New Lamborghini Teaser Looks Like An All-New Estoque

We've been given our first glimpse of an all-electric Lamborghini before its reveal later this week at Monterey Car Week after Lamborghiniconfirmed the news last weekthat we'd see a prototype of the first-ever Lamborghini EV.

The Italian marque teased the side profile of the car across its social media platforms and on itscustomer-facing website, showcasing a swooping roofline of a 2+2 grand tourer, captioning the posts with: "Something new and truly thrilling is about to be unveiled. August 18th. Save the date."

Lamborghini mentioned nothing specific about the vehicle, but you'd have to have a big Lamborghini-sized blind spot not to notice more than a passing resemblance to the Lamborghini Estoque concept of 2008. You can compare the two side by side in the images below. See the resemblance?

There are minor differences between the two, as the hood of the new prototype appears shorter and more sharply raked. That's because instead of the front-mounted 5.2-liter V10 of the original concept - which was the first front-engined Lamborghini since the LM002 SUV - the new car will be electric, giving Lamborghini designers the freedom to play with the proportions.

However, we can't deny the stark similarity between their greenhouses, particularly by the C-pillar, telling us that Lamborghini could be looking at the old design for its upcoming EV.

The original concept was originally slated for production but was ultimately canned due to financial limitations. But since the automaker is now racking uprecord-breaking profitsthanks to the Urus, Lamborghini now has all the space to invest in developing the four-door into reality.

We've also known since the first announcement of an electric Lamborghini that it would take on the shape of a 2+2 grand tourer.
