    Rumorpile: Lamborghini To Build An SUV?

    February 2, 2012

    Back in the eighties, Lamborghini built a SUV called the LM002. Originally planned to be built for the U.S. Military, Lamborghini scrapped that idea and made the LM002 into a luxury palace on wheels. Now, a new successor to LM002 could be on its way.

    Earlier this week, Italian auto magazine Quattroruote showed renderings of a Lamborghini SUV. The renderings show the SUV sharing many cues from the Aventador. The magazine said the new SUV would use the Porsche Cayenne’s platform. Power could come from V10 from the Gallardo and a hybrid producing 700 HP is also on the table.

    When asked for comment by Autocar, a Lamborghini spokesperson said the report was speculative.

    Yesterday, A senior source at Lamborghini's parent company Audi told Autoweek that Lamborghini is working on a new SUV.

    "I can't comment in detail but the speculation in the press is largely correct," the source said.

    The new SUV is rumored to be shown at the Beijing Auto Show in April and go into production sometime in 2016.

    What is crazy about having the super SUV of all SUV's. They will make some awesome dough on this as the eccentric rich like to be different than the rest.

    Exactly.. Porsche's best selling car is the Cayenne.

    GMC should make rear engined supercars too then....

    and call it the Caballero

    lm 2002 = 'luxury palace on wheels" ???

    Okay, maybe I should have added by Lamborghini standards..

    Given how ownership of brands has evolved since the mid-1980s, maybe a super-luxury SUV would fit Bentley better than Lamborghini over at the VW stable...

    Well, Bentley's one would be a super-luxury CUV/SUV, while Lambo's would be a super-performance CUV/SUV. And then Bugatti's one would be uber-lux/uber-performance thingy..

    Does it seem like VW is slicing the pie in too many pieces w/ all their brands?

    Sometimes it does... Best (and hardest) thing to do is to keep the brand's identities intact...

      I am looking for a good starter car and am thinking of a 2009 Buick Lucerne super. Is that a good starter car? if not, any suggestions?

      Took a look at the details in the recommended setup from PSE (Puget Sound Energy) and they say the typical house uses 20 to 40 kW over night and then having a battery pack equal too plus 10% for EV charging. PSE is recommending a 150 kW battery pack of storage so that I would not pull from the grid. Tesla FAILURE, Promise, Promise, Promise, and never deliver. Roadster 2.0 with huge deposits and still no car. Tesla promised a Roadster with 0 - 60mph in 2.4 seconds. BYD, sexy as hell as they deliver this roadster sexy monster! 0-60mph under 2 seconds.

      What would you do?

      The 2009 Buick Lucerne is an absolute SLEEPER car, but $18,000 is a bit much. A better price for one of those bad boys is about $3,500-$9,000. The super is also a MUCH better package as it has everything a cxl has, but with a 290 hp v8

      It sounds like it all depends how big the storage is and how much you need to charge. It is possible you wouldn't have to pull from the grid though.

      Starter Car?

      By crvette_guy · Posted

      I'm 14 and looking for a good year round car to drive that still has potential to go sideways when I floor it. I'm thinking something like a 2009 Buick lucerne super that I can turn into my own little project car. Does that sound like a good starter car? If not, any suggestions?
