Lamborghini has finally introduced a supercar that you can
drive every day without fretting about damaging the super-expensive bodywork on
every other speed hump.
Yes, the Lambo SUV is finally here and it looks just as
sharp and crazy as all the supercars the Italian marque has ever built. Called
the Lamborghini Urus, it’s named after a whole breed of bulls instead of a
particular fighting bull like most Lamborghinis. The Urus was first showcased
in its concept form at the 2012 Beijing auto show and its incredible
Lamborghini hasn’t changed much in terms of design on the production version.
All the striking design features of the concept have been retained and it’s
unmistakably a Lamborghini.
The Urus is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that
delivers 650 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. Lamborghini claims the
Urus has the best weight-to-power ratio of any SUV on the market which has
helped it to become the fastest production SUV in the world. The Italian
carmaker quotes a 0-62 mph (Kmh 100) time of 3.6 seconds, a 0-124 mph (kmh 200) time of 12.8
seconds and a top speed of 190 mph (Kmh 305) for the Urus, which can put many modern
sport cars to shame. The largest carbon-ceramic brakes ever to be fitted on a production
car, adaptive air suspension, active roll stabilization, and 4-wheel steering
are also part of the package. Lamborghini plans to build about 1,000 units of
the SUV next year then increase the volume to 3,500 annually starting in 2019
which will double the company’s production. There is no word on the pricing as
of yet but it is expected to start below $200,000. (Euros 169.800).
