Lamborghini have never made a four door sedan but that could be about to change as CEO Stephan Winkelmann touched on the possibility recently. Seen as a move to take on Porsches Panamera and Aston Martins Rapide, Stephan said a third model would fit Lamborghini very well. Lamborghini showcased the prototype Estoque at the 2008 Paris motor show but since then all has been quiet. The Estoque is a four door supercar with a 500hp V10 from the Gallardo. Supercar fans have panned Porsche for building 4 door sedans, but during a time of financial hardship, its income from these cars that have enabled the manufacturers to continue making the sports cars.

Lamborghini has announced its most successful model ever, with the company producing the 10,000th Gallardo. The number 10,000 Gallardo is finished in Midas yellow and is destined to go to the Chinese market. The production record is being celebrated in Shanghai during “Lamborghini Day”. This is the first event of its kind in China and showcases eight Lamborghini cars. "Production of car number 10,000 is a very important milestone for Lamborghini,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Lamborghini brand is extreme, uncompromising and Italian, and the Lamborghini Gallardo has played an exemplary role in defining and delivering our brand reputation into our worldwide markets. Today Lamborghini is represented in 45 countries by over 120 dealers, with the strength and presence of the Gallardo product playing a significant role in the growth and recognition of our brand.”

Lamborghini have recently announced the new lightweight Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, which provides even greater performance than the standard Gallardo. Pronounced “Soopa lay jeera”, it means superlight and is built just like every other Gallardo, but has most of its trim replaced by carbon-fibre, saving 154lb (70kg). It will be the lightest car that Lamborghini currently builds and its 5.2-litre V10 will generate 562bhp, giving a top speed of 202mph and 0-60mph acceleration in 3.4sec. It will be available later this year and whilst there may be a queue to buy it new, those wishing to hire this car may have to wait that little bit longer for it to find its way to the hire market.
