Lambo LM00X suv 2012
Rumormill: Lamborghini developing Q5-based LM00X crossover — Autoblog
Here are some godforsaken renditions....
Few rumors have been as pervasive over the years as the rebirth of the Lamborghini LM002. Originally designed for military applications, the Countach-powered LM002 blended Sant'Agata's background in tractors with the exotic supercars for which they're now known. Ever since, reports of a follow-up have ebbed and flowed, resurfacing once again on an Audi/Porsche platform.
Like the upcoming Porsche Cajun, the project codenamed LM00X is reportedly based on the Audi Q5 platform. The LM00X could retain the Cajun's three-door body-style, infused with Lamborghini styling and the lightweight construction themes spearheaded by the Sesto Elemento concept. Word has it that the new twin-turbo V8 being developed for the Audi S7 and Bentley Continental would find its way into the Lambo crossover's engine bay, though we wouldn't be surprised to see the Raging Bull's own V10 on offer, tipped to arrive as soon as 2012.
Lamborghini to return to SUV market
"The LM00X is set to cost well over £100,000 when it goes on sale in 2012."
From all my reading so far i've seen that its either based off of the Q5 or Cayenne. AND that its suppose to be revealed in 2012. I'm not sure if its still in the works or maybe that all the aventador news has taken all the spot light. Since the LM002's had the Diablo engines will the replacement carry the aventadors, or will they develop something completely new? I read both possibilities of a v8 and a v10....
What do you guys know what have you heard? I really hope the LM002 successor is worthy of the LM badge.
The daddy!
