NEWS: Four-saddle Bull

By Michael Banovsky

So don’t let rumours of a four-seat Porsche scare you off – Lamborghini is also readying its entry into the super-luxury-grand-sports-sedan segment with a car to be called the Lagartijo.

Lagartijo (we’ll let you come up with your own pronunciation, as if Murciélago and Gallardo weren’t hard enough) was the name of a bullfighting legend, who spared the life of the famous bull named…you guessed it: Murciélago.

It will be constructed in carbon fibre, share the Murciélago’s 6.2L V12 (620 horsepower), and sales will begin in 2009 at about $330,000 USD each.

But what happens when they run out of bullfighting names? Maybe they’ll start using names from their old tractors… Hey, the “Runner 450” doesn’t sound too bad, eh?
