SUV, 2 + 2 Projects Cancelled

[a007apl]

"According to our buddy Chris Paukert, formerly of Autoblog, who’s now posting for Winding Road, AutoExpress reports Lambo’s scuttled plans to build successors to its Espada GT and super-bad LM002 SUV (pictured) of the last millennium. Word had been swirling for years that a project to build a new 2+2 — an homage to the company’s odd Espada of the 1970s — was on, then off, then on again. Likewise for a new, high performance SUV — less radical than the shikh-bait LM002 — based on the VW Touareg / Porsche Cayanne / Audi Q7. Both projects are reportedly off, but there’s not word on whether the company will do the right thing and build the Miura concept for production."

It will be the best thing to see Lamborghini producing the new Miura, i really hope someday they do it

Someday when they can design it the right way!


The best new model for Lamborghini to do next would be a 2+2 GT,

But hearing that they are not going to make an SUV is not a bad news for me.

Same here, the Miura was not the thing to do IMO ... They should produce the 2+2 and the SUV is not really a good idea in these times

The Miura concept, from the beginning was never meant to hit production afaik

Quote from Stephan Winkelmann “I believe the future of this firm lies in increasing our cars’ power-to-weight ratio rather than outright strength."

Those are very wise words, I just hope he lives up to it.
