Lamborghini has celebrated the Asian premiere of the
Urus by unveiling the super SUV in Singapore, one week after the vehicle’s
global premiere in Italy. The event was hosted by the ArtScience Museum in
Marina Bay Sands and given the region’s love for Lamborghini, it’s no surprise
that enthusiasts and fans turned up to the event in force.
In fact, no less than 122 Lamborghinis took to the
streets of Singapore on December 10 to celebrate the launch of the Urus,
setting a new Asian record for the largest number of Lamborghinis driven in a
convoy.
Lamborghini believes the Urus will double the
brand’s annual sales and Asia is being targeted as one of the SUV’s most
important markets. In China, prices start at 3,130,000 CNY (roughly US$ 473,000).
Sitting at the heart of the Urus is a twin-turbo
4.0-liter V8 engine delivering a satisfying 641 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque.
This allows for a 0-100 km/h time of 3.6 seconds, and a top speed of 305 km/h.
Beyond its straight-line performance, the Urus promises to also be
exceptionally potent at a racetrack with the Italian marque targeting a new
Nurburgring lap record for an SUV.
