    Ok.....so.

    You obviously don't like anything from Bertone - You said nay to Stratos, 308 GT4 and Countach
    You arn't one to like the "traditional supercar" look
    You are like Enzo and believe the engine belongs in the front.

    How's that?

    Don't know who Bertone is
    That would be correct
    Yes most part, and Enzo thought the engine should be in the front, but yet the car that is named after him is MR?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertone

    Enzo lost that belief when the Cooper cars began to beat him and it was the Lamborghini Muira that forced him to sell MR street cars even though he thought they were to dangerous for non racing drivers.

    1. Nay. All Porche's look alike aside from the Carrera GT, Cayman and their hideous SUV. I'd take a Cayman S though.

    2. Yay. One of the few Ferrari's I would actually drive.

    3. Nay. Unique, but still nay.

    4. Can be okay with the right mods. Neither yay or nay, the NSX gets a "meh".

    5. Nay. Looks like a Duckbill Platapus.

    i think the biggest reason i can't ever dislike a Lamborghini is because i saw the cars get made at the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese and it just makes you realize why they cost so much.

    I actually have pics i should post but i wasn't allowed to take them inside the actual factory.

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    Lamborghini's aren't perfect supercars, but it's hard to argue their presence. Someone pulls up in a Lamborghini with an exhaust you stop and listen. But don't get me wrong, I'd take an F50 or F40 over a Diablo anytime.

    As a car guy I don't know how anyone could hate on this soundtrack...

    While the above is undeniably beautiful, I have to ask the point of it. I mean, honestly, Lamborghini's are supposed to be ridiculous (save the Espada(which was a bit crazy anyway)). I don't really see how this car fits into the Lambo model. I can't imagine me buying this on a poster at a book fair in 5th grade.

    But.

    Its one of the hottest 4 doors I have ever seen.

    I know what you mean...they're supposed to be wild and flamboyant. Hah, at the same time though...it caught your eye as the "hottest four door you've ever seen."

    I definitely agree there...I know what you're saying though. I know what will save them...vertical suicide doors!

    By the way, from the back, it sort of reminds me of the Charger/Challenger.

    Well, I started to like the backend but the rest of the car just went down the tube. The front end seriously made me laugh and that's not just a remark. Oh well.

    1. Not the hottest, that would be the AM Rapide.



    2. I take back everything negative i said if this has 4 vertical doors. Dear Lord, that would be awesome.

    3. yah...it does kinda favor the Challenger in a way.

    ^ Out of the new four doors coming out of Europe (Lambo, Porsche, Aston Martin) that one definitely looks the best out of the three.

    I'd give the AM and the Lambo a tie, both are beautiful cars. I really thought Porsche missed the mark though, I don't like the back end of the Panamera. The Lambo looks sick.

    I think that with different wheels and a new front end the Lambo would be "okay".

    I just can't get past the front though.

    Yea well we all have our own tastes. Lamborghini makes the only really aggressively styled cars that I like, I think the front end is ace on that car. Maybe make the openings a tad smaller, but other than that I love it. The rims could be better of course, but I love those too.

    Autoblog

    After several weeks of teaser shots from Lamborghini we finally got a full view of the Lamborghini Estoque concept this morning ahead of its official debut tomorrow morning. However, the photos were relatively small and details were scarce, but we are now able to bring you high resolution photos and full details via a press release from Lamborghini. The Estoque, named for the sword use by the Matador in a bull fight, is actually listed as mid-engined with the motor placed behind the front axle. The car sits extremely low at just 4.43 feet high, but still provides plenty of interior space for all four passengers due to the long wheelbase of over three meters. As we expected, Lamborghini states that no official decision has been made regarding production, but did hint that the Estoque could lead to a third model in the lineup with numerous engine possibilities including the V10 from the Gallardo LP560-4, a turbocharged V8, a V8 with a hybrid mode, or even a high-performance TDI. We'll be sure to bring you any additional information we can get tomorrow at the Paris Motor Show as well as many more photos. Until then, read up on the details of the Estoque in the press release after the jump and check out the new gallery of high resolution photos below.
