    Lamborghini Estoque Concept: I'm Not Dead Yet!

    April 24, 2012

    With the Lamborghini Urus making its debut at this week's Beijing Motor Show, a question has popped upped about another one of Lamborghini's concepts; what ever happened to the Estoque concept?

    The Estoque sedan concept was shown at the 2008 Paris Motor Show as a way to preview a new model line for the brand. Since then, nothing much has happened.

    Autoweek had the chance to sit down with CEO Stefan Winkelmann and asked him about the Estoque.

    "It [the Estoque] was placed on hold because of a number of reasons, including the lack of a suitable platform. We haven't given up on the idea of a sedan entirely, but we see more potential in a sport-utility vehicle encapsulating typical Lamborghini attributes."

    It is very clear that they do love the idea of a 4 door performance sedan, but with the world wide economy in the dumpster, they see faster profits in the SUV. I suspect we will see the name plate expand ove the next few years.

    Just use a Porsche one. Seems to work when you want to make an SUV.

    GROSS, Can you imagen cross breeding a sexy Lambo with that butt ugly Panamera? :puke:

    yes, but you can still tell it's a Cayenne, which is, in turn, actually a Volkswagen.

    the Panamera, however is not.

    oh yes, and:

    "I think I might be getting better!"

    "I think I'll go for a walk..."

    huh? I'm as fit as I'll ever be, and I do walk quite a bit nowadays. I'm pretty healthy; not Bob Harper healthy, mind you, but i'm not fat, sick or diabetic.

    I was making a silly Monty Python reference with that last bit of my post. it was a running gag in one of their movies where somebody was thought to be dying: "He's not dead yet!...I think he's getting better...Actually I think he might pull through...oh, no, no, he's died."

    I always appreciate the good vibes though. :cheers:

    Got ya, now I understand. Never watched the Monty Python shows, so was not aware that was from that. So many people seem to have had health issues in the last year, I thought you had gotten sick or something.

    Thank you for the explanation, Have a great week. :D

    • Municipal elections and French language laws are a hot subject. But...the front and center issue are bike lanes.  The outgoing administration, 2 time winner, has went bike lane crazy. Although very successful, as the video suggests, which is good, the mayor of Montreal also neglected to address and the automobile. She waged war on the automobile rather than make cars and bikes live together in harmony.  Now these elections are all about automobile love and bike hate. Truth be told, Montreal businesses ARE suffering BECAUSE parking and getting around the city centers have been hijacked by bike paths. While the people living in those areas is great, people coming INTO the city with their cars cant do it and so by pass Montreal all toghether and find their entertainment and shopping needs in the suburbs.  I like the idea of bicycles in the city, but not total obliteration of car driving either.  Plus, all the city money available from the Provincial government went to construct these bike paths but NONE of it went to updating aging subterranean infrastructure (lots of aging pipes broke and flooding happened downtown and old Montreal etc.), repairing  potholes and even having decent snow removal.   Montreal issues. 
    • Its inevitable. This admin along with several rich folk who do not want to pay their fair share in taxes want oligarchy and fascism for the US.   If protests wont work, and they wont as that means a government cares for what its citizens wants and needs,  then violent clashes will eventually happen if the citizens do not agree with their freedoms be taken away.   And let us not be blind to the fact that yes indeed, American citizens' rights ARE taken away. Piece by piece ever so slowly.  But its not as if the process is behind closed doors. Its WIDE open.        Even Indigenous peoples are involved. And its THEIR land to begin with that Americans and Canadians play greedy with... But sadly, these protests will not work. It is by design from this admin to turn the country into a fascist country.  
    • This Fascism is why I fear the U.S. is headed for Civil War!  
    • Arrested and detained for exercising a constitutional right to free speech. By ICE agents who's authority is not even legal but because fascism has started in the US.  Antifa BTW...means anti-fascism Good luck to ya'll...
