Start with what the Lamborghini Estoque is: a 4-door saloon with 5.2&nbsp, built from 2008, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Filippo Perini.

Where it came from

The Lamborghini Estoque (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtoke]) is a one-off concept car built by Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. Unlike Lamborghini models as of 2008, which were mid-engine, two-seater sports cars, the Estoque is a four-door sedan.

Under the skin

The engine is 5.2&nbsp. On the scales it comes to 1665 kg. Drive goes through a 7-Speed Dual-clutch transmission. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 3010 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Nissan 370Z, the Tesla Roadster, the Nissan GT-R. Nearby in the Lamborghini catalogue sit the Lamborghini Calà and the Lamborghini Marco Polo.
