It looks like the plans for Lamborghini's four-seat, four-door car may be on hold. My colleague Jared Paul Stern reported last fall on Lamborghini's unveiling of the sedan concept at last fall's Paris motor show. The car, which was designed for everyday use, was to sell for around $200,000.

Autocar quotes Maurizio Reggiani, the firm's head of research and development, as saying the timing and market conditions aren't right for the project. Lamborghini had just gotten going on the Estoque so it was early enough in the conception stages that no serious money was lost. For now Lamborghini will concentrate on the Gallardo and Murcielago leaving the Estoque as a potential project to be reconsidered at a later date.
