You can see company car drivers all over Europe, thinking up a case to convince their fleet managers that this is the car for them. It’s practical, it’s a saloon, it’s got four doors. So far so good, but the argument is likely to fall down when they reveal that it also costs an estimated €250,000 plus, has a top speed in excess of 200mph and carries a Lamborghini badge.

The Lamborghini Estoque was shown to the public for the first time at the Paris Motor Show. Based on an all-new aluminium platform, it is the first ever four-door saloon from the Italian luxury car company. The Estoque has a 5.0-litre V10 engine, producing some 500bhp with all wheel drive.

Officially Lamborghini say the Estoque is still a concept, but it is widely thought that it will get the production green light to take on new saloon rivals from Porsche and Aston Martin.
