World's first Super-SUV: URUS
Like a bull raging in a Spanish bullring the Urus is the Toro Bravo of all the SUV's out there. Although the Urus is built on the Volkswagen MLB 30 EVO platform(shared with the Q7, Bentayga and Toureg ), the Urus is much sportier and lively compared to its dull counterparts. Urus definitely opens a new chapter in the history of Lamborghini, although the LM002 was the first SUV produced by Lamborghini, you had to wear a Traje de Luces and turn yourself into a Matador to drive one; Well!! thanks to modern technology the Urus carries none of the those from the LM002 except for that muscular body.
Powered by a 4.0 litre bi-turbo V8, yes you read that right, the Urus is the first turbocharged Lamborghini with not one but two of them, along with some Lambo performance tweaks, the Urus pips the top speed of the Bentayga by a feather margin of 3 mph.

- Torque 627lbs @ 2250- 4500rpm
- Transmission 8 speed automatic, all wheel drive
- Top speed 189mph
- 0-62mph 3.6sec
- 0-124mph 12.8sec
The interior of the Urus also carries what you'd expect from a Lamborghini. Draped in flamboyant leather seats and a no nonsense dashboard, the Urus is appealing both inside and out.
Most of you might have a question lingering somewhere in your mind, will it go off-road?
Practically no customer will want to hurt those 23 inch alloys shod in bespoke Pirellis off the beaten path, but what if they do? Here is where you are in for a surprise. The Urus has an adjustable suspension that increases the height by 9cm, increasing the ride height to 248 mm, prepped enough for off-road. The Urus also comes with a driving dynamics selector named the Tamburo which tailors the air suspension and electromechanical anti-roll bars, first of its kind on a Lamborghini. The Tamburo comes with the following options,
- Corsa- Track
- Sport- Dynamic high speed
- Strada- Road
- Neve- Snow
- Sabbia-Sand
- Terra- Off- road
The Urus is a definitely a promising car and once into production at the new Sant'Agata factory Lambo is going to get those sheets all filled with Urus. I'm sure that this will encourage other super car manufacturers to join. With the Stelvio, Culinan and Jeep Trackhawk on the list, 2018 is going to be filled with surprises.
All that glitters comes at a price and the Urus is no exception, priced a whisker above the Huracan at 165K Euros.
Making it cheaper than the Bentayga and more appealing than any of its competitors.
