Italian supercar maker Lamborghini will re-enter the four-wheel-drive market with a three-door SUV, expected to be unveiled at the Beijing motor show in April.
It's the spiritual successor to the LM002 of the 1980s and will be called the MLC.
The Lamborghini SUV is the company's second attempt at a
third model line. Reports say the SUV project has gone beyond being a simple concept car, and is almost certainly bound for production in 2015.
It will be based on the platform that will also be used on the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg and Bentley SUV.
However, Lamborghini has been given free reign to modify the platform to bring the car's kerb weight down and t that end engineers have been developing carbon-fibre versions of key cabin structures.
