Supercar maker Lamborghini is set to build its very first four-seater product given that the LM002 SUV of the 1980s. The Italian marque currently sells only two designs, the V10 Gallardo and V12 Aventador, but Lamborghini's boss Stephan Winkelmann stated at a luxury-brand forum this week that the organization was considering a far more practical "everyday" auto for its third model. Winkelmann hinted strongly final 12 months that a "four-door car could be a incredibly possible approach" to expanding the brand's automobile selection. Soon after he all but ruled out a brand new SUV final yr, a manufacturing version of Lamborghini's 2008 sedan concept, called the Estoque, is extra most likely for your automobile which is not expected till 2015.

The Estoque can be a front-mid-engined design with everlasting all-wheel drive plus a 3.0-metre wheelbase that's marginally longer than that of Porsche's four-door Panamera.

A high-end sporty, coupe-like four-door would join a pattern started from the Mercedes-Benz CLS in 2004 and followed in recent ages from the Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide. Ferrari isn't expected to produce a four-door design any time soon, though its newest supercar - the FF - is its most sensible model however, featuring a hatchback-style rear end and all-wheel generate.
