I'm not really into older cars, but I reckon the Urraco looks tough from any angle. Mind you, I like the GT4 too. They are a good size for a sports car.

Lamborghini Estoque canned Lamborghini has shelved plans to produce the dramatic Estoque four-door supercar that was unveiled at last autumns Paris motor show. Maurizio Reggiani, the firms head of research and development, said the Estoque has been put on ice for the time being. "The timing and market conditions are just not right for an additional model line," he explained. The Estoque was a four-door, four-seat concept with a front/mid-engined layout and permanent four-wheel drive. Lamborghini had only committed limited feasibility funding to the Estoque project. This means the car's development was at an early enough stage for the firm to halt the project without a severe financial penalty. The move is the first concrete evidence of Lamborghini's serious rethink of its future strategy. At Paris Lamborghini said the Estoque could be powered by a V10, a turbocharged V8, a hybrid V8 or even a high-performance diesel engine. However, company sources say the Italian car maker's back-to-basics strategy will make dramatic weight saving a priority for future models, as well as possibly dropping turbocharging plans in favour of high-revving normally aspirated powerplants. Reggiani is resisting pressure from a number of areas to introduce a DSG double-clutch transmission and says manual boxes could also be dropped. He argues that Lambo's current e-gear transmission (which is a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with an electro-mechanical shift mechanism) offers "the best combination of weight saving and mechanical interaction". Reggiani regards the typical DSG transmission as "too smooth" and lacking in the "sense of occasion and drama" that a Lamborghini owner wants. However, he says the next iteration of e-gear will be "really surprising". In the short term, though, sources indicate that there will be a Superleggera version of the Gallardo LP560-4. http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/238871/ Image Unavailable, Please Login
It would appear that reports of the Lamborghini Estoque's demise have been somewhat exaggerated. The four-door supercar debuted in concept form at the Paris Motor Show last year, and the manufacturer's statements at the time suggested that a four-door Lambo was in the works. The four-door, four-seat front/mid-engined supercar would have been a great departure for the marque, and with the world financial crisis it came as no surprise to hear earlier this week that it had been cancelled. This report appears to have jumped the gun on Lamborghini's actual plans, however. Maurizio Reggiani, the firm's head of research and development, said, "The timing and market conditions are just not right for an additional model line," and many took that to mean that the Estoque was a no-go. The company has released a statement in rebuttal, that neither confirms nor denies plans for a four-door Lamborghini: In reference to recent press coverage commenting on cancellation of its Estoque project, Lamborghini has not taken any decision to produce its Estoque concept car, the four door performance saloon concept shown at Paris motor show in 2008. "As stated when the car was shown, Lamborghini believes that if a third model line should ever be added to its product line up, a four door luxury performance saloon could be a logical product strategy. No decision has been made to produce the Estoque." In the tradition of any savvy marketer, the statement is murky and doesn't say anything other than that the program has not been axed. But that's okay: in this case, "maybe" is better than "no," right? http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090323.050/lamborghini-responds---estoque-not-dead-yet
Was watching Sunrise on Monday morning and saw this Lamborghini Gallardo Spider go past in the background, heading down Elizabeth St in Sydney. Thanks to foxtel I rewound it but only had my iphone to take the pic! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Well, it IS Lambo related! Also, I would love to see Marius Pujanauski hold back a Veyron. Bloody hell you MUST be keen!
