    by edmunds.com:

    SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy — The car Lamborghini will unveil at the 2008 Paris Auto Show will be something completely different, Inside Line has learned. Following the release of the teaser photo for the concept, Lamborghini executives at the home office in Italy today told IL: "You have no idea. We've been buried in phone calls and e-mails from every country on Earth."

    A Lamborghini executive told IL that the Paris car will not be at all retro in the fashion of 2006's Miura concept. "But nor will it be so closely influenced by the Reventón as so many people seem to think," he quickly added.

    So we should not expect to arrive in Paris and see just another Versace version, or a Super Veloce, or even the obvious Superleggera something or other.

    What we should expect is a four-door Lamborghini high-luxury gran turismo with the engine in front but behind the front axle, most likely sharing the architecture with the next Audi A8. "Safe to say," says our source, "that we have every resource available to us from the family of companies." Rumors of any tie-in with the Panamera architecture, given recent Volkswagen-Porsche developments, "are out of the question."

    We are also advised to not expect anything warm and predictable harking back to a Marzal, an Islero, an Espada, a Jarama, or an Urraco. And, it can here be inferred, no super SUV.

    Lamborghini confirmed that this project began less than five months ago and was green-lighted independently by Lamborghini bosses before seeking Ingolstadt's approval. The goal with the new four-door is to bring the brand out to a wider luxury sporting public. The show car has been constructed completely in Italy, purportedly in the Sant'Agata studios with the assistance of some Audi design workers.

    So, it seems that the big story in Paris is bound to be the advent of the luxury exotic sedans: Lamborghini's four-door is joined by Porsche's Panamera, and we eagerly await the definitive iteration of the Aston Martin Rapide.

    "Lamborghini is at a point," said the executive, "where we can set off in new and plausible directions with the entire brand image. In a sense, we need to be able to tell customers what they ought to like about our brand. We're the experts." In this vein, IL also learned that no advance focus groups were convened to get approval of likely heavy-hitter customers.

    In addition, the execs hinted clearly that this new super sedan is meant to do comparatively significant volumes and carry a range of engines which includes the current V10 in the Gallardo and probably the V12 from the Murciélago. While getting down to a V6 is improbable, a new-generation V8 is likely for a base model. There is no word on whether or not one version will provide rear-wheel-only traction.

    What this means to you: The bull is ingeniously broadening its pasture and stealing every headline. Can a Ferrari four-door response be far off? — Matt Davis, Correspondent

    It has to be the Murcielago/LP640 replacement.

    It'll most likely be the LP640 SV

    I hope it is a replacement LP640. I really do not want to see a 4-door lambo.

    At least if it is a 4 door, it is probably going to be fairly outrageous looking. Not some bland soulless ... cough*panamera*coughcough

    Newest news:
    Lamborghini got us all up in a twist with the revelation of this small teaser image that shows only an exhaust and a diffuser on a new model slated for unveiling in a couple of weeks at the Paris Motor Show. While previous reports postulated that Lamborghini was preparing to unveil a four-door model, the latest suggest, somewhat more credibly, that the new vehicle is actually the Superveloce version of the Murcielago LP640.

    Like the Reventon, the Superveloce may command a considerable premium at 382,400 euros (almost double the price of the regular Murcielago) and could be offered in extremely limited numbers of just 100 units. In return, buyers will get an exclusive lightweight supercar with styling inspired by the Reventon and an additional 30-40 horsepower on tap. When it becomes available sometime next year as a 2010 model, the LP640 SV will likely be the last distinguishable version of the Murcielago before the exotic, originally introduced back in 2001, is replaced by an all-new model. Of course, these reports could be inaccurate as well, especially if Lamborghini hopes to live up to the presumptuous line that accompanied the teaser image – It's not just a new Lamborghini. It's a new world. – with anything more than another special edition of an aging model.
