Post Lamborghini SUV Confirmed, What Do You Guys Think?

A Lamborghini SUV has basically been confirmed to some reporters by the corporate guys at Audi, so what do you guys think?

Rumors say for power it might have a 575 HP Direct Injection V-10 engine combined with an electric motor to make over 700 horsepower....could also have a direct injection V-12....
As for the chassis, it might also have the underpinnings (ofcourse upgraded and lightened up to solidify its position as the ultimate SUV above even the Cayenne Turbo) of the next generation Cayenne (which is said to be way better/stronger/lighter than the one underneath a current 2012 Cayenne Turbo).....so what do you guys/girls think?
Bentley is also going to make a twin-turbo V-12 luxury SUV for sure now also (which will be either an upgraded Continental GT twin turbo V-12 or a twin-turbo version of the all new 6.3 liter DI V-12 in the new A8 W12)...so the Bentley will probably be the larger of the two with a lean towards pure british luxury with brute yet silent V-12 power underneath, while the Lamborghini SUV might go towards the smaller size with a slant towards sport driving characteristics in order to be able to smoke a BMW X5/X6M and such......sounds interesting.....

The LM002 looked like it came off of the same assembly line as the Russian Lada! This looks better but still not my cup of tea.

I wonder if this will inspire MB to build a G or GL65

Not that bad. Probably astronomically priced though.

Thumbs up Updated pic of Lambo SUV

this pic is from this week's edition of Autoweek magazine....in the online version its red, and in the printed version they give a picture of what a yellow one might look like.....

From what they're saying...the maximum weight will be 4200 lbs, so they might try to get it around 4000....which is much less than the 4600 or 4900 lb high-powered SUV's out there right now....combine that with the Gallardo DI V-10 and the electric brake-regenerating motor for a total of maybe 670 HP....and we could easily see 0 to 60 MPH in 3.5 seconds with a dual clutch transmission and AWD.....its gonna be cool no matter what though....

I'm having some work done to my car at West Coast Customs here in Dubai, stopped in the other day and immediately thought of this thread - they have an original Lambo SUV in for some work;

That's an SUV.

This too.


I guess I don't see the attraction to crossovers.

Why do you suppose that it looks very Q7/Cayenne-esque? Lol.
