Estoque Paris Preview

Lamborghini apparently couldn’t contain its excitement about the concept car it calls Estoque, named for a bullfighter’s rapier. Slated for a formal reveal tomorrow at the Paris Motor Show, the four-place, four-door sports sedan was shown off today in full-view, hi-res photos. And we can now see why Sant’Agata is so excited. We’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

Technical details are scant at this point. But the company is categorizing the drivetrain layout as mid-engine, the motor being located behind the front axle on a long 10-ft wheelbase. Naturally, all-wheel-drive is part of the mix, as is a suspension worthy of the supercar this is.

The company says the Estoque is but one of “several possibilities for a third model series in the Lamborghini product line-up.” We can only hope. In the meantime, check out the gallery by following the "read more" link. We’ll let you know how it goes in Paris this week.

UPDATE (Aug 4) to get a sense of the Estoque's lines and proportions, watch this animation.
