Is the striking Lamborghini Estoque sedan concept from the 2008 Paris motor show dead? Not exactly.
The question lingers in light of the debut of the Italian's brand's latest creation, the Urus concept, which is likely to join the lineup in the coming years.
Lamborghini, under the watchful eye of CEO Stefan Winkelmann, has evaluated other third-model-line options, including a four-door sedan previewed by the arresting Estoque concept.
"It [the Estoque] was placed on hold because of a number of reasons, including the lack of a suitable platform," he said. "We haven't given up on the idea of a sedan entirely, but we see more potential in a sport-utility vehicle encapsulating typical Lamborghini attributes."
Autoweek named the Estoque its Best in Show at Paris in 2008.
Addressing a wider customer base than the Gallardo and the Aventador was a prerequisite for the Urus, which Lamborghini says offers accommodation for up to four adults and a generous amount of luggage space. A lot of its early design conception has been placed on everyday usage and its compatibility for families and leisure pursuits.
