Four door Lamborghini to be revealed at Paris Motor Show?


Two Lambo posts in a day? We sure spoil you

Mystery Lamborghini

The folks at Top Gear Blog have been slipped the teaser image above, said to represent the rear diffuser of a brand new Lamborghini that may be revealed in Paris next month. Frankly, it gives so little away it could just as easily be a picture of a microwave, but there are wild rumours of it being a four door model - their first since the (fairly shite) LM002 ‘Rambo Lambo’.

Whether it’s a four door, a 4×4 or an ‘entry level’ model to slot in below the Gallardo, it is sure to steal all the attention at the Motor Show.

Stay tuned to grid Crasher for more details as they come in.
