Default Lamborghini’s third model decision leaked
and it is a SUV *sigh*

Quote:
A few days ago, we reported that Lamborghini was bringing two vehicles to the Geneva Motor Show: the Aventador Spyder and another mystery model. At first, we believed that the company would be arriving in Geneva with the final say on what the third model in their lineup would be, but it now seems we have to rule that out. The good news is that Lamborghini has chosen their third model, but the bad news is that they have chosen to produce the SUV and won’t be debuting it until the Beijing Auto Show in China from April 23-24, 2012.

This news comes straight from Italian magazine, Quattroruote.it, which offered the first scanned images of the Lamborghini SUV Concept. From these images we can see that the SUV will adopt some design features from the Aventador supercar. It will most likely feature the same V10 engine from the Gallardo, but most likely, the production version will combine a combustion engine with an electric engine for a total of 700 HP.

The production version of the Lamborghini SUV will arrive in 2015 as a competitor for the upcoming Bentley SUV.

Lamborghini's 3rd model line was long rumoured to be a competitor to the Quattroporte and Panamera. The suggestion a Lambo SUV would compete with a Bentley SUV is absolute nonsense as well. Did the author not realise both Bentley and Lamborghini share common ownership? Volkswagen is going to approve 2 programs to compete with themselves?

The SUV will make more money than the rumored Estoque.
While Bentley and Lamborghini share common ownership so do Porsche who build sports cars to compete with Lamborghini. Don't forget Porsche also build the Cayenne (from the Touareg platform) that competes with the Q7 also in the same family.

It all comes under the Volkswagen Group...im not exactly sure how ownership works, but VW its self owns at least half, and Porsche the second highest.
