Lamborghini mostra sexta foto de sedã

Enquanto não começa o Salão de Paris, carro é revelado aos poucos

A Lamborghini liberou na manhã desta terça-feira (30) a sexta imagem de sua principal atração no Salão de Paris, o Estoque. Trata-se de um sedã-cupê de quatro portas, que deve inspirar um dos próximos lançamentos da montadora localizada em Santa Ágata, na Itália. Embora a montadora faça tanto mistério com o carro, nos últimos dias, vazaram na internet possíveis sketches do esportivo, que será revelado dia 1º de outubro, quando o salão abre as portas à imprensa.

Muito Boa Foto

Lamborghini Estoque aparece

Após ser revelado aos poucos por meio de teasers, o tão esperado Lamborghini Estoque aparece, pela primeira vez, por inteiro. As imagens vazaram na internet antes de o modelo ser apresentado à imprensa amanhã (2), quando o Salão de Paris será aberto aos jornalistas. O conceito de sedã é a principal atração da montadora italiana na mostra parisiense.

Apesar de serem fotos em baixa resolução, elas revelam a novidade em diversos ângulos. O Estoque terá comprimento de 5,15 metros e um visual pra lá de invocado. Trata-se de um cupê de quatro portas, com linhas inspiradas nos demais carros da marca. Os faróis, porém, são mais finos, e o pára-choque dianteiro apresenta grandes entradas de ar. A linha de cintura é bem alta, o que torna os vidros baixos, como nos superesportivos. A traseira é mais larga que a frente, dando mais robustez. Revelada anteriormente, a lanterna também é fina e dá a cara de um sedã para a traseira do Estoque

Sob o capô, ele traz o mesmo V10 de 560 cv que equipa o Gallardo LP-560. Naturalmente, a tração é integral. Especula-se que a versão de produção chegará ao mercado em 2010, com motores V8 supercharger, além de uma versão híbrida e outra com o V12 turbodiesel vindo do Audi Q7. O modelo chegará para aquecer a briga entre os sedãs de montadoras especializadas em superesportivos. A Porsche atacará de Panamera, enquanto a Aston Martin mostrará o Rapide. E, pelo visto, a Mercedes-Benz precisará efetuar boas mudanças no CLS, precursor deste segmento.

After to be disclosed to the few by means of teasers, so waited Lamborghini Supply appears, for the first time, entirely. The images had leaked tomorrow in the Internet before the model being presented to the press (2), when the Hall of Paris will be opened the journalists. The silk concept is the main attraction of the Italian assembly plant in the parisiense sample. Although to be photos in low resolution, them disclose the newness in diverse angles. The Supply will have length of 5,15 meters and an appearance pra of invoked there. Cupê of four doors is about one, with lines inspired by the too much cars of the mark. The lighthouses, however, are finer, and the front for-shock presents great air inlets. The waist line is well high, what it becomes low glasses, as in the superesportivos. The back is wider than the front, giving more robustness. Disclosed previously, the lantern also is fine and of the expensive a of a silk for the back of the Supply Under the hood, it the same brings V10 of 560 cv that Gallardo LP-560 equips. Of course, the traction is integral. It is speculated on that the production version will arrive at the market in 2010, with V8 engines to supercharger, beyond a hybrid version and another one with the V12 turbodiesel come of the Audi Q7. The model will arrive to heat the fight enters the silks of specialized assembly plants in superesportivos. The Porsche will attack of Panamera, while the Aston Martin will show the Rapide. E, for the visa, Mercedes-Benz will need to effect good changes in the CLS, precursor of this segment.

Lamborghini Islero

O Islero foi um modelo esportivo da Lamborghini que foi produzido entre 1968 e 1970. Sucedeu o 400GT e era equipado com motor V12.


The Lamborghini Islero is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1968 and 1969. It was the replacement for the 400GT and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. The car debuted at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show.

The Islero (pronounced "eez-LEHR-oh") was named after a Miura bull that killed famed matador Manuel Rodriguez "Manolete" on August 28, 1947 (Lamborghini also produced a car named the Miura, from 1966 to 1973).

Since Carrozzeria Touring, the company that designed Lamborghini's chassis, was bankrupt, Carrozzeria Marazzi was the next logical choice as it was funded by Mario Marazzi, an old employee of Touring. The design was essentially a rebody of the 400GT, but the track was altered to allow for wider tires and while the Islero's body suffered from a lack of proper fit between the panels, its good outward visibility, roomier interior, and much improved soundproofing made it an improvement over previous models. It had a 325 brake horsepower (242 kW/330 PS) 4.0 L (3929 cc) V12 engine, a five-speed transmission, fully independent suspension, and disc brakes. Its top speed was rated at 154 mph (248 km/h) and acceleration from zero to 60 mph took 6.4 seconds.[2] Only 125 Isleros were built.

An updated Islero, dubbed the Islero S, was released in 1969. The engine in this model was tuned to 350 brake horsepower (260 kW/350 PS), but the torque remained the same. There were quite a few styling changes, including brightwork blind slots on the front fenders, an enlarged hood scoop (which supplied air to the interior of the car, not the engine), slightly flared fendered, tinted windows, round side-marker lights (instead of teardrops on the original), and a fixed section in the door windows. Various other changes included larger brake discs, revised rear suspension and revamped dashboard and interior. The top speed of the S improved to 161 mph (259 km/h) and acceleration from zero to 60 mph 6.2 seconds.[3] Only 100 examples of the Islero S were built, bringing the production total of the Islero nameplate to 225 cars. Ferruccio Lamborghini himself drove an Islero during that era.

Lamborghini Miura

O Miura foi o modelo esportivo da Lamborghini que foi produzido entre 1966 e 1973.

The Lamborghini Miura is a sports car built in Italy by Lamborghini between 1966 and 1972. A mid-engined layout had been used successfully in competition, including by the Ford GT40 and Ferrari 250 LM at Le Mans. De Tomaso had produced a road car with this layout, the Vallelunga, but otherwise cars designed for the road were almost uniformly front-engined, rear drive vehicles. The Miura was a trendsetter, the one that made the mid-engined layout de rigueur among two-seater high performance sports cars.[citation needed] It is named after the Spanish ranch Miura, whose bulls have a proverbial attack instinct.

styling
Inspired by the Ford GT40 (now Ford GT), the Miura astonished showgoers at the 1965 Turin Motor Show where only the chassis was shown, with multiple orders being placed despite the lack of an actual body. Later, Marcello Gandini from Bertone, who would later go on to design many of Lamborghini's cars, was chosen to design the body. Both body and chassis were launched five months later at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. It was a sensation, with its flamboyant bodywork and unusual engine and clam-shell opening hoods on both the front and rear of the car. There was a small trunk located in the very rear of the tail behind the engine.


[edit] Miura models

[edit] P400
Early Miuras, known as P400s (for Posteriore 4 litri), were powered by a version of the 3.9 L Lamborghini V12 engine used in the 400GT at the time, only mounted transversely and producing 350 PS (345 hp/257 kW). About 275 P400s were produced between 1966 and 1969 - a success for Lamborghini despite its then-steep $20,000 USD price (approx. $114,000 in today's terms).

Taking a cue from the Mini, Lamborghini formed the engine and gearbox in one casting and they shared common lubrication until the last 96 SVs, which used a limited slip differential requiring appropriate oil.

It has been reported, but not confirmed, the first 125 Miuras were built of 0.9mm steel and are therefore a bit lighter than later cars. All cars had steel frames and doors with aluminum front and rear skinned body sections.


[edit] P400S
The P400S Miura, also known as the Miura S, made its introduction at the Turin Motorshow in November 1968, where the original chassis had been introduced 3 years earlier. It was slightly revised from the P400, including newly added power windows, bright chrome trim around external windows and headlights, new overhead inline console with new rocker switches, engine intake manifolds made 2mm larger, different camshaft profiles, and notched trunk end panels (allowing for slightly more luggage space). Engine changes were reportedly good for an additional 20 PS (20 hp/15 kW). Other revisions were limited to creature comforts, such as a locking glovebox lid, reversed position of cigarette lighter and windshield wiper switch, and single release handles for front and rear body sections. Other interior improvements was the addition of power windows and optional air conditioning was also available for $800. Less than 30 cars were fitted with Air Conditioning.[citation needed] About 338 P400S Miura were produced between December 1968 and March 1971.


[edit] P400SV

The dashboard of a Lamborghini Miura P 400 S - 1968The last and most famous Miura, the P400SV or Miura SV featured different cam timing and altered carbs. These gave the engine an additional 15 PS (15 hp/11 kW), to 385 PS (380 hp/283 kW). The last 96 SV engines included a limited slip differential which required a split sump. The gearbox now had its lubrication system separate from the engine, which allowed the use of the appropriate types of oil for the gearbox and the engine. This also alleviated concerns that metal shavings from the gearbox could travel into the engine with disastrous and expensive results.

The SV can be distinguished from its predecessors from its lack of "eyelashes" around the headlights, wider rear fenders to accommodate the new 9-inch wide rear wheels and Pirelli Cinturato tires, and different taillights. 150 SVs were produced. One SV was owned by Frank Sinatra.

There was a misprint in the SV owners manual indicating bigger intake valves in English size (but correct size in metric). The intake and exhaust valves in all 4 liter V12 Lamborghini remained the same throughout all models. This intake size misprint carried forward into Espada 400GT and Countach LP400/LP400S owners manuals as well.


[edit] P400 Jota
This one-off Miura (#5084) was the development of Lamborghini development driver Bob Wallace in 1970. The 'Jota' is the Spanish letter of 'J'. The 'J' designation represented the FIA's Appendix J racing regulations for which the 'Jota' was to conform. Only one was built, initially as a powerful test mule for future Miuras. Lamborghini sold the car after extensive testing. In April 1971, the car crashed and burned on the Brescia Ring Road.[1]


Once customers heard about the Jota, they requested their own "Jota". Lamborghini could not justify the expense of building a series of Jotas, so they offered an upgraded SV model instead. This model, known as the SV/J, featured upgrades to the engine, suspension components, exterior and interior.

Of the five examples of the Miura SV/J built by the factory while the Miura was still in production, two were built new (chassis #5090 and #5100) and three were converted from existing SVs (chassis #4934, #4860 & #4990). All of these still exist. Chassis #5100 is however the only SVJ to feature the dry sump lubrication system as per the mechanics of the original Jota #5084.

One of these cars, chassis #4934[2], was built for the Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shah stored this car under armed guard with another SV in Royal Palace in Tehran. After he fled the country during the Iranian Revolution, his cars were seized by the Iranian government. The SV/J was sold into Dubai in 1995. In 1997 this car was sold via a Brooks auction to Nicolas Cage, at US$490,000, becoming the model's highest ever price sold in an auction.[3] Cage sold the car in 2002.

A sixth SV/J was built at the Lamborghini factory between 1983 and 1987 from an unused Miura S chassis. This was made for the brother of Patrick Mimram, then owner of Lamborghini.[3]

Further Miuras were subsequently upgraded to SVJ specifications (trying to imitate the real factory SVJs) by various garages of Switzerland, USA and Japan.


[edit] Roadster
Another one-off, the Miura Roadster (actually more of a targa-model, but without any removable roof) was built by Bertone as a show car. Based on a P400, it was first shown at the 1968 Brussels Auto Show. After having been exhibited at several auto salons the car was sold to the International Lead Zinc Research Organization (ILZRO) who turned it into a display-vehicle showcasing the possibilities of using zinc alloys in cars. The car was named the ZN75. A few other Miuras have had their tops removed, but this Bertone Miura Roadster was the only factory open-top Miura.

In 2006 the ZN75 was purchased by New York City real estate developer Adam Gordon. Gordon had Bobilff Motorcars in San Diego, California return the car to its original Bertone Roadster form. The restored car was first shown in August 2008 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

For more information on this Miura see the International Lamborghini Registry page on Miura 3498. Also see Gordon's site on the Miura Roadster.


[edit] P400 SVJ Spider
This version of the Miura was actually displayed in 1981 at the Geneva Motor Show by Lamborghini, shortly after the new CEO Patrick Mimran took over the factory. The car was actually the yellow Miura S presented at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, reconstructed in 1980 in Spider by the Swiss Lamborghini Importer, Lambomotor AG. The Miura SVJ Spider was displayed on the Lamborghini stand with the other 1981 new models (Jalpa and LM002), equipped with wide wheels and a rear wing, in the context of the marque's revival, it was considered as a prototype for a possible limited series of Miura Spider. This car has therefore undergone numerous modifications / upgrades by various marque specialists. It does however remain a simple Miura S, such as presented at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show.


[edit] Details
Early Miuras were notorious for being a fire hazard. The problem was caused by Lamborghini's decision to use Weber 40 IDL 3C1 carburetors which were designed exclusively for racing applications and weren't suitable for road use. The problem occurred when the car sat idling (e.g. at a stoplight); the area above the throttles filled with fuel which often ignited when the car accelerated away from the stop. One of Lamborghini's engineers devised a modification for the carburetors which created a fuel-return. Ferrari, who used these same carburetors in one of their cars, and suffered the same problems, were able to use Lamborghini's modification to solve it.

Some other interesting details: the position of the fuel tank is at the front causing the vehicle to have less weight at the front as the fuel tank gets lighter (closer to empty), thus making the car more difficult to handle at more than 240 km/h (149 mph). Another detail is that the doors resemble a bull's horns when it is opened wide (Lamborghini's logo itself depicts a raging bull).

In 2004, Sports Car International named this car number four on both the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s and Top Sports Cars of the 1970s. The car was ranked number four on the list of the Top Sports Car of All Time.


[edit] 2006 Miura concept

2006 Lamborghini Miura concept.
2006 Lamborghini Miura concept at the Lamborghini Museum.A Lamborghini Miura concept car was presented at the Museum of Television & Radio on January 5, 2006 alongside the Los Angeles Auto Show, though it was not present at the show itself. Instead, the Miura officially debuted at the North American International Auto Show two weeks later. It was the first design by new Lamborghini chief, Walter de'Silva, and commemorates the 40th anniversary of the 1966 introduction of the original Miura in Geneva.

Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann has denied the concept will return the Miura to production, saying “The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura.”[4]
