| Lamborghini Estoque - the Italian super sports sedan |
The Lamborghini Estoque is a study, a concept created specifically for the 2008 Salon d'Automobiles in Paris. The long wheelbase, the low profile, the broad track, the mighty, accentuated wheels, the clean surfaces and razor-sharp definition - every single line breathes the spirit of the Lamborghini brand.
The Estoque is an entirely new interpretation of the Sant'Agata design ethic: it is a concept that provides a clear indication of the future. The Estoque is the first sedan in the history of Automobili Lamborghini, although sedan is more a reference to the number of doors than any other characteristics. Estoque embodies the concept of a Lamborghini that is both a dedicated sports car and a relaxed Gran Turismo.
The concept painted in an all-new color, is 5.15 meters (16.89 feet) long and 1.99 meters (6.53 feet) wide, with a height of only 1.35 metres (4.43 feet). The wheelbase is a stately 3.01 meters (9.88 feet) - an equally important element of elegant vehicle architecture. The front end of the Estoque is a clear and unambiguous statement of its sports car credentials. Its place amongst the family of Lamborghini super sports cars is also distinct and unmistakable - with its swooping V-shape, its two large air intakes pulled forward and the small front spoiler in between. This front end design gives the Estoque a firm, low stance, while providing excellent aerodynamic efficiency. The large air intakes facilitate the cooling air that is important for such a high-performance vehicle and the spoiler was specifically designed to improve aerodynamic balance at high speeds. The interior reflects elements of the exterior design language, also evident in the cabin of the Estoque - in the distinctive lines of the door panels or in the swooping V-shape applied to the cockpit, reflecting the form used on the front end and on the bonnet.
A range of drivelines is conceivable for the Estoque. This is headed up by the highly-acclaimed Lamborghini ten-cylinder from the Gallardo LP 560-4 - with more torque and higher revving than virtually any other engine. A complementary alternative could be a turbocharged eight-cylinder derived from this V10. |
