BREAKING NEWS:
2009 Lamborghini SUV Preview...
The huge LM002, also known as the "Rambo Lambo" build for General Gadaffi in the 80s will soon have a successor. After many denials from the company, spy photographers caught a few prototype testing. Of course the real car was hidden under the sheetmetal of a Porsche Cayenne, but no one was deceived by this little disguise.
There are two things that made everyone know we are watching the Lambo SUV under the skin of that false Cayenne: one - the prototype tested was huge compared to the next generation Cayenne that will be smaller and sportier than the current generation. And second, the widened fenders and lowered front-end are not from a regular SUV. Conclusion: we are watching something big! Future Lamborghini SUV that will be unveiled sometime in 2009.
Where were also rumors telling that this might be a Bentley SUV, but the one who saw the prototype on the race track said that the testing speeds were too high for a luxury SUV.
The question is what are going to be the performance of a SUV made by a supercar market? Under the bonnet where will be the same 5.0 liter V10 engine used in the Gallardo, but the weight of the SUV will make the car slower. Maximum output will be around 500 hp and the Lambo SUV will hit an estimated top speed of 175-180 mph.
The 2009 Lamborghini SUV will also get the 4.5 liter V8 engine used in the Cayenne. Also the European market will get the 5.9 litre V12 diesel engine used in the Audi Q7.
The SUV will be based on a modified Cayenne platform. The company wants to keep the producing cost as low as possible, so they ca obtain good money from it. The V10 engine and a Lamborghini style design will make this thing easier to achieve.
Talking about the new SUV, company boss Stephan Winkelmann said: "An SUV would fit the brand. Weve done one in the past."
Conclusion: cant wait for 2009 to come so we can this this crazy beast on the streets!

A Lamborghini is just a more stylish, more powerful, sexier, slicker version of Ferraries

Any way, i dont think it's a good idea for Lamborghini to release an SUV, specially when it's made for production.
Top 3 Supercars Ever:
1- Porsche Carrera GT
2- Koenigsegg CCX
3- Ford GT

It IS a photoshopped Gallardo. I saw the spy pics of the concept they WERE working on. Rumor is that Lamborghini is going to dump the project. It's undecided, though, since Audi still wants to come out with something that will compete against the Porsche Cayenne. Audi was testing out a concept SUV for Lamborghini (based on the Q5) and a concept SUV for, believe it or not, Bentley, but they scratched the Bentley idea off early on and kept working with Lamborghini, but now they're just not sure what to do. Unless I'm mistaken, though, Lambo and Audi are still working together on a new Espada.
My ideal garage (10): 1995 McLaren F1 LM, 2005 Koenigsegg CCR, 1990 Lamborghini LM 002 Americana Estate Paris Dakar, 2000 Lamborghini Diablo Coatl, 2005 Gemballa Mirage GT, 2000 Hamann M Roadster, 2004 Hamann HM 7.0, 2005 NISMO R34 GT-R Z-tune, 2005 Maserati MC12, 1993 Jaguar XJ220 w/open exhausts
