Should Lamborghini Build A Taycan Alternative With Porsche's Help?
Potentially built on a shared platform with Porsche, here's why there's a chance of the Estoque name to resurface in the future as Lambo's first EV
Lamborghini once envisioned to create a super sedan with a 5.2-liter nat-asp V10 under its hood.
Called the Estoque, and it made its first appearance at the 2008 Paris Motor Show
Unfortunately, the Estoque couldn't make it to production, mainly because of the evolving popularity of SUVs
Lamborghini is going the hybrid route. First with the Revuelto, then came the Urus SE and the Temerario
However, the Lanzador concept, which made its debut in 2023, marks Lamborghini's venture into the EV space
While the Lanzador isn't making it to production yet, there's a fine chance of the Estoque nameplate to emerge as an EV in the future
Now, the Estoque's revival I'm talking about could happen with the help of Porsche, especially the Taycan
Platform sharing is very common within the VW Group and Lamborghini's own Urus SUV is a great example. It shares its underpinnings with the Audi Q8. VW Touareg, and the Bentley Bentayga
So, it's possible for Lamborghini to use the Taycan's J1 platform, which was co-developed with Audi that also carries the e-tron GT
Like all Lambos, the Estoque EV should have enough grunt to snap your neck
I'm thinking of the Taycan Turbo GT's setup would be just the right fit
It's 1092 hp and 988 lb-ft of torque should be enough for the Estoque EV, should it become reality
Interestingly, someone spotted a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N outside Lamborghini's factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
Could the Italian automaker use this electric crossover to take inspiration for some bits of its upcoming EV?
