Automobili Lamborghini launches its third model - the Lamborghini Urus, the first super Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) - and creates a new niche in the luxury segment with benchmarking power, performance and driving dynamics, unparalleled design, luxury and daily usability. The Urus features a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 650bhp at between 6,000rpm and 6,800rpm, and 850Nm of maximum torque already 2,250rpm.
The Lamborghini Urus is as much a luxury SUV as the most powerful, with a super sports car dynamism to be enjoyed by both driver and passengers.
Its low-line coupe styling and commanding road position belie its comfortable ride, higher ground clearance, and luxurious space within, together with the latest technologies.
The Urus provides easy driving in the city, maximum comfort during long journeys, thrilling super sports car dynamics on the road and track, and versatile off-road abilities in a range of environments. The Lamborghini Urus has a dual personality and is multi-dimensional. It can be specified to be as sporty or as elegant as the owner wishes, and can equally be used as a daily luxury drive or provide an exhilarating super sports experience.
The Lamborghini Urus adopts the rear-wheel steering introduced in the Aventador S over the whole speed range. The rear steering angle varies according to vehicle speed and driving mode selected. At low speeds, the rear-axle steering angle is opposite to that of the front wheels (counter-phase steering), effectively shortening the wheelbase by up to 600mm for increased agility and a reduced turning circle for increased manoeuvrability.
At high speeds, the rear axle steering angle points in the same direction as the front wheels (in-phase steering), elongating the wheelbase by up to 600mm for increased stability and ride comfort, as well as optimum driving dynamics. The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Urus in spring 2018.
