Nice! Would this be considered a station wagon?

[PIC] When it was shown it was described as a "4-door sports saloon"
Here's a link to a report:
It was based on the Lamborghini Espada, which had a very similiar rear end ("Is it an estate? Is it a hatchback? Well actually, it's neither") but was a 2-door.

The Faena was a styling exercise by Frua but doesn't appear on the official Lambo website even as a "one-off" or a "concept". So apparently they want to pretend it never happened. I think they had decided that only 2-doors suited their image.
Incidentally, for anyone who is interested, "faena" is a Spanish term referring to the final series of showy passes with the cape made by a bullfighter just before the kill, and is obviously a sideways reference to the fact that Lambos were all named after famous breeds of fighting bull (Miura, etc.)

I would say it´s a five doors sport saloon...
Like an actual BMW 4 Series or a Audi A5...
