Sneak Peek Up Date: Lamborghini 'Panamera'


Lamborghini will unveil a shock new front-engined, four-seater at the Paris motorshow, Autocar has learned. It will be priced to compete with the likes of the Ferrari Scaglietti and forthcoming Aston Martin Rapide.
Lamborghini hasn't produced a four-seater car since the Espada of 1978, but the company has decided to join the growing trend for mega-luxury four-seaters among its rivals.
The car will use a V12 engine and have four-wheel drive, with its underpinnings rumoured to be based on Audi's spaceframe architecture.
Three 'teaser' shots of the car have been released so far, but we'll get to see the full production version at the show next week.
The car has been developed under tight secrecy at the personal behest of Ferdinand Piech, say well-placed insiders within the VW group. He seems determined to take the wind out of the sales of the rival Porsche Panamera, which doesn't go on sale until 2010.
We'll bring you the technical details when we get them, but expect a top speed on the far side of 200mph with 0-60mph in less than four seconds. (Thanks to Autocar for News and Pictures).
