Lamborghini could have a successor to the original LM002 if the prototype in these latest spy shots turns out to be the latest test-mule from the Italian supercar manufacturer. Although the prototype is dressed in the sheetmetal of a Porsche Cayenne, the widened fenders and lowered front-end suggests that this is no ordinary SUV.
Earlier reports suggested that Porsche’s next-gen Cayenne would be smaller and sportier than the current model but this test-mule is clearly larger. Rumors that it could be a new SUV model for Bentley are also unlikely to be true given the speeds the prototype has been seen reaching around Germany’s Nurburgring.
Based on a modified version of the Cayenne platform, the new Lambo SUV will likely feature the Gallardo’s V10. This could be followed by a smaller 4.5L V8 model and possibly a diesel variant running Audi’s 5.9L V12 TDI.
Lamborghini’s immediate plans will see it launch a new Murcielago-based-supercar at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show and possibly a new V8 - powered entry-level Gallardo.

In the other thread it says this is a new 928 coupe mule and here it's a Lambo SUV...

That's definitely not 928. It's a SUV platform, for God's sake.

Lambo SUV?

I doubt it very much.

As much I doubt this is a Bentley SUV.

Mk2 Cayenne mule is probably the best answer.

That's not a SUV. This car has been flying around the ring at crazy speeds. It's the 928, Porsche also used the Cayenne body wheel for early Panamera testing.

Thats possible but wouldn't be easier to use the Panamera for that as they run off the same platform - this is more likely the Cayenne II as development for that should be well under way given the recent facelift and would put it on track for a 2010 model year release - 6/7 years after the Mk I

Correct me if i am wrong - i am sure i have read some where in this forum that the next Cayenne will sit lower and be much wider than the current model?

Centurion

I guess your right. This might be early testing for the next Cayenne. After all, the current one has been on the market for a long while and is based on a rather heavy an un-porsche like platform.
