Sweet Ride....Lamborghini SUV


So the perfect scenario would be that you are a sports car lover but have to drop the kids off at school. Well most sports cars aren't very family friendly. Especially a Lambo.

How about a Lamborghini SUV? That would be perfect. Haha. How many mofos do you know that can take the sports car grocery shopping. Sorry. I know that most of us can only dream of having anything close to a beautifully sculpted mess of metals, rubber, oils, and paint that is a Lamborghini.

So bring on the REM!

Here she is. After years of speculation and controversial spy pictures. A successor of the not so popular "Rambo Lambo" (LM002) built in the 1980's. And once thought to be a new prototype of the Porsche Cayenne SUV. Too large and too many frame alterations for it to deceive the crafty lookers. Here is a bit of info from TopSpeed.com,

"The question is what are going to be the performance of a SUV made by a supercar market? Under the bonnet where will be the same 5.0 liter V10 engine used in the Gallardo, but the weight of the SUV will make the car slower. Maximum output will be around 500 hp and the Lambo SUV will hit an estimated top speed of 175-180 mph."

"The 2009 Lamborghini SUV will also get the 4.5 liter V8 engine used in the Cayenne. Also the European market will get the 5.9 litre V12 diesel engine used in the Audi Q7."

So there we have it. The year 2009 might just bring in a new slick version of a whacked out hybrid. I can't wait to get one. But am I the only one who thinks it is a bit ridiculous. A Lamborghini is a Lam bor ghini. A sleek, stylish, futuristic, booty-gettin', expensive speed-demon. And an SUV. An SUV is either for a gangster of sorts who enjoys paying to much for gas while cruisin' with homies or spending time on the river. Or for the middle-aged house wife with four kids and a dog who runs errands all day. Eh, oh well. We shall see how well she sells and to what demographic.
