Paris Preview: Lamborghini "Urus" concept teaser shot #3
Click above for gallery of Lamborghini "Urus" teaser shots
A third teaser shot of Lamborghini's mysterious concept car has surfaced on the web just weeks before its debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. All signs point to a front-engine, four-door coupe concept similar in form to the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide. The first teaser merely showed the car's rear diffuser, but the second showed its front wheel with a fender vent clearly visible that indicates a front-mounted engine. This third teaser shows the rear taillight and what we can clearly see as the cut line for a trunk lid. The taillight itself features LEDs and seems to be inspired by new taillight designs on the Reventon and LP560-4. Though we don't have a name for the concept yet, Lamborghini recently registered the name "Urus" with the Italian copyright office. All will be revealed soon enough, though expect a few more teasers between now and Paris.

that's interesting. my opinion obviously doesnt mean much regarding this car, but that shot of the tail-light doesn't inspire thoughts of "lamborghini" in me... i'm sure when we see the whole thing i'll be proven wrong though.

Word. It looks like the tail light of a late model Alfa.

I have seriously never thought of a Lambo with a trunk. It's so off key. That's like the Cobalt going to a rear engine layout.

That would actually make it a better car...

so would RWD, but I guess that won't happen either.

Ditto! I rarely find myself actually antsy for a big reveal, especially something I'll most definitely never drive... I got nothing for the California, nothing even for the Panamera, nothing for the Evora... But THIS... Leak it already!!!

Hey, if Porsche can make an SUV and people pay stupid money for it, Lambo stands to do very well.

Collage of elements, and very similar project by Russian student Ernest Tsarukian, which he made in collaboration with Audi (2004):

^ I had the same idea. Before I saw your post I put together this composite image.

It winds up looking rather Aston Martin-ish.
