Lamborghini to build the Estoque or the LM00X SUV, What do YOU think?


A few days ago, a report came out that Lamborghini is teaming up with Porsche to build its very own SUV that will be based on the Porsche’s latest GT architecture. While this news poses a shift in philosophy for the Raging Bull and could potentially undermine its tradition, the latest word, at least according to Car and Driver, is that Lamborghini is "on the fence on which model will join the Gallardo and the Aventador in the lineup".

Apart from this long-rumored SUV, it’s been codenamed as the ’LM00X’ the other choice is the production of the Estoque. The Italian automaker is considering both vehicles, but has made it known that only one is going to be green-lighted for production.


While no decisions have been made yet, the company is looking at October as the time to decide. As it stands the SUV has a slight edge over the Estoque because the car will be on a class of its own as far as high-end SUVs are concerned whereas the Estoque will have its hands full going up against competitors like the Porsche Panamera Turbo S, the Aston Martin Rapide, and the recently launched Ferrari FF. Personally I don't think the FF can be compared to the Panamera nor the Rapid.

The final decision is still a few months away, but it’s never too early to put your opinion. I, personally would prefer seeing the Estoque finally come alive after years of drooling over it. Besides, just like Ferrari, the words ’Lamborghini’ and ’SUV’ don’t belong in the same sentence.
