Far away from prying of the large number of automobile journalists at the Geneva Show, BS Motoring got sole access to what will be Company’s reply to Aston Martin Cygnet. In the private display to select journalists, Lamborghini lifted a wraps on its hatchback car concept, Business Standard Motoring being the India’s publication to be invited. It is based on Volkswagen concept, the Lamborghini Picador just the concept for now, however comes April 2012 & Lamborghini is looking at launching a production model of the same. Speaking fully to Business Standard Motoring, Robert Buffone and Director of secret Engineering Services at Lamborghini alleged which the concept takes motivation from the Aventador in soul and spirit. Dissimilar the Up! This vehicle is probable to be powered via a 4 cylinder engine which utilizes the similar bore & stroke as the 1 found on the Aventador.
Given that, we think displacement to be around 2164cc, slightly strange for a hatch. ‘We want to make sure which your car stays ahead of hatchbacks Buffon alleged & it might be so. By using not one however 4 turbos – 2 small and 2 large, this Picador has the possible to lick every known hatch in present. It could end up giving over 300bhp from its midship engine located. So why have Lamborghini cars treaded on this path? Buffone is fast to response which one ‘we’re not fool & we wanted to tell EU which by initiation the production car on 1st day of the 2nd quarter of 2012. We care about environment too, that is why our vehicle achieves the phenomenal 180g/km of CO2 figure’. He was quick to add which the vehicle may also acquire a 4 wheel drive setup, however it depends on whether Audi triumphs & gets the Quattro set up in or Volkswagen stakes its right & Haldex is brought in. Apart from this case might be, nobody, Aston Martin will not be fooled via the bull.
Draped in a thin layer of black vinyl, Lamborghini’s Murcielago replacing supercar expected to be named Aventador – was all but revealed during a private event in Italy this week. On the styling front, the new Lamborghini Aventador looks to be both a leap forward in the brand’s trademark sharp lines while also bearing more than a few cues from the ultra-rare Reventon.
Lamborghini Aventador has revealed little about its next generation hero car, although it was revealed recently that Lamborghini Aventador would draw power from an all new 6.5 litre V12 engine producing around 520kW. Coupled to the new engine will be a brand new automated manual transmission dubbed Lamborghini ISR or Independent Shifting Rod.
Lamborghini SpA, maker of the $450,000 Murcielago SuperVeloce sports car, will import its super luxury four-door sedan, Lamborghini Estoque to China for local production in 2012 with a price tag of around 4 million yuan ($589,000), media reported Friday.
The Estoque, which was unveiled in 2008 at the Paris auto show, would be a huge rival to the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera and expand the entire row up of Lamborghini who currently has only two cars in its product portfolio.
The Estoque will be powered by a 5.2L V10 engine with a maximum output power up to 560hp, and is likely to feature a V12 TDI engine and a full V8 hybrid powertrain.
The four-door Estoque may just be the auto to do the trick. Stephan Winkelmann, the German-born CEO of Lamborghini, said recently, “A four- door car would be a very feasible approach.”
China is now Lamborghini’s second largest market after selling 86 models in the first half of the year, compared to the “little 26 models” sold in the same period last year.
