Autocar - First for car news and reviews

The first images of the all-new Lamborghini Estoque – the Italian marque’s sensational new four-seater – have leaked onto the web ahead of the supercar’s debut at the Paris motor show tomorrow.

After a series of drip-feed teaser images and sketches, the sleek and sharp looks of Lamborghini’s new 2+2 do not disappoint.

The Estoque will be billed as a concept in Paris tomorrow, but sources close to the project have revealed that Lamborghini plans to launch the model as a fully fled...Read the full article

What a missed opportunity to out-do the 4 door Porsche and Aston. When I look back at the old Espada (not 4 door, I know, certaily a four seater) and its even more amazing concept precursor the Marazal, this new one just looks so ordinary. Not even innovative detailing to save it. And the rest of the Lambo range is so enticing. What went wrong? 

I think it looks (rude word) awesome!  Doesn't necessarily look much like a Lambo, but for me it is stunningly beautiful and evil in equal measures.  And that is a good thing.  I get the impression this could be a real Marmite car....

Why?

I don't understand the marketplace for these type of cars.

A Porsche Panamera makes sense as it is priced resonably but the Aston and Lambo 4 seater?

Does it not just dilute the brand?

I can only see very rich people who already own multiple example of these cars already wanting one, can't see it bringing in new buyers especially the Lambo- can't see it appealing to the vast majority of current bentlay or RR owners.

 It definitely has something about it.

The profile is good and the front pretty imposing.

The intakes under the bumper are perhaps a tad large but overall I like it.

why should people with young kids miss out on the fun? i think it looks great. if i was much richer i'd happily take my kids to school in one.

You're wrong. And Welsh.

Wow, what a stunner - the new poster pin-up for the family guy.

 It's nice enough. Just not your typical Lamborghini WOW! Maybe this is to Lambo what the Cayenne is to Porsche. Relatively high volume, big profits.

One thing I can imagine - in 10 years the depreciation may well allow me to own my first Lamborghini. I most certainly would!

I think this is one of those cars that looks better in the metal (aluminium) than it does in photos.  Looks to me like the rear half of the car didn't come together quite as well as the front half.  The rear end itself looks good, in my opinion.

No doubts that working from an Audi A8 base makes for a winner.

I guess this leaves only one unanswered question: Where is Ferrari's 4-door super sedan?

As much as I want to like this car, I guess I am in the minority in finding it somewhat disappointing.  For some reason, I find the front reminds me of an RX-8.   Perhaps as someone had earlier mentioned, it will look better in the metal.

I remember an Autocar mag which has a black Espada on the front cover, can we see that again Autocar? Can not remember the date of the magazine. I think Lamborghini decided instead of the Espada evolution it chose the current trend started by the Mercedes-Benz CLS, a long, low and sleek looking 4 door sports car.
