More than three years after the Estoque sedan concept was unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the clamoring for a production version of the supercar has yet to die down. Lamborghini CEO Stefan Winkelmann refuses to shut the door on the possibility of a production version of the Estoque, saying that the car "was placed on hold because of a number of reasons, including the lack of a suitable platform."

Better late than never, right?
We're now on the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS, the luxury sedan that kicked off the whole "four-door coupe" craze. Since then, Volkswagen countered with the CC, Porsche launched the Panamera, and Audi won us over with its A7. So what about BMW? Now that the big 6 Series coupe has taken hold, the German automaker has added a proper back seat and two additional doors to create this, the 6 Series Gran Coupe.

Alas; a production car with the looks and the technology of a concept that won’t cost an arm and a leg to buy. The long awaited Fisker Karma finally made its public appearance at the Detroit Show, and if anything else, the four-door coupe is one sexy piece of machinery in and out.

The Iso Rivolta S4/Fidia, first presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1967, and produced between 1967 and 1975 was the only four-door model from Iso. In total 192 were built.
The second Fidia made (and the first with right hand drive) was purchased by English rockstar John Lennon: the car had celebrity appeal.
“The World’s Four Fastest Seats” was the Iso marketing slogan for the S4/Fidia.
The body design was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro (then at Ghia).

Ferrari boss Amedeo Felisa has said the firm will ”never” follow rivals Aston Martin and Porsche into making a four-door sports saloon.
“As Enzo [Ferrari, company founder] would say, we will never do four doors,” said Felisa. “And we will keep this tradition.”
When it was put to Felisa that once upon a time Ferrari would not have made a hybrid vehicle or had fuel-saving stop-start technology on its cars – two things it is working on now – he said: “Hybrid was forced on us by regulation, there is no regulation forcing us to do four doors.
“Frankly speaking no-one is asking for a four-door Ferrari. If you want a four door Ferrari we have a Maserati.
“We stand 60 years and we never needed four doors. What never means, I don’t know, but one of the strong points of Ferrari is to keep the product in the right way. I’m not saying four doors is not right for the image, but it’s not part of our heritage.”

When the Lagonda launched in 1976, potential buyers were amazed by the original style (a William Towns design), the exclusive price tag (similar to a Rolls-Royce), the Battlestar Galactica-type interior and the touch screen (remember that this was 1976) — even though it failed more often than it rains in London. As a result, 645 cars were produced over a 15-year period. That's very few, even for an Aston Martin.

Maserati showed the first-generation Quattroporte in 1963! This 4.9-litre V8 4-porte (design by Giugiaro) is series III (1979 introduction). Between 1980 and 1990, 2100 models were produced of which the first 50 were 4.2-litre versions and the last 55 Royales. The Quattroporte was used by Sandro Pertini, during his seven years as President of the Italian Republic.
