The Lamborghini Estoque, while still only an idea car albeit with a robust chance of seeing production, seriously shakes up what comes to mind the name Lamborghini. First and foremost, this is a sedan. Yes, a four-door, four-seater Lamborghini. While some will lament this as the antithesis of everything Lamborghini is, others will applaud the Estoque for its bold and iconoclastic design.
Performance details and specifications are slim at this point for the Lamborghini Estoque concept. Notably, Lamborghini has yet to establish what engine will power the car when looking at production. The most probably choice is the astounding 5-liter V8 that forms the performance base for both Lamborghini Gallardo and the Audi R8.
Rumors have been swirling that the Lamborghini Estoque might be powered by a cleaner turbodiesel engine, and while this is unfounded, it is sure to be a beautiful option as the luxury sports car maker tries to reach wealthy buyers who turn their backs on the hefty horsepower. supports a greener image.
The name “Estoque” denotes the sword worn on the hip by the matador, used to gore the bull at the end of the bout. The Lamborghini Estoque concept has long, low proportions, and with its pointed front end and large rear side fenders it definitely looks like a sword in its own right.
Power from the as yet unnamed Estoque engine is channeled to the ground via all four wheels, as is customary with everything that comes from a Lambo. The Estoque, which Lamborghini calls a mid-engine car, includes a motor and drivetrain located behind the front axel line, a move that should provide perfect weight distribution.
