The Estoque, which we dare call a sedan is measure 5.15 meters long, carries a front end in familiar Lamborghini style with gaping diamond shaped air intake scoops linked by a lower spoiler. The Estoque, named for the sword use by the Matador in a bull fight, is in fact planned as mid-engine with the motor placed at the back of the front axle. The car sits very near to the ground at just 4.43 feet high, but still provides plenty of internal spaces for all four passengers due to the extended wheelbase of over three meters. Aggressive and great design of the cars carries through into the hood with its v-shaped sound and harshly cut side emit. Beneath the cover we are likely to find the 560 hp V10 since the Gallardo LP 560-4, and of course with all-wheel-drive.
