2011 will be the year that the LP700-4 Aventador is hitting the streets and the LP550-2 Spyder is introduced at the IAA 2011. For 2012 the Italians are planning the roadster of the Aventador and the handover of the Sesto Elemento to limited amount of buyers. 2013 will be all about the Gallardo replacement, 2014 sees the Estoque four-door sedan and the Gallardo replacement Spyder. A year later you can expect the LP700-4 Super Veloce and the Estoque convertible. According to the forum member, 2016 will be the year of the LP700-4 coupe and roadster facelift. 2018 sees the Gallardo replacement facelift and 2019 sees the LP700 Jota. The year 2020 will include the release of the Estoque sedan/convertible facelift and an Estoque coupe concept. Finally, the 2021 sees the LP700-4 replacement and the Estoque coupe.
On the subject of the Aventador, the company debuts the roadster a year later. The roadster features a carbon fiber, multi-piece top that mounts to hidden hardpoints on the chassis and stores flatpack-style in the boot. Two-years later they add the Aventador SV, which loses 150kg over the standard car, through the usual carbon interior and general lightening, and gains 50hp and a big carbon fiber wing. The SV will be a 2015 model-year only run, limited to 350 cars. In 2016 the Aventador coupe and roadster get a facelift and the SV engine upgrades to become the LP750-4. The styling tightens up the rear end with a new diffuser, full-width mesh grill and redesigned tail lights. The front-end gets wider grill openings, and new contour to the nose.
The final encore of the Aventador debuts in 2019 with the LP850-4 Jota. Utilizing cast carbon-silicate materials for the gearbox cases, differential housings and some carbon fiber suspension pieces, the Jota weighs 250kg lighter than the standard car, and 100kg lighter than the SV, while putting out a full 100hp more than the facelifted standard car. The Jota will be a 2019 model-year only limited run of fifty cars and the final Aventador.
Lamborghini’s first four-door sedan debuts in 2014, powered by the same next-gen V10 as the Cabrera. Offering great performance, unassailable luxury and an exclusive cache unrivaled by any other saloon car, the Estoque shakes up the high-end luxury sedan segment. In 2015, the company reveals a two-door, four-seat convertible concept version of the Estoque, to rave reviews. The convertible goes into production the following year, as a 2017 model. The Estoque receives the now traditional “five-year facelift” in 2020. Simultaneously Lamborghini floats a shortened Estoque, two-door/2+2 coupe concept car, aimed directly at the luxo-sport coupes from England and Germany. The coupe arrives in dealer showrooms for 2021.
The above does not include the inevitable Hybrid/Alternate Fuel/Alternate Powerplant concept cars and production car variants. A hybrid/alt version of the Estoque is likely, as well as a kinetic-energy recycling Cabrera. The flagship Aventador is possibly the final, pure gasoline only Lamborghini. These predictions only cover the major bodystyle/engine output variations of the model range, and do not include “Paint&Stripe” special editions, like the Murcielago Versace, Gallardo SE, Bicolore, Tricolore and Nera.
