Possible sketch of Lamborghini's Paris concept leaked

Lamborghini has now released three official teasers of the Urus, Estoque or whatever the Italian automaker is rumored to be calling its four-door concept for the Paris Motor Show these days. Now it seems that a sketch of the complete concept may have been posted in a thread on FerrariChat. While someone could have easily faked these sketches, they do show elements of the concept that we've already seen in Lamborghini's official teaser shots, particularly the taillights. The Paris Motor Show is this week, so we'll find out soon enough what it looks like, as well as what it's called.

just because everybody else is making 4 door coupe's (aston martin, porsche, etc.), doesn't mean that lamborghini has too... so sad...
IMO: the only 4 door coupe is the rx-8, and maybe the clubman...

Well, it's nice to see Lamborghini make something new that is not just another "flavor" of the Murcielago. Murcielago, Gallardo, Reventon.....they all look so similar to each other.

Porsche's Cayenne was a gamble, and that paid off.
Lamborghini has made trucks before and has also had 4 door models in the past.
These companies realize they can't keep making high end cars and stay in business if they are overly expensive so, now, they've ALL started breaking into the $150K - $250K market
Bentley, Maserati, Rolls Royce, etc.
I'm not afraid of a 4 door Lamborghini. Its EXCITING.
Considering VW is behind the Bentley, Audi S8, Gallardo, Murcielago, etc, most likely, the Lambo 4 door would end up with a very powerful engine and a sexy interior devoid of wood but filled with high quality leather, plastic and metals.
One of the hottest coupes there is is the CLS 550. A Lambo Coupe 4-door could blow it away.

+1

In the sketch maybe... in the teaser of the actual car, not so much.
But even if it was "Too Audi," you need to keep in mind who they're owned by, lol.

you do have a point, dwight.
I just don't want another Panamera incident to happen. What would be wrong with just extending an LP560-4?

Well if it looks like that it's got a huve leg up on its competition.

LMAO @ people judging a car by a handful of sketches.

A handful of sketches that dont even amount to one coherent design.
I find this just as funny as you do.

there are 5 different concepts shown there...this still shows nothing about what this Paris-unveiled concept will look like. Napkin sketches to say the least...

Those sketches look nothing like the teaser photos.

Too bad the bottom drawing's wheels didn't make the concept that's being unveiled bit by bit. I'd like to see those old 5 hole deep dish Countach wheels (rims?) make a comeback.

No, no, no.
Lamborghini should not, I repeat, should NOT make a sedan. That goes against the very definition of the brand name. Lamborghinis are fast, exotic, and very extreme two doors. I hate it when automakers deviate from their core ideals, it just doesn't seem right to me when you lower your own standards just to fit in with everyone else.
If Lamborghini does make this a sedan, then I pray to God that Ferrari will keep its elevated status and not follow suit.

Who are you to say that a 4 door coupe goes against the brand's definition?
Lambo has made tractors, trucks and 4 door cars in its past, who says they can't go back to some (or all) of those products now?
Demonblade 10:58PM (9/28/2008)
Craig, I sincerely hope you do not wish for Lamborghini to return to making tractors. Because if you think that in today's world a tractor can bear the Lambo badge and be welcomed, then you are an idiot and you don't deserve the right to an opinion.
Sure, Lamborghini has made tractors, trucks, even a Hummer type vehicle... but they don't anymore. That's not what they do, that's not what they are. Popular culture defines this, and everyone knows what a Lamborghini is. They've created their own image and definition through their products, which are exotic supercars. To go against this is pure fallacy, yet it seems like Lamborghini might do it anyway. And that's only because there are idiots like you who will support them.

I'm glad you are the arbiter of who can and cannot have opinions. Lamborghini is a part of VAG, which is a publicly traded company. If you really want to tell Lambo what cars it can and cannot make, please buy a controlling interest in its stock and put yourself on top of its board of directors. Unfortunately, your opinion is actually the one that means nothing. Lamborghini has decided it can make a great car with 4 doors, and they are entitled to that opportunity. Considering Porsche makes a terrific SUV, I'm willing to give Lambo a shot here. I think they key thing you aren't noting is that great engineers can produce great cars, no matter how many doors the cars have. If you really are an automotive enthusiast, you should welcome an automaker thinking differently and challenging its public perception. I'm excited for whatever this concept will be and don't limit myself to the belief that certain automakers should only produce a certain genre of cars.

Nice work Demonblade to drag a discussion down to name calling. Next thing you know, you'll be comparing me with Hitler...
My point still stands, you are not here to tell Lambo what to make and what not to make. They can make their own decisions, probably based on some market research to see what the market can take.
If a Lamborghini tractor can make a profit, why shouldn't they make it? I'm sure Top Gear could do something amusing with one which would only help with brand recognition.

In looking at the competition - the Panamera and the Rapide... Well, it's a lot better looking than the Porsche, that's for sure. The world doesn't need this (as it doesn't need the Panamera), but at least it looks interesting.
