Reports overseas are strengthening the suggestion that Lamborghini is preparing to jump into the Gran Turismo field with a four-seat version of the Aventador, likely to be unveiled next year,
Britain’s Car magazine says the Aventador GT will appear next March at the Geneva motor show, dovetailing close to the expected on-sale schedule of the Aventador Roadster, which is tipped to be revealed later this year -- possibly at Los Angeles motor show.
While we might only see the Aventador GT as a concept – if it exists at all – the report claims it will have an extended wheelbase and two small jump seats, with access to the rear row through an altered door configuration including suicide panels.
The design changes would make for a softer shape than the two-pew Aventador it’s based on, Car says. The concept would also mean a considerable redesign of the flanks and rear of the Aventador to accommodate the changes on a mid-engined platform.
Lamborghini is on a campaign to build up their bottom line by building more practical models -- like the Urus SUV -- that will attract more buyers in emerging economic giants like China and Russia, where there’s a taste for luxury but the road infrastructure is still too primitive for a supercar to survive long.
And while the idea of a four-seater Lamborghini seems wildly unlikely, we thought the same thing at the first rumour of a four-seat Ferrari, too.
