The New Lamborghini Suv - LB 736
From the latest issue of Italian mag Quattroruote

Short summary:

After long discussions at lambo HQ, the decision was that the third lambo model will be the Suv and not the Estoque.

On the market: 2015

In the article is written that a concept will be shown at the Beijing Auto show in April 2012 (initially the concept was for Geneva 2012). Maybe in the last weeks at lambo were able to prepare it for Geneva as rumors said.

What's 'LB'?

Stupid idea.

Completely the wrong idea for such a marque in my view. If they were going to create a new car, then they should be targeting the price between what ever will replace the Gallardo with say a top of the range Porsche Turbo "s".

With the Gallardo now costing circa £190k well spec'ed(in uk) and with the new model sure to be say 15% to 20% more, then that leave more than enough room for say a car starting at around £125k to say £160k with decent sporting abilities ove between the current gallardo and say an audi r8 v10.

Creating a suv, is just downgrading the brand.

At the Aventador LP 700-4 Roaster thread, I saw some sayings that there will be one 'New thing'.. I think this can be the 'New thing' OMG!

I still prefer the Estoque over the future SUV...

Predictable. Every manufacturer has sold out for the sake of surviving in today's marketplace. SUV's/family haulers are the moneymakers. There are more soccer mom's needing to keep up with the Jones's than men with a midlife crisis looking to spend more than a quarter of million $ for a car that will get driven twice a month.

Just look at the Cayenne. And Ferrari made a station-wagon for fvck sake.

If they don't price themselves out, they're gonna make a killing with this.

i do like the idea i do not like what it looks like in concept form. ESPECIALLY that long rear light.

Lambo introduced the LM002 in the 80s, creating another SUV does not go against past sales attempts. The SUV market was obviously not as strong 25 years ago but that's a different story today. Personally I would not mind hopping out of a 700 HP Lambo truck, but that's just me.
