According to Lamborghini’s chief designer, Lamborghini is looking to expand its line up.
The expansion could include a new GT inspired by the Espada 2+2 from the late Sixties and Seventies. This
speculation is not new, but Lamborghini-sponsored designs done by Emily Sawamura from the Pasadena Art Center have
added fuel to the fire. Also, news that the Espada name will not be used has been
confirmed. The new
name, Lagartijo, is inspired by the matador who spared the famous fighting bull
Murcielago. While the name
relationship is nice, it is the design that we find interesting. You can see the designs by Sawamura
here.
This could be a good move for Lamborghini. Their recent success with the Gallardo and Murcielago has opened up the
brand. The 2+2 GT will expand the range nicely, offering a more comfortable car with a higher level of utility. Rumor
also has it that Lamborghini also has a crossover on the way, but we would put more effort into getting
the Lagartijo on the market instead of a crossover.
