    Any guesses?

    From Lamborghini Cars Web Site

    Quote:
    According to a source at the factory there will be a new Lamborghini model shown during the 2004 Geneva Motor Show.
    This model will actually be presented on March 2nd 2004 to a selected few, you will need a pass to be able to get a preview of the car that Automobili Lamborghini SpA will show at the Motor Show when the doors open on March 4th.

    The 74th Geneva International Motor Show will be open from March 4 to March 14, and will draw a lot of visitors as always, with the introduction of a new Lamborghini I'm sure even more people will try to get a glimps of the Italian masterpieces that will be shown, among other cars naturally.

    What this new model will be can not be published right now, we'll have to wait and see if other news will be available from the factory before March, but at this moment the only thing that can be said is that there will be a new Lamborghini in the stand this year !

    Re: Any guesses?

    I have heard that too. But I think they'd want to put out more sports cars first, not that they'd really need too. A front engined GT wouldn't be such a bad idea, as that probably will become a booming sector fairly soon.

    Didn't they want to bring a Gallardo GT?

    Re: Any guesses?

    Right, there is a rumored stripped out Gallardo GT.

    So there will be one of five rumored models making it's debut; Gallardo GT, "300kph" SUV, 2+2 front engined GT, Murcielago roadster, or Gallardo roadster. I wouldn't be suprised if we see something in Paris as well.

    My guess is a new 2+2 concept.

    Re: Any guesses?

    My guess is an SUV is a totally new model, or the Murcielago barchetta or Gallardo barchetta if not new models.

    Re: Any guesses?

    I think the two plus two will make the most sense for a new model.

    Re: Any guesses?

    I forgot to mention that Audi does plan on doing a 2+2 coupe variant of the next A6, so this adds further support to my idea that it will indeed be a 2+2 coupe.

    Re: Any guesses?

    I still think it'll be an SUV and there'll be something but I agree with you I'd prefer a 2+2. Although with the edge design of the current lineup, it'll look weird!

    Re: Any guesses?

    My money is definately on the Gallardo Barchetta (a.ka. Spyder/Roadster) for two reasons: one because rumors expect it to be unveiled this summer. And two, I doubt it will be a new model so soon such as SUV or 2+2 since I find it very hard to believe that they managed to keep a completely new model completely 100% secret before being unveiled at Geneva (we knew of the murc and specially the Gallardo "project L140" long in advance) and specially so close after dedicating their resources for the lauch of the Gallardo.
    There are rumors of a third model but its probably way too early in its development and still in the drawing board to be unveiled at a motor show yet. But with these efficient germans running the halls of the Lamborghini factory you never know

    According to Italiaspeed, we will see the Murcielago Barchetta as the third Lamborghini model in Geneva.

    Yep, concept in Detroit, final version (which is said to be very close to the concept) in Geneva.

    Thanks rossi, that was the doubt I had

    The car should be quite a site for the eyes in its barchetta version, but I wonder if the weight has gone up even further than the coupe version if its based on the same chasis.

    You're right, a Murcielago without a roof but with the weight of a Bentley GT...

    Well, that will please Bilal at least.

    Sorry Bilal, not a personal vendetta. I just couldn't control my typing fingers!
