Raymond 0 Posted April 11, 2009 Apparently Italian sports car maker Lamborghini has revealed that it has canceled its 4-door Estoque project. Like many other canceled projects, the reason behind this is the uncertain world economic climate, but we are not sure about the nature of this cancellation, is it a complete shut down or just a temporary measure? Rumor also has it that the auto maker will not switch its e-gear automated manual to a dual clutch transmission which is now more widely used by many auto makers. Apparently, Lamborghini’s customers prefer using the more “dramatic” e-gear, instead of a dual clutch setup which is a little too smooth. We will bring you more details regarding the cancellation of the Estoque 4 door coupe project once an official word is released from Italy. In reference to recent rumors regarding the cancellation of the 4-door Estoque project, Lamborghini has released an official statement concerning the matter. The short but direct statement indicated that the auto maker was not planning in putting the Estoque into production in the first place. Apparently, during the 2008 Paris Motor Show, when the Estoque concept was first shown to the world, Lamborghini only mentioned that “if” the auto maker wanted to add a third line-up into its model range, the logical thing to do is to introduce a 4-door coupe, like the Estoque. Anyway, this is what the auto maker revealed in the release: “In reference to recent press coverage commenting on cancellation of its Estoque project, Lamborghini has not taken any decision to produce its Estoque concept car, the four door performance saloon concept shown at Paris motor show in 2008″. “As stated when the car was shown, Lamborghini believes that if a third model line should ever be added to its product line up, a four door luxury performance saloon could be a logical product strategy. No decision has been made to produce the Estoque”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
