    Rumorpile: Lamborghini Begins Work On A Sedan

      We're already doing an SUV, so why not do a sedan as well?

    Lamborghini has reportedly begun work on a fourth model that will debut in 2021.

    Autocar reports that the model in question is a four-door sedan that could bridge the gap between their supercars and the upcoming Urus SUV. The sedan is said to be similar to the Estoque concept from 2008 with an engine up front. The model would use the MSB platform that underpins the Porsche Panamera and upcoming Bentley Continental GT.

    When asked about adding a new model after the Urus, Lamborghini’s commercial director Federico Foschini said, 

    “We must be humble. The Urus is only at the pre-production phase and, while the goal is to double sales volumes over a few years, we have yet to earn that accolade. But of course we should always be looking to grow. If we can take this first step with Urus – a huge step – then there are possibilities.” 

    But the sedan has yet to be signed off. According to the report, a faction at Lamborghini is wanting to investigate the possibility of a bespoke, carbonfiber-intensive structure that could underpin a three supercar lineup. Whether this means a new model is created the Huracán and Aventador or something a bit extreme is unclear at this time. Either way, this project is being referred to as the new Miura.

    But this means Lamborghini would be spending a fair amount of cash on the development and could cause some problems for the next Audi R8. This is due to the model sharing the platform that underpins the Huracán.

    Awesome! Unlike Ferrari, Lamborghini has at least a history of doing things other than bleeding edge super cars and hardcore GT's. The Estoque and Urus have much more precedent than a Ferrari SUV.

    Isn't it strange that all car marques under the VW flag are competing against each other for sales rather than retain their respective unique selling points?  Did the respective car marques NOT LEARN from the foibles of GM Ford and (nowadays) FCA?!

      Very cool, as one that does not get into planes, those kind that can land on land and water all look the same to me. Reminds me of the Indiana Jones Movie plan that was on water too.

      Living in Ohio has never felt so good.  It seems to have made landfall with less damage than expected, which is good.  I love this. Kia is building some hella stylish vehicles! I like that area. Visiting up north in the Panhandle next month.  I just find astrology mindless.

      Houses on stilts are pretty common in the Florida Keys, remember them from 40 years ago growing up there.  I saw a bunch built that way recently in the NC Outer Banks and in SC--Myrtle Beach, Garden City, Surfside Beach.  The Outer Banks and coastal SC remind me so much of the Keys.   (Have insomnia this morning.. up doing random tasks..checking server logs, filling out vote-by-mail ballot, looking at maps, watching hurricane coverage, etc..)

      Insane.  Milton made landfall at Siesta Key in Sarasota County as a 3.  It was forecast to come in between Tampa Bay and Port Charlotte.  I forgot the strength of the previous ones that recently hit the southwest coast of FL. So much preparation was needed.  I saw a clip on evacuating the animals from the Tampa Zoo. I'm sad for those who didn't make it out.  They mentioned that a plane carrying evacuees crashed. It's working its way northeasterly across the peninsular state.

      @G. David Felt Sorry David, but the plane on top would be the airplane from the Expendables movie. The second one in the franchise. It would be the Canadair CL 215.  A waterbomber that fights fires. My dad worked at Canadair for 40 years. Now Canadair is under the Bombardier Aerospace name. And he worked on the CL 215 both in production and later the head engineer in quality control.  The airplane I posted earlier today is the Martin Mars. Another water bomber and it took its final flight this summer. It landed on a lake in British Columbia somewheres to be retired in a museum there. At least I think that is the plan.  That particular plane and the models themselves are no longer flying.  But the Bombardier CL 215 became the CL 415 and then Bombardier Aerospace sold the rights to a company named Viking to which they will continue on building them as the Viking 515 with new modern avionics in. As many countries fly it to fight their forest fires. The CL 215 was updated to the 415 in the 1980s with then modern avionics but the 515 will have modern modern 2020s avionics.  The Cl 215 is a design from the 1930s.  It had the Canso PBY as inspiration and a mentor.   In the first movie, the airplane was a Grumman HU-16 Albatross.
