2009 Lagartijo
There are rumors that for the 2009 model year, Lamborghini might be building a successor to the Espada. The Lamborghini cheif designer, Luc Donckerwolke, thinks it is best to broaden the Lamborghini imagination and add something new to the mix. Something besides just the Gallardo and Murcielago.
The story is based around the discovery of advanced design studies by student Emily Sawamuru that were developed as part of a Lamborghini-sponsored at the Pasadena Art Center in California. The Center is one of the world’s top automotive design colleges, and carmakers often use students for this purpose. The car itself looks set to be a four-seater GT based on an Audi-supplied aluminium space-frame chassis.
The report on the Lamborghini Lagartijo suggests that the 6.2-litre V12 will be front-mid mounted, and that it will generate a hefty 620bhp and a seriously meaty 511lb-ft of torque. It shares its name with the famous matador who spared the life of the famed bull Murciélago. The car, if produced, may run around $300,000 USD.
