boring
Bentley - Okay that is one of the best
Rolls / Maybach - Not really for driving yourself
I like the Lambo anyway and if I had that allowance for a company car that required 4 doors it would be on my list!

I actually reli like it! its long low and powerful, ok so its no LP640, but then no four door ever is, and as people have said aston and lambo have made four seater cars before, dont know why these ppl are throwing their toys out of the pram?? were you in the market for one? were you really looking forward to buying one? ......No? then stop moaning!
I recon it will be a great car, as will the aston rapide (which is gorgeous!)

erm...just because someone isnt in the market for buying one doesnt mean it takes away their chance to have an opinion. I recon it will be a great car, as will the aston rapide (which is gorgeous!)
That is one of the best looking 4 door cars I've ever seen. Can understand that some people only want 2 door supercars from Lamborghini but if you drop that baggage and just look at it, I can't see how you can say it's ugly. Front vents bit OTT but other than that a very classy, elegant but muscular car. Quite discreet for a Lambo.
