The New 2008 Lamborghini Estoque Concept Cars is the perfect travelling companion, be it en route to business meetings, the theatre, the golf course or even a weekend away with the kids.Yes, we’d like to see the car in motion too, but given that Lamborghini didn’t name any engine specs and gave a wide variety of engine possibilities for a production version, we’re guessing that the New 2008 Lamborghini Estoque Concept Cars concept is without a motor underneath that long hood.

The New 2008 Lamborghini Estoque Concept Cars’s mechanicals likewise straddle the line between exotic and pragmatic. The show car features the Gallardo LP560-4’s 5.2-liter V-10 in Lamborghini’s typical mid-engine layout, but unlike the Gallardo and Murciélago, the transmission is bolted directly to its engine. A production model would almost certainly come with more economical engines. Lamborghini says a V-8 derived from its ten-cylinder is possible and even mentions hybrid and diesel powertrains as options. More likely, it would start out with the 4.0-liter direct-injected twin-turbo V-8 Audi has earmarked for the next A8. Indeed, much of the Estoque would need to be borrowed from the Audi parts bin in order to be feasible. It would share a platform with the A8 and the follow-up to the Bentley Continental and would likely get the latter’s massive 15.7-inch disc brakes. The production process would probably be similar to that of the Gallardo, starting out in a German factory, and then traveling to Lamborghini’s home in Bolognese, Italy, for final assembly. Lamborghini indicates it might tweak Audi’s all-wheel-drive system to offer a variable torque split depending on road conditions, and might likewise eschew Audi’s complex double-wishbone air suspension in favor of a simpler, lighter setup.

Inside, the Estoque has four bolstered seats clothed in sumptuous Nappa leather. An LCD screen can imitate either analog or digital gauges depending on the driver’s preference. However, Lamborghini seems most proud of how comfortable and conventional the car will be. "Entry and egress will be totally effortless," boasts Mauricio Reggiani, head of Lamborghini’s technical department, adding, "The big doors open wide, the seats are cushy yet supportive, there is plenty of legroom, and once you have made yourself comfortable, the low roof is never an issue."
The Estoque’s chances for production remain unclear, but we think that it certainly makes sense for Lamborghini. Like every other premium marquee, Lamborghini fears its market will shrink with the worsening financial crisis, and it needs something with broader appeal if it hopes to keep growing sales volume. But Lamborghini will need support from its corporate masters to make the Estoque a reality. That would ultimately mean convincing Porsche, now in full control of Audi, that it should spend money to develop a direct competitor for its own upcoming Panamera. Nevertheless, Lamborghini has high hopes for the car. It thinks that priced around 150,000 Euros (about $220,000), the Estoque could make up 50 percent of the brand’s total volume – about 1500-2000 units annually. It is a driving enjoyment!
