    Default Lamborghini "Etsoque" - 4 door model to bow at Paris Motor Show

    Porsche Pana-who?

    From Autoblog:

    Lamborghini has spent the last few weeks tantalizing us with teasers of its front-engine, four-door concept, but that comes to an early end today as a French website has unceremoniously revealed the concept we've been calling the Estoque. Though the images in our gallery are low-res, we can still make everything out. The Estoque features a long hood and short rear deck, with horizontal headlights up front and a pair of big Reventon-style air intakes in the front bumper. The fender vents behind the front wheels are tucked into the car's character line that flows back until it hits those wide rear haunches. Thanks to those teasers we had already figured out what the rear end would look like, and all those guesses were fairly spot on. The rumormills are telling us to expect the 560-hp V10 from the Gallardo LP 560-4 underhood, as well as all-wheel-drive. Though it's showing up as a concept at the Paris Motor Show tomorrow, the Estoque is said to be destined for production as early as 2010 to compete with the new crop of four-door coupes from Porsche (Panamera) and Aston Martin (Rapide). We'll have live shots from the official unveiling early tomorrow morning, so stay tuned.

    What's up with the new Camaro rear end and taillights? I'll still take a dual GT35R V10 M5 and cash.

    I bet the Lambo still doesn't suck down as much gas as a RX-8 though

    The air conditioning probably doesn't smell like burnt insulation either.

    Meh. I carpool with the wife and leave the '8 at home most of the time these days, so I've got 3 out of 3... and on regular gas in a car with room for more than two people and a sack lunch.

    I haven't had a sack lunch since the 4th grade. I can actually carry 2 golf bags in the Elise as well.

    Hi-res shots from the paris Auto Show reveal here on Autoblog




    I sure as hell wouldn't kick one out of my garage. Makes an M5 look like a Kia, imho.

    It's not bad for a 4-door.... but it's hideous for a Lamborghini.

    Almost as bad as these (all Lambos)...
