The Lamborghini Urus crossover will initially be available with a
twin-turbo V8 with around 660 Hp of power.
The Urus crossover will be launched near the end of
2017, and will go on sale in Europe during the second quarter of 2018. US sales
are due to commence in the third quarter, with Australian sales likely to begin
in latter half of the year.
About a year later after its launch, Lamborghini
will launch a plug-in hybrid version of its big-money crossover. The plug-in
hybrid will feature the same twin-turbo V8 engine. Under the skin, the Urus is
expected to use a version of the Volkswagen Group’s MLB platform for front- and
all-wheel drive vehicles. The Urus will be closely related to the Audi
Q7 and Bentley Bentayga.
The Urus will be produced at
the company’s factory at recently expanded Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese
factory. If everything goes according to plan, the Urus will
double Lamborghini’s annual sales, with the company capping output of the
Huracan and Aventador sports car to around 3500 annually.
