Make no mistake, the Asterion could be driven, it was a fully functional prototype (Lamborghini even tested this V10 with three electric motors setup in their Tosca prototype, hiding underneath an Aventador bodyshell, making the Tosca the only V10-powered Aventador in the world), but in the end, the concept was retired into the official factory museum.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_457116\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-457116\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-457116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2023-Lamborghini-Estoque-is-back-4-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-457116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo copyright 2008 Mark Smeyers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The response to both the Asterion and the Estoque was mainly positive, but somehow management decided to shelve both concepts and go for an SUV as the third model in the line-up, so the 2012 Lamborghini Urus Concept was shown at the Beijing Auto Show, and the Estoque never made it into production, and it would take another five years of development and a massive expansion of the factory in Sant&#8217;Agata to get the Lamborghini Urus Super SUV ready for production by late 2017 with deliveries in early 2018 &#8230; many clients were actually hoping for Lamborghini to bring the Estoque back, but the market for a large, high-power sedan just wasn&#8217;t there anymore, so it made no sense for Lamborghini to put resources into that market segment &#8230;

This brings me to the next point, some state the new Lamborghini GT would be a 2+2 model with just two doors, but take a look at just how long this initial profile looks, it wouldn&#8217;t make any sense to have just two doors with that body style, so my guess is we will really be getting a four-door Super GT from Sant&#8217;Agata this time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_457115\"

ancient in car history these days, but you&#8217;ll have to admit the styling of both the exterior and the interior of this prototype has aged pretty well, sure the angular styling dates the car to the Gallardo and Murci\u00e9lago era, but is that such a bad thing?
