Up until this point, Lamborghini had not decided whether to build a sedan or an SUV as its third model. That was the whole point of building both the Urus and the Estoque concepts - to determine which will get the best response from potential customers.
However, the tilted automotive world we live in means that SUVs are always going to have priority over larger sedans. AutoWeek had an interview with the big boss at Lamborghini, and while we can’t completely rule out a production Estoque, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of the stealth bomber that is the Urus SUV.

However, give that the Urus is only expected to hit the shelves in 2015 or later, there’s still time to reconsider.

"It was placed on hold because of a number of reasons, including the lack of a suitable platform. We haven't given up on the idea of a sedan entirely, but we see more potential in a sport-utility vehicle encapsulating typical Lamborghini attributes,” Lamborghini CEO Stefan Winkelmann said.
