2009 Lamborghini SUV ?

Yannis · 11-28-2006, 03:44 AM

The Audi-owned Italian sportscar maker Lamborghini is building an SUV again, it seems, from prototypes spotted in Europe.

This strange-looking Porsche Cayenne is actually a mule for the upcoming SUV by Lamborghini. Because Porsche did most of the work when developing the VW Touareg and the Audi Q7 , they also got the responsibility to develop the Lamborghini SUV.

The engine for the new ute will probably be a version of the V-10 from the Gallardo and Audi's S6 and S8 , but a 4.5-liter V-8 from the Cayenne could be available. A diesel version is also in the plans, using the 5.5-liter Audi V-12 TDI.

Between 1982 and 1993 Lamborghini built approximately 300 SUVs under the LM 002 badge. The monster SUV was powered by the V-12 from the Lamborghini Countach, making as much as 455 hp. At the time, Lamborghini's offering was seen as an oddity. But with the success that Porsche has had with the Cayenne , a Lamborghini ute doesn't seem so offbeat now.

Our photos show the SUV prototype wearing Cayenne body panels, as well as a computer image giving an artist's impression of how a future Lamborghini SUV could look.

That would be totally kick ass! Lambo pretty much invented the genre, so it's only logical to step in again with an uber SUV. That PS looks awesome!!!

You have to be kidding me! That looks awesome? The front of 'Lardo and rear of Astra GTC? That looks awesome?

klier, did you "walk your dog" today?

I'd like to see some spy shots of the actual Lambo in camo, but i suppose we'll have to wait a little longer to see that.

Anyways i look forward to a Lamborghini SUV, sure it will never be useful, but most likley it'll be cool.

I thought they firmly said NO to SUVs because they are a low-volume sports car maker or something like that.

Oh well, another one...

I'll just say Y E S (again) Lambo+Audi = World Cars. From A1 to LP640 Roadster! Do you need more ??!

Lambo LP High (SUV)

lOl, If Lambo does go in this direction I would hope it wouldn`t look like that ps

Didn`t Lamborghini give us the LM002, I believe it was called back in 79? I wouldn`t mind seeing an evoultion of that orignal design instead of Gallardo faced SUV. The LM002 wasn`t that handsome but is was orignal!!
