The 4-door Lamborghini Looker From The Paris Auto Show
The Lamborgini Estoque has surprised the exotic car world when it let loose its 230000 fourdoor sports car. Some onlookers at the 2008 Paris Auto show liked it and some liked it just as much as the Murcielago. At the moment designers consider it only as a concept car but in their Italian headquarters officials are serious contemplating putting it into production. Is there a fourdoor Ferrari Porsche Aston Martin or Maserati?
Although it is fourdoor there are no compromises as it was made to compete against rivals such as the Porsche and Ferrari. The name estoque comes from bullfighting which is a sword that a matador wears. The new Lamborghini has a 5.2 V10 engine and it is situated in the front which is rare and has a trunk for luggage. Well it is a sedan so that is consistent.
The car still gets long glances of awe due to its commanding presence. The car’s rear haunches are glaring and with 23inch wheels fit snuggly into the wheel wells with 295/30ZR23 Pirelli P Zero tires. Although is has four traditional fronthinged doors there is no mistaken that is a supercar.
The estoque has optimal weight distribution with a majority of the engine seated behind the front axle line. Officials do not warrant the engine performance however it is the same V10 in the Lambo Gallardo LP560 which puts out 560 horsepower at a gliding 8000 rpm with 398 poundfeet of torque up to 6500 rpm. The Lamborghini estoque features an egear shift paddles built in the rear of the steering wheel. With all these figures and facts on e ca estimate the performance to be close to 100 km/h 62 mph in 4.5 seconds with a maximum speed of 190 mph.
The design team has suggested that Lamborghini has mentioned that production versions may come equipped with engine options for the public such as a dualturbocharged 4.0liter V8 and maybe a 4.2liter V8 diesel. Moreover even a hybrid version is being considered.
If production does begin officials say the number of vehicles to be made will be in the 2000 range and it may replace altogether the Murcielago. Porsche and Aston martin have made strides with their new models such as the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamer. So now Lambo will make their mark too in this area.
