Lamborghini Urus, The Fastest Sports SUV In History

Unquestionably, the new Lamborghini Urus has become on its own merits one of the most special and anticipated cars of this year. Its status as an SUV and the high performance it offers make the Urus a caring machine, which we will see whether or not it meets the expectations that the brand has placed on it.

In fact, we may be looking at the best Lamborghini of all time. It may hurt the most purists, but it is the truth. From the SUV format that is currently so fashionable, a supercar has been created with all the laws that also offers the necessary space for the whole family. The definitive car.

Exterior design of the Lamborghini Urus

We can only dismiss the work done by Lamborghini designers with the Urus as excellent. Similar to the prototype shown in 2012, the first SUV from Sant’Agata Bolognese looks just as expected from one more sports car from the Italian firm.

In addition, it has taken up the trend of coupe-like SUVs, differentiating itself from others with a pronounced drop in the roof and a truncated and heavily lined rear, with a single headlight and a prominent diffuser with four tailpipes.

All the lines of its worked body denote strength and security, while the whole is based on the shapes of a hexagon. The size of its tires stands out, being able to vary between 21 and 23 inches in diameter.

Interior design of the Lamborghini Urus

Once we enter its cabin it is clear that the sporty approach of the Lamborghini Urus has no complex to combine with luxury and the latest technology. On its dashboard we receive three TFT screens (instrument panel, multimedia system and comfort functions) and the ANIMA controls .

It is up to the buyer to decorate the interior to achieve a more sporty environment with carbon fiber and alcantara or a rather luxurious air, with leather, aluminum and all kinds of woods. In addition, you can choose between the configuration of four individual seats or a classic five seats.

It’s still a Lamborghini

Belonging to the powerful Volkswagen Group, the Lamborghini Urus draws on the technical solutions and platform of other high-end models, such as the Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga. In addition to technology, it also uses a well-known propellant, that if, prepared for the occasion.

Under the hood it maintains that aura of exclusivity with respect to its range brothers. No V10 and V12, the Urus equips Lamborghini’s first V8 engine. It is a 4.0 turbocharged block that offers 650 hp and 850 Nm of torque.

To distribute the power, like the rest of Lamborghini, it uses an all-wheel drive system with a Torsen-type limited-slip differential. All in all, it is capable of reaching 305 km / h, the highest top speed for a vehicle of this type.

That power and speed is up against the more than two tons that it marks on the scale, so to maintain a minimum level of safety, it is equipped as standard with carbon – ceramic brakes of 440 mm at the front and 370 mm at the rear.

Dynamics and safety

Like almost any new car worth its salt, the Urus has a driving mode selector that Lamborghini calls ANIMA . This system hides the secret for the Italian SUV to show such efficiency on all types of terrain, combining the performance of a supercar and almost the same capacity as a Land Rover.

The ANIMA is made up of three road-focused modes  – STRADA, SPORT and CORSA – and another three for off-piste ( NEVE, TERRA and SABBIA ). To all these is added the EGO mode, which will allow us to customize each parameter of the car and have a driving mode adapted to our tastes and needs.

Among the safety equipment, the 360º peripheral camera for parking stands out and the three equipment packages, which offer aids for a specific type of driving. The Urban Road offers the increasingly common everyday systems, the Full ADAS is for off-road driving and finally, the Highway includes aids for when we circulate at high speeds.

Prices

In our country the Lamborghini Urus has a starting price of 232,715 euros, which easily rises to 300,000 once we enter the optional equipment catalog. On the one hand, the Urus offers various equipment packages that define the style of the car, but these can be completed with more extras.
