Lamborghini LM00X
Lamborghini is reportedly planning to grow its product line from two to five models in the next few years and compete in entirely new segments.
Inside Line reports the Lamborghini is planning to introduce a new Miura based on the Audi Le Mans with an upgraded 6.5L V12 engine producing 700 horsepower. Perhaps hoping for a piece of the SUV pie before it's all gone, the company also is preparing the LM00X, a high-performance sport-ute. Lamborghini will be building the SUV based on the same platform as it's parent Audi's Audi Q5.
The Lamborghini SUV is now being known as the Lamborghini LM00X. It will feature two different choices of engines - a 400hp supercharged 4.2 V8 and a 500hp supercharged 5.0 V10. It's expected that the Lamborghini SUV will debut in 2008, while the Audi Q5 it's based on will be released in 2007.
Finally, a new Lamborghini Espada 2+2 coupe is also in the works, though whether it would be mid-engine or front-
engine is still up in the air. As a bonus, Inside Line also says the next Lamborghini Murcielago could get a version with an all-new V12 producing 1,000hp, which would make it the first direct competitor for Bugatti's Veyron and give parent company VW two ultra-mega-super-exotic cars in its stable.
