Except for the fact that what you just said is completely untrue.If lambo do get sold, it will be to porsche. The Lambo SUV is being developed along side porsche, as it was porsche who actually did alot if not most of the development of that chassis. Also is has been rumoured that porsche wants audi and lamborghini.
Maybe not many, but Diamler certainly can since DiamlerChrysler owned them during the Diablo-era. And given that the car last 11 years, showed DiamlerChrysler had something for them.Like scaff has said, lambo would run into difficulties if it were to become independant, and there arent many manufacturers who could come along and swoop lambo up, with the japanese being the most financially capable of doing so.
But as the VAG boss did say lambo cant sustain themselves at the time being, and it will require the introduction of two more models before it can stand on its own two feet without assistance and favours.(and im sure he knows alot more than us on how lambos doing, as it is his job after all.)
Please, give us a source, rumour thread or something to back that completely groundless post up.^^Lambo lied
Lamborghini Lagartijo
The modern-day LM-series: a monster 4x4-supercar crossover on a version of the Touareg/Cayenne/Q7 platform, with exclusive-to-Lamborghini V10 engine, apparently. Rumours tell of RX-8-style rear 'suicide' doors to maintain a coupe-like body outline.
funny that because you wont listen to anything else those VAG executives say.
The Audi owned Italian sports car maker Lamborghini is building an SUV again.
This strange looking Porsche Cayenne is actually a mule for the coming SUV by Lamborghini. Because Porsche did most of the work when developing the VW Touareg and the recent Audi Q7, they also got the responsibility to do the development of the Lamborghini SUV.
Engine will probably be a version of the V10 known from the Gallardo and Audi S6 and S8, but also a 4.5 liter V8 from the Cayenne could be available. A diesel version is also in the plans, with the 5.9 litre Audi V12 TDI. This engine is a real masterpiece and has an enormous power output of 500 bhp and 1000 Nm of torque.
Between 1982 and 1993 Lamborghini built approximately 300 SUVs with the name LM002 , a monster powered by the V12 from the Lamborghini Countach with first 375 bhp and later on 455 bhp. At that time it was a very unusual decision from a sports car maker that was primarily known for high-performance grand tourers and super cars. But with the success that Porsche is having with the Cayenne, plans for a Lamborghini SUV are growing again.
Based on a modified Cayenne platform, the development costs will be kept low and with that raging bull on the hood Lamborghini is able to charge good money for a car that is in fact a Porsche Cayenne. Of course the design will stand out, and the sound of that V10 will get their owners the status in the asphalt jungle that they want .

This cars existence has been squashed by VAG a numerous amounts of time yet even so mules still running about after they said they were not making one.
These shots were taken roughly a month after the lambo executive said there would be no SUV.
and then heres some more recent info on the project.
Just stop posting.
Provide sources from now on if you want a response because all you're doing is ass-kissing VAG, which is probably only due the fact that it owns Audi.
Please, show some sort of intelligence.
Article=November. The fact that the test mule does not prove anything to do with Lamborghini, despite what this article may think or even after the fact, Lamborghini executives said nothing would happen further proves it.
The ending statement also shows that executives were true to the word. They said, no suv again in December.
I have done. I would have thought you knew as your sig says that you are a Lamborghini nut.

They have said no SUV quite alot, yet the mules kept appearing. Why would they continue to repeat themselves it the rumours were false? No other manufacturer does that, and its not how VAG traditionally handle thing.
As it goes the suv rumours persist and I think lambo are bluffing for obvious reasons. Only time shall tell, but lambo have got to be developing something, especially seeing as the two current models have a thing for spotaneous self combustion.

Don't try to play the engine recall game, esp. when nothing is provided. I've only seen 1 person make a report on his Lamborghini engine, and that was 1 person, like the 2 people who reported Corvette engines blowing.
And the site in question is?Thats because the site is down!
Once again a picture of a car on fire or after a fire does not tell you why it occurred.But I dont know about you, but to me considering the amount of lambos that have caught on fire is a little more than just coincidence. The Murcielago also seems to be flawed in where it just suddenly veers of the road. Could explain why there are so many more lambo crashes compared to fezzas and porkas.
An you know the risk of crashing was reduced because you were in the car, involved in the testing programme, are a test driver for Lamborghini?Hell even 3 lambo test drivers managed to crash somehow on straight roads, or near straight roads doing public road testing in which they shouldnt be running any extra risk of crashing at all.
Oh I know about the 80's 911 accident record but thats completly different.
Imagine you were cruising along in your beemer or merc and all of a sudden you veer off the road, thats what the lambo is supposedly doing, the 911's of the 80's were just raw and unforgiven ready to bite your head off as you give it some stick.
The lambo is half comfortable with 4wd, it shouldnt be throwing you off the road on a straight.
And the lambo test drivers that crashed were testing a unduisguised car, and the other two times they were driving to a media function, and the other time whilst a magazine was testing the car. The magazine testers said the car didnt feel right or save, and didnt want to push the car, so the lambo test driver did and he crashed it. Again thats more than just a coincidence.
Check this site out. http://www.lambounfall.de/indexe.html
Theres loads of crashed and burnt lambos but for some reason exotic wrecks wont let me view the murcielago section.
The website in question Scaff, is wreckedexotics, and even they don't always know the stories. They just put what they think many times when they get a photo in.
And the LP640 and the higher end Lamborghini range have also been described as raw and unforgiving on the limit.Oh I know about the 80's 911 accident record but thats completly different.

And you have direct experience of the first and a verifiable source for the second?The lambo is half comfortable with 4wd, it shouldnt be throwing you off the road on a straight.
All of which could have involved pre-production cars, I would also be interested in which magazine it was and if possible details of the article in question (and not just you saying "It said".....And the lambo test drivers that crashed were testing a unduisguised car, and the other two times they were driving to a media function, and the other time whilst a magazine was testing the car.

So, three pre-production cars were crashed either due to driver error or the pre-production car having a fault.3 lambo test drivers crashed murcielagos on public roads.
Not that many TVR's are crashed yet TVR's are a bitch to drive in the wet and are not the most sound cars on the planet reliability wise. But since there are probably less crashed TVR Tuscans than there are Honda civics on a cashes to models made ratio, the Tuscan must be a better built car. Right.Sorry dont know about you guys but I have lost faith in lamborghinis. If I ever have a chance to go in a ride with a muercielago I will think twice, because the crash per model made ratio is quite frankly far too high.
Now your argument has changed, now Lamborghini's arn't spontaneously combusting, instead they are setting alight after a heavy crash, a possible reason for this has already been given.And *mclaren* you are naive to think that "something spilled" onto that blue murcielago. You can clearly see that flames poured out of the back of that exhaust. And also, isnt it a bit funny that lamboghinis have a much higher tendancy to break out into flames after a crash. Again try and show me some porsches and ferrari's which burn after a crash on a similiar scale.
The cuyrrent Lambos do not take after the Muira in any way other than by being Lamborghinis.I know audi wanted the lambo's to still have some lambo DNA and character, but taking after the miura probably wasnt the smartest of moves.
If you want I'll find 20 pictures of crashed Audi S4's and then I've proven that they're shokingly bad cars to drive. The question is WHY they crashed. If they are all driver error or because of someone else hitting them then it has nothing to do with Lamborghini build quality. Personally I've never heared any reviews or long term professional opinions that display Lamborghinis in a bad light in thoes ways.Scaff - what more credible info do you need other than 20 different pics of murcielagos crashed? And those are just the ones that got recorded.
Show me where these 3 Lamborghini test drivers have.3 lambo test drivers crashed murcielagos on public roads.
Show me where 3 ferrari test drivers have crashed the same (im talking in modern times here) model ferrari, or porsche etc.
Show a source on this as well.Sorry dont know about you guys but I have lost faith in lamborghinis. If I ever have a chance to go in a ride with a muercielago I will think twice, because the crash per model made ratio is quite frankly far too high.
I said it looked like something spilled on it because I didn't know fire leaves white stains.And *mclaren* you are naive to think that "something spilled" onto that blue murcielago.

What does that Miura have to do with this? The Miura never had combustion problems, in fact, it was a pretty perfect car to begin with.I know audi wanted the lambo's to still have some lambo DNA and character, but taking after the miura probably wasnt the smartest of moves.
What he wants is sources that tell the cars crashed because of engine combustion, not just random wrecked pictures. Even you should have figured that out.Scaff - what more credible info do you need other than 20 different pics of murcielagos crashed? And those are just the ones that got recorded.
Not quite, the Muira generated a lot of lift at high speed at the front, so as our speed got faster the weight over the front wheels reduced and the steering dissapeared.What does that Miura have to do with this? The Miura never had combustion problems, in fact, it was a pretty perfect car to begin with.
