2008 Lamborghini Espada

Lamborghini, a division of Audi AG, is said to be preparing several new sports cars that will revive classic Lamborghini names, like Miura and Espada.

One of the proposed models is a 2+2-seater coupe, a reincarnation of the Espada that could resurrect the originals front-engine layout or shift to a mid-engine, four-seater configuration.The latter-day Espada could be derived from the Audi Le Mans and from the Gallardo.

The choice of engine options ranges from the Audi V-8 to the Gallardos V-10 and the Murcielagos V-12.

A mid-engine derivative could be production ready by late 2007. A front-engine Espada would likely not appear before 2009.
