What’s up with these high performance car makers? I mean, some time ago rumors kept going around regarding a possible Lamborghini SUV, then we’ve heard about a Ferrari SUV and now Spyker wants to build an SUV and launch it in 2009. Probably encouraged by Porsche’s success with the Cayenne, these guys also want a piece of the cake. In a recent conference, Victor Muller, Spyker’s president said that Spyker plans to release more models in the next years, including the D12 SUV.

With the D12, Spyker wants to give more attention to the Eastern European markets, where they say that the demand of luxury SUVs is pretty big. Still, Spyker’s largest market remains the United States and Muller also said that US production could be possible one day. If you ask me, I think he’s just talking, because it is known that Spyker is not doing very well now, having to deal with management and financial problems. But still, who knows, maybe he’s not just talking and knows something we don’t.

First thing we thought of when we saw these photos was a white shark. Doesn’t really look like Lamborghini’s bull, but it’s definitely aggressive. So, what’s this, you are seeing here? Well, it’s the Lamborghini Embolado concept car created by Luca Serafini, student in final year of the Industrial Design Course at the University of Parma, Italy. And it’s a cool concept, not like the Lamborghini Alar, which was relesed few months ago, but we didn't presented it yet.

When Luca designed the concept, he thought of it as a replacement for the current Gallardo model and the whole design starts from the Gallardo. The name Embolado comes from a Spanish festival, named “Embolado Bull” (or Toro Embolado). Luca even created a Superleggera version of the Embolado. Of course, probably Lamborghini will never take this seriously, but still, it’s a great design. You can also check Luca Serafini’s page on deviantart.

So, what color of Lamborini Embolado do you prefer? Yellow or grey? If we had that money we would definitely go for yellow!
