The production Lamborghini Urus started testing early this year. These spy shots of a production Lamborghini Urus
captured in Germany, giving one of the clearest looks yet at the SUV. The
Lamborghini Urus will debut on 4 December.
The Lamborghini Urus stays close to the concept
version. The rising beltline, sloping roofline, muscular wheel arches, large
wheels and flattish back glass give a very dynamic look to the Urus.
Underpinning the exotic Italian SUV is the Volkswagen Group’s MLB-Evo platform
shared with the Bentley Bentayga and Audi models, including the Q7.
Lamborghini will offer the Urus with a 4.0-litre
twin-turbo V8 petrol engine at launch. The first turbocharged engine for the
company will develop 650 hp in this SUV. Neither the Urus nor any other
Lamborghini will have a diesel engine option, as it is will not the DNA of the
brand. A plug-in hybrid option – also a Lamborghini-first, will follow a year
after launch.
Lamborghini will produce the Urus, which it proudly
calls “the first super sport utility vehicle in the world”, alongside the
Lamborghini Huracan and Lamborghini Aventador S at its Sant’Agata Bolognese
plant in Italy. The European launch will take place in Q2 2018 (April-June
2018). The company plans to manufacture 1,000 units of the coupe SUV next year.
If the demand is higher, this figure will increase to 3,500 units in 2019.
