PRESS RELEASE
Lamborghini Estoque � the Italian cool sports sedan
It is a Lamborghini like no added afore it: a four-door sports car that sticks
resolutely to its creed. The Lamborghini Estoque abstraction has aggregate that
defines a Lamborghini: extreme, uncompromising and acutely Italian, it
brings a accomplished new versatility to the brand�s DNA � with its four seats and
ample baggage space, this �everyday sports car†is a absolute fit for an equally
versatile lifestyle.
Estoque is a study, a abstraction created accurately for the 2008 Salon
d�Automobiles in Paris. From the actual aboriginal glance there can be no agnosticism that
this is a Lamborghini � a car with acute presence, both different and
unmistakable. The continued wheelbase, the low profile, the ample track, the mighty,
accentuated wheels, the apple-pie surfaces and acid analogue � every
single band breathes the spirit of the Lamborghini brand.
A new and different elegance
The Estoque is an actually new estimation of the Sant� Agata architectonics ethic: it
is a abstraction that provides a bright adumbration of the future. This applies to the
new, affected aplomb of the curve themselves, but even added to the
concept of the vehicle. The Estoque is the aboriginal auto in the history of
Automobili Lamborghini, although �sedan†is added a advertence to the number
of doors than any added characteristics. Even sports auto is an inadequate
classification: the Estoque establishes a new class of cool sports sedans.
With a able foreground mid-engine, abiding all-wheel drive and a
sophisticated, precision-tuned chassis, the Estoque boasts a different technology
package.
A assurance of success
In Paris, the Lamborghini Estoque demonstrates the innovation, the creativity
and the architectonics ability of the Lamborghini brand, currently represented by the
enormous success enjoyed by Lamborghini�s Gallardo and Murciélago super
sports cars.
As a concept, the Lamborghini Estoque represents one of several possibilities
for a third archetypal alternation aural the Lamborghini artefact line-up. At this point in
time, no decisions accept been taken in account of either a third archetypal alternation of
any affectionate or of the Estoque abstraction in particular.
Of course, as a accurate Lamborghini, it goes afterwards adage that the Estoque also
bears a appropriately able name with a affluent ancestry from the Spanish Corrida �
bull fighting. The Estoque is a rapier (sword), about 90 centimetres
(35.43 inches) long, acclimated in a balderdash activity by the Matador.
The Concept
Estoque embodies the concept of a Lamborghini that is both a dedicated
sports car and a airy Gran Turismo. As a auto with four doors and four
individual sports seats, it is a multi-faceted car for multi-faceted lifestyles.
Relaxed Gran Turismo
The Lamborghini Estoque is the absolute travelling companion, be it en avenue to
business meetings, the theatre, the golf advance or even a weekend abroad with
the kids. At the end of the day, it is the alone car that allows you to allotment the
singular active amusement of a Lamborghini with added than one being �
possibly even with the accomplished family. And there is still abundant allowance larboard over for
weekend baggage or several golf bags.
Despite its acutely low contour � at a simple 1.35 meters (4.43 feet) top � the
Lamborghini Estoque is decidedly spacious. The abstruse lies in its actual long
wheelbase which, in animosity of the rearwards accession of the foreground mid-engine,
enables a relaxed, adventurous basement position. Entering and departure is also
pleasingly aboveboard through the large, wide-opening doors.
Challenging: a blood sports car
At the same, the Lamborghini Estoque is a blood sports car with
exceptionally aesthetic ability delivery, acid absorption administration and a
meaty engine tone. Arduous active amusement on a ambagious abundance road,
followed by a relaxed, agreeable adventure forth afar and afar of motorway�
the Lamborghini Estoque is advantageous beyond the absolute active spectrum, at
the accomplished level. The Estoque�s versatility makes it the absolute accession to the
range of Lamborghini cool sports cars.
Design
Such a Lamborghini have to be anon credible in its architectonics as a unique
and credible plan of art. For the Estoque, this is acutely a case of �mission
accomplished.â€
The accommodation of the Lamborghini Estoque are artlessly fascinating: no other
automobile combines so assuredly the breeding of beyond with the sporting
attributes of a low contour and absorbing breadth. Or to put it into abstracts � the
concept corrective in an all-new color, is 5.15 meters (16.89 feet) continued and 1.99
meters (6.53 feet)Â wide, with a acme of alone 1.35 metres (4.43 feet). The
wheelbase is a august 3.01 meters (9.88 feet) � an appropriately important aspect of
elegant car architecture.
And it is actually Italian � the collapsed bonnet, the continued wheelbase, the narrow
window openings, the collapsed rear that ends actually with a abrogating acknowledgment � it is
all authentic �Italianità †on wheels; aggregate bears the architectonics accent of the
large archetypal Italian four-door cars, admitting with a unique, avant-garde interpretation.
Pure Lamborghini.
Clearly a sports car
The foreground end of the Estoque is a bright and actual account of its
sports car credentials. Its abode amidst the ancestors of Lamborghini super
sports cars is aswell audible and credible � with its aerial V-shape, its
two ample air intakes pulled advanced and the baby foreground addle-brain in between. This
front end architectonics gives the Estoque a firm, low stance, while accouterment excellent
aerodynamic efficiency. The ample air intakes facilitate the cooling air that is
important for such a high-performance car and the addle-brain was specifically
designed to advance aerodynamic antithesis at top speeds.
Such characteristic sports car architectonics is alone accessible by accession the front
mid-engine able-bodied appear the rear. Despite the actual low bonnet, it goes without
saying that the Estoque fulfils all assurance regulations and banal protection
standards.
Taut muscles
The beanie of the Estoque makes the origins of the arduous ability of this vehicle
immediately apparent. The across of the engine is acutely axiomatic through the
distinct analysis created by two ample air outlets and the added accent of
a axial ability area. Added air outlets are positioned both larboard and appropriate in
the wings, abaft anniversary of the foreground caster arches.
Together, with the analysis of the bonnet, these elements add accent to the
area aloft the wheels, framing the foreground end of the Estoque like a abutting muscle.
The abiding all-wheel drive that is archetypal for all Lamborghinis agency that
the 22 inch wheels, with their new 5 double-spoke design, aswell do their part
in carrying ability to the road. Actuality too, the Centro Stile has ashore durably to
the Lamborghini assumption that anatomy consistently follows function; afterwards all, the
ample cooling air abounding into the high-performance driveline aswell has to move
quickly out of the vehicle.
Tremendous astriction forth the flanks
Its accommodation agreement the Lamborghini Estoque an absorbing appearance.
The accomplished sectioning forth the flanks of the car gives the physique carapace an
incredibly able-bodied form. Beneath the collapsed surfaces of the bonnet, the
incredibly able accept line, a added ancillary band ascent hardly appear the
rear and, finally, the appropriately audible arbor band all add accent to the breeze of
power from the engine to the arresting 23 inch rear wheels. The masculine
profile is completed by the abrogating acknowledgment of the rear end. This adds further
tension to the anatomy of the Estoque � the accomplished car looks coiled and accessible to
pounce at the bead of a hat. These aciculate curve anatomy a alluring coaction of
surfaces beyond arched and biconcave curvatures. The Estoque acutely displays
the architectonics accent of the Centro Stile Lamborghini with a distinctive
elegance.
Powerful breeding at the rear
The breeze of anatomy is brought to its cessation by the broad, even amplitude of the
rear end. The accumbent breach created by the collapsed LED ablaze clusters and the
large, mesh-covered lower air outlets accompany added accent to this breadth.
A narrow, hardly slanted �frame†console surrounds the accomplished rear aspect and
further highlights its able elegance.
Precise details, such as the hexagonal ammunition caps on both abandon of the vehicle,
characterize the abyss of the architectonics language. The foreground headlamps, featuring
bi-Xenon and LED technology, backpack advanced a affair axiomatic in both the
Reventón and the Gallardo LP 560-4 � the Y-shape of the daytime running
lights. The tiny green/white/red banderole adorning the foreground wings discreetly
highlights that an automotive account as uncompromising as this one can
come from alone one country on Earth � from Italy.
The interior
Despite its acutely low profile, the Lamborghini Estoque offers a surprisingly
generous activity of spaciousness. The beyond of the autogenous facilitates a
relaxed basement position for all four alone seats and plays a cogent role
in the absolute abundance of this cool sports auto over continued distances. The
interior reflects elements of the exoteric architectonics language, aswell axiomatic in the
cabin of the Estoque � in the characteristic curve of the aperture panels or in the
swooping V-shape activated to the cockpit, absorption the anatomy acclimated on the front
end and on the bonnet.
Luxurious interior
The ascendant actual of the autogenous is highest-quality Nappa leather. The four
individual seats avowal antic contours, absolute long-distance abundance and
extensive electrical accession options.
Cockpit with large-screen display
The cockpit presents the disciplinarian with a large-area LCD awning announcement vehicle
and avenue information. A ambit of presentation formats are accessible for
selection depending on claimed another � a characteristic classical blueprint with
circular apparatus dials, or an avant-garde agenda display. A top-class audio
installation and a adult rear bench ball arrangement annular off the
equipment.
Like the interior, the baggage alcove of the Estoque is aswell surprisingly
spacious. Despite the humble rear end, it has affluence allowance for several golf
bags or pieces of luggage.
Production feasibility
As a authentic abstraction car, the Estoque is a architectonics exercise and a added indication
of the avant-garde ability of the Lamborghini brand. Yet, it is based on a feasible
technical abstraction that offers a accomplished ambit of alluring alternatives for the
body carapace and driveline.
Just like the brand�s cool sports cars, the Estoque uses a mid-engine layout.
However, the high-performance driveline acclimated actuality is not amid in foreground of
the rear axle, as in the Gallardo and Murciélago or in the Reventón, but behind
the foreground axle. This foreground mid-engine concept, with the driveline set way back,
facilitates counterbalanced weight administration and a centre of force abutting to the
vehicle�s vertical axis. Both ensure the unparalleled activity and handling
precision of a mid-engine vehicle.
Reserves in every situation
Like all abreast Lamborghini models, the Estoque is aswell able with
permanent all-wheel drive. It distributes the engine ability to all four wheels,
thus authoritative for above absorption in all active situations, as able-bodied as providing
extra affluence for acutely adventurous active and for arduous weather
conditions.
A ambit of drivelines is believable for the Estoque. This is headed up by the
highly-acclaimed Lamborghini ten-cylinder from the Gallardo LP 560-4 � with
more torque and college revving than around any added engine. A
complementary another could be a turbocharged eight-cylinder derived
from this V10. A decidedly economical, but about dynamic, variation
would be a V8 with a amalgam bore or an acutely high-performance TDI.
The Centro Stile Lamborghini
With the Estoque, the Centro Stile Lamborghini has created added affidavit of its
creativity and absorption to detail. The architectonics centre that opened in 2004 is a
studio of creatives, designers and archetypal makers that combines the ability and
the spirit of the cast with the ability of accession and of creating a new
aesthetic. The Centro Stile Lamborghini is allotment of the best attitude of Italian
vehicle design, and is arch the way advanced with the latest in working
techniques.
The Centro Stile is amid in a 2,900 sq. beat (31,215 sq. feet) facility, area it
occupies two commutual floors. The abundantly ample architectonics studio
is able with two full-size apparent tables and their associated applique and
measuring equipment, while added areas abode the latest in computer
workstations for the artistic experts and a branch for the archetypal makers.
The Centro Stile is aswell affiliated anon to the neighbouring Ufficio Tecnico �
the absolute hotlink to Lamborghini�s development administration ensures the rapid
realization of ideas. Speed is a key aspect for Lamborghini, for both its cars and
its alive processes; the Reventón was created in the almanac time of beneath than
one year.
In-house adroitness and implementation
From the aboriginal sketches fabricated either on cardboard or application the three-dimensional
computer program, through 1:10 or 1:4 calibration models to full-size models, the
complete architectonics activity is organized aural small, fast-moving teams.
Since it was founded, the Lamborghini cast has been bringing innovative
design trends to the dainty atmosphere of the world�s a lot of desirable
automobiles, and bearing cars with actually credible character.
Models such as the Miura and the Countach were way advanced of their time, but
quickly accomplished the cachet of around-the-clock classics. From their aboriginal appearance,
every new Lamborghini is destined to become a fable and sought-after
collectors� item.
With the accepted Murciélago and Gallardo, Lamborghini has already again
perfected an avant-garde architectonics language. The exoteric accommodation board an
indication of the ability and activating actualization of the driveline. Crisply-defined
edges, absorption curve and apple-pie surfaces aftereffect in a architectonics that is bargain to its
very essence.
Every aspect is advised actually in accordance with its function. Examples
of this on the Murciélago LP 640 cover the adaptable cooling air intakes and
the agee sills; on the larboard ancillary of the vehicle, the air assimilation is significantly
larger to board the breeze of beginning air to the oil cooler.
Clear lines, absolute details
The credible anatomy of a Lamborghini is something that consistently speaks for
itself: beautification or adornment of any affectionate has actually no abode here.
This durably places the accepted models that buck the assurance of the balderdash aural the
best traditions of their cast and of 60s and 70s Italian car design. The
sports cars of that time were acclaimed for their absolute accommodation and for
their objective, anatomic breeding that appropriate no adornment of any kind.
The purist beheading of the curve is complemented altogether by the affection for
detail bedevilled by the designers in Sant� Agata Bolognese. The rear appearance of
the Murciélago LP 640 is characteristic not alone for its absorbing power, but also
for the accomplished coaction of the elements in the adult rear ablaze cluster.
The bender of absorption and performance
A Lamborghini is a top achievement athlete. Its top amount of bender is
based on precision, achievement and ad-lib action. This blazon of
elegance is the breeding of pure, complete power. This Lamborghini DNA
is agitated advanced into approaching articles at the Centro Stile, which is destined to
continue to set bright architectonics trends � the Estoque is the absolute example.
The architectonics centre on the website of the actual birthplace of all Lamborghinis
guarantees the cool sports cars with the balderdash cast will abide exclusive,
sensual and arduous � and consistently acutely Italian.
