2012 Lamborghini Estoque

2012 Lamborghini Estoque - 2012 lamborghini estoque has a front-mounted engine and odds favor a twin-turbo V-8. To be on the safe side, the engine bay is just big enough to house Lamborghini’s V-10, but that thirsty and expensive engine is more appropriate for a hard-core sports car. The show car’s V-8 is derived from the V-10, but for production, Lamborghini is more likely to modify the next A8′s new 4.0-liter, direct-injection twin-turbo V-8. Rated at about 420 hp and 400 lb-ft in A8 guise, it would probably get a power and torque boost to 500 hp and 480 lb-ft.

Lamborghini has designed the dramatic Estoque, revealed in concept form at the Paris auto show. The car is not called a four-door coupe by its makers, but it certainly would travel in the extrawide tire tracks of cars like the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide, both of which it would follow to market, in 2012.

2013 Lamborghini Estoque Prices: Various press reports indicate the 2013 Lamborghini Estoque will start at around $200,000, or roughly the same as the top-line 2008 Gallardo coupe, the LP560-4. But that's presumably in today's dollars; so we'd look for a minimum closer to a quarter-million by the time sales begin.
