Panamera Killer (at least in looks)
Lamborghini Estoque concept
Now to our 'cover' car. This was the talk of the show on Thursday. Lamborghini have produced a 4 door before in the form of the LM002 off roader and the beauty Portofino Concept car in the 80s. The Estoque is a strange looking car. The front is hevily influenced by the Reventon and the recently refreshed Gallardo, while the middle section has elements of the 70's Espada. The wide rear fenders are very unusual and extreme. A busy design. Its strange that this niche of fast sporty sedans like the Estoque, the forthcoming Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide is in a growth period during this credit crunch. No doubt the effects of this will determine if this car really does see the light of day. The concept is powered by a front engined V10 from the Gallardo. Production is rumoured for 2010.

When I look at that styling I think "you could have a Cadillac for a fraction of the price."

Doesn't have to compete with the Panamara, it has to compete with this:-

The Lamborghini looks like a re-skinned Dodge Challenger.
The Aston Martin looks like sex on wheels.

Wow, that's the ultimate grocery getter. x2 on the wheels, just about anything else would be better.

Though the Espada is missing the extra 2 doors, Lambo isn't new to the "serious 4-seater" game:

I'd give the car a 5 out of 10, and the model only a 3.
