Lamborghini Urus: World’s Fastest SUV
Lamborghini Urus: World’s Fastest SUV
Let’s make it simple, let’s go straight to the point: Lamborghini has presented the Urus, the fastest and most exclusive SUV in the world. It does not deny the legacy of the LM002, but look at it as a real supercar for when the city center is clogged with traffic and you have to reach your appointment through bumpy or muddy terrains, all of this going full throttle. A little ‘dramatized, but this is the sense, also keeping in mind that the differences compared to the concept car are minimal and that the look of the SUV from Sant’Agata Bolognese is as sharp as the tip of a spear.
Four or five seats, four-wheel drive and angular line as a Huracan under steroids, the Urus is the first Lamborghini with a turbocharged engine, an Audi twin-turbo 4-liter V8 capable of releasing 650 horses for 650Nm torque, under a weight of less than 2,200kg. The end of the world will be grounded on all four wheels through an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, letting you go from 0-100 kph in just 3.6 seconds. Top speed? 305 kph! There is a torque vectoring that will best manage the power on all single wheels, ensuring maximum grip when you face slippery grounds, as much as it does when you pull out the unmistakable Lambo spirit of this Rambo-Lambo of the XXI century. As with the Aventador S, the Urus is also equipped with steering rear wheels, so as to virtually “shorten” the wheelbase during maneuvers and ensure better cornering at high speeds.
And then there are 21-inch wheels, or the huge 23-inches, carbon-ceramic brakes and a cockpit full of noble materials, but with the sole objective of instilling the utmost madness and sportiness that few other brands are able to do. At the center of the dashboard there is a large touch screen that dominates all the other controls, while on the tunnel we find our beloved button to fire the engine, this time flanked by all the essential to manage the height from the ground, traction and the Anima (soul), through which to select the preferred driving mode, whether it is Strada, Sport, Corsa, Sand, Gravel or Snow. With prices starting from € 206,000, you will bring home the ultimate SUV, the result of a commitment by Lamborghini that has brought new employments and even the construction of a dedicated production plant.
