Well, such is the way the world works – one eventually has to pander to the demands which scream “daily driver,” even if you happen to be making supercars. According to a report, Automobili Lamborghini is mulling over the addition of an “everyday” model to its line-up, so says its CEO, Stephan Winkelmann.
“We are going to have a third model. It has to be an everyday car. We want to have a car which is able to be used on a daily basis,” Winkelmann was quoted as saying. Of course, the company hasn’t quite firmed up yet in which segment the car will belong to, but he added that once a decision is made, it’ll take about four years to put the new bull on the road.
The report adds that Winkelmann states that Lambo isn’t planning to work with a partner on the new model, but he did also say that the company will use synergies where possible within the Volkswagen group.
In related news, the new Aventador is certainly turning out to be a brisk seller – not due until the second half of the year is it due, but it’s already sold out for the first one and a half years of its production. And, while sales haven’t quite returned to the heady levels of 2007, the company’s record year in which it sold 2,430 cars, Lambo should be well on the way to around 1,500 cars this year, a couple hundred more than in 2010.

Murcielago -> Gallardo -> Agogo? lol
Miura,Espada,Countach,Jalpa,Diablo,Murcielago,Gallardo,Islero,Jarama. There certainly have been quite a few Lambos before Gallardo and Murcielago
i tink he mentioning about line-up, not per generation.. altho murcilago has been replace w/ aventador
Yes i know. Just mentioning the various Lambo car model names that were used in Lambos history. Most don’t know. Btw there are Aventadors destined for our shores to meet their proud new KL owners. At least 2 units. Will be quite amazing to see them on the road this year
As mentioned in the articles; thousands of motor-wet-dreams & posters won’t make you a profit. Guess the Lambo “daily driver” would be a GT to rival the Astons & Ferraris. Another Espada revival attempt?
it will have a small engine (smaller than the 6.5 V12 at least) , but built from exotic materials to keep its weight down , increase economy n performance n to justify its price tag…
could be a california rival , or the estoque….
One of the best news for today!
Actually,I’ve been dreaming of a Lambo SUV.I think Lambo’s design language can really make a nice super garang SUV.
Lambo did produce the LM002 off roader at one time. The Hummer’s ancestor. Powered by the V12 Countach engine. Only popular in the middle east.
In recent times as part of their study for a ‘third Lambo’ they said that it would either be an SUV or a 4-door GT car. The latter was produced as a concept design, called Estoque. I think that is what they’re looking at. The LM002 in the late 70s/early 80s was a failure
The Estorque?
they want to make an everyday car after the sesto elemento…. niceee…. ferarri surely starts the fight with its amazing 4wd FF.
this car is for gigogo =))
