Spy Shots: Lamborghini Estoque takin' it to the streets
by Noah Joseph on Sep 29th 2009 at 4:30PM 
Lamborghini has been hemming and hawing over the production prospects of the Estoque concept ever since it was unveiled last year at the Paris show. With a front-engine, four-door layout, the family-sized Lambo wouldn't be able to share much with either of the company's current models. But with Porsche and its new Panamera now under the same corporate umbrella – to say nothing of the upcoming Audi A7 and Bugatti Galibier concept – the prospects have never looked better. As if to lend credence to the increasing amounts of speculation, an intrepid observer snapped the Estoque recently on the streets of Cologne, Germany. Unfortunately, the vehicle in question appears to be a the original concept car, and not a developmental test mule. However, its appearance – with no license plates, mind you – has got people asking a lot of questions. And whatever the answer, it certainly isn't that Lamborghini has killed the project.

How many super rich people are fat ass. Those slinky models will fit just fine in the back of that car. I'll bet you could get at least 3 of them in their.

Looks like there's ample room for even the taller set. The Panamera looked like that at first, but product review videos showed that tall people can not only sit in the back seat, but be really comfortable too.
If VW is thinking about taking advantage of the economies of scale to utilize the Panamera platform to stamp out the Estoque, A7, and Balibier; they'll more than cover their development costs with the total sales of the 3 concepts.

Looks like these four door sports car coupes are here to stay and if so, this is the best of them all.
Gorgeous, evil and mean.

I've been sitting here for five miniutes figuring out what to say. This car is simply incredible, though it will undoubtedly be ruined by lime green paint sometime in the near future. But I have never seen a better looking four door car, not even the new Aston.

The Rear end reminds me of the Charger Concept, and also the profile is similar to the "Cab Forward" that the Charger concept used.
nevertheless, its a good looking car. I think 2 people would fit fine in the back seat.'
But I still think they should make this a new Espada, 2+2 and 2 doors, the styling already looks like it could be a 2 door.

Without trying to sound like the typical sceptical "its a fake" person does anyone else think this picture just doesn't look right.
The car looks great but this picture looks computer generated.
I'm no expert by any means but does anyone else agree? Its just some cg images look more realistic than this, but it might just be the the use of depth of field used I dunno.

I think the chances of lambo making a wagon estoque are less than hitting a deer in hawaii
