Lamborghini Trademark for “Deimos” May Point to Future Model

Lamborghini has filed paperwork to trademark the name "Deimos," leading us to think this could find its way onto a future product. A son of Aphrodite in ancient Greek mythology, the god Deimos was the personification of terror and dread. What better name for a Lamborghini than the god of scaring the crap out of everyone? The rub is that Deimos isn't connected to bulls or bullfighting in any way we can tell; perhaps a famous bullfight involved a bovine or matador with this nickname. Lamborghini's Islero was named for a bull that killed famed matador "Manolete" in 1947. We know that Lambo is planning an SUV concept for this month's Beijing auto show. The replacement for the Gallardo, which is currently in development, will also need a badge. Lamborghini has used nearly all of the trademarks it has filed for recently, so we expect to see Deimos on a concept or production vehicle at some point. from Car and Driver Blog http://blog.caranddriver.com
