Somethings should just not happen. Such as, going on a long road trip with kidswithout a DVD player, or trusting my mom to find her way without a car navigation system. Another example of “somethingthat should happen” is that high performance car companies should not makeSUVs. Well, news came out today that Lamborghini is doing just that. The rumors have finally been confirmed by a senior source atAudi that the Lamborghini SUV is indeed, in the works. Unlike their old giant LM002 that went out ofproduction in 1993, this SUV will be a much smaller crossover. The car has noofficial name yet, but the project goes by LB 736.
The gossip started when an Italian magazine wrote a storyand posted renderings of what the vehicle might look like. The car in the magazine borrows the stylingof the Aventador, and looks like the platform could be that of the Audi Q7.
Speculation is that the LB736 will have a version of theGallardo’s 5.2 Liter V10, and boasts 700hp. There is no way that your kids will arrive late to soccer practice inthis SUV. The size of the engine meansthat this Lamborghini will have no competition. No other high performance SUVseven come close to 700 horses.
Some Lamborghini traditionalists are going to wish this hadnever happened, and honestly I do not know how I feel about it. I do have a lot of time to decide though,because the car is not going to go on sale until 2015. I also have a lot of saving to do, because itis going to cost upwards of $200,000.
