Lamborghini’s Beijing-Bound SUV Leaked?

Written by Naption on January 31, 2012. Posted in Rides

The rumor of a Lamborghini SUV has been kicking around since the day the LM002 died. Bentley has confirmed theirs, Maserati is set on the Kubang; if there is a perfect time for a new Lamborghini SUV, now’s it. And if there’s any place to reveal a quarter-million-dollar SUV, it’s Beijing.

Italian publication quattroroute.it has leaked this image of an Aventador with ground clearance purporting to be the new Lamborghini SUV. It’s unclear at this point if it’s a leak or a rendering, but based on how similar this looks to an Aventador, we’re thinking rendering. Powering the ultra-SUV will be the Gallardo’s V10 in base trim and a top-trim hybrid drivetrain — due in 2015– cranking out 700 hp. The hybrid part of this rumor sounds unlikely by 2015.

Going along with the rendering/leak is the rumor that Lamborghini will will show the first concept of this at the Beijing Motor Show in April.
