The Lamborghini Estoque Prototype
Unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the Lamborghini Estoque represented a revolutionary vision for the bull brand. This four-door sedan concept measured 5.15 meters in length and featured a typically Lamborghini sculptural design, with its taut lines and sharp angles characteristic of the Reventon era.
The prototype was equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 engine producing over 560 horsepower, positioned in a front-mid layout to optimize mass distribution. This innovative technical architecture was paired with all-wheel drive, ensuring the sports performance expected of a Lamborghini while providing the spaciousness of a prestigious sedan.
Although technically advanced, the Estoque never made it to market. Lamborghini preferred to focus its efforts on the Urus, the SUV that would revolutionize the brand's lineup a decade later.
Lamborghini in 2008: A Brand in Transition
The year 2008 marked a turning point for Lamborghini. Under Audi's aegis since 1998, the Italian brand was exploring new avenues while preserving its sporty DNA. The Estoque was part of this expansion of the range, alongside the Gallardo, which was enjoying remarkable commercial success.
Founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the brand had built its reputation on assertive supercars like the Miura, Countach, and Diablo. The arrival under the Volkswagen Group umbrella had brought financial stability and technical resources needed to consider new segments, while maintaining the revolutionary spirit that characterizes every creation from Sant'Agata Bolognese.
The Estoque: When Lamborghini Dreamed of Challenging German Sedans
The story of the Estoque reveals Lamborghini's secret ambitions in the mid-2000s. The name chosen, which means "sword" in Spanish and refers to the weapon used by the matador for the final thrust, reflected the manufacturer's desire to deliver a fatal blow to the competition in the luxury sports sedan segment.
The development of the concept required substantial investments, particularly to design a novel platform capable of accommodating four real seats while preserving the elegant proportions expected of a Lamborghini. Engineers even planned various powertrains, including a revolutionary hybrid version for the time.
Paradoxically, it was the financial crisis of 2008 that sealed the Estoque's fate. The Volkswagen Group preferred to concentrate its resources on more consensual projects, believing the market was not yet ready for a Lamborghini sedan. This strategic decision would prove wise a few years later with the triumph of the Urus, which would revolutionize Lamborghini's approach to new segments.
Today, the Estoque remains in memory as one of the most beautiful concept cars ever created by Lamborghini, embodying an alternative path that the brand could have taken in its evolution towards electrification and diversification.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
