Lamborghini Urus
The Lamborghini Urus is a high performance luxury SUV manufactured by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was introduced in December 2017 as a 2018 model year production vehicle. The Urus is the first Lamborghini SUV and five-door vehicle under Volkswagen's ownership, and the second SUV in its history after the LM002, produced between 1986 and 1993.
Built on the Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform, the Urus shares many components with other Volkswagen luxury SUVs, such as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg. With a top speed of 312 km/h (194 mph), the Urus SE is the fastest production SUV in the world.
The model's nameplate derives from urus, the ancestor of modern domestic cattle, also known as the aurochs. The Latin word urus was used for 'wild ox' from the Gallic Wars onwards.
The Lamborghini Urus concept was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show on 23 April 2012. Later, the SUV was also shown at Pebble Beach in 2012. Powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine shared with the Gallardo, the engine generated a theoretical maximum power output of 600 PS (592 hp; 441 kW) and was accompanied with an all-wheel-drive system. The sharp-lined exterior design of the SUV takes heavy influence from the company's V12 flagship, the Aventador.
Previously, Lamborghini had trademarked the name "Urus" before the introduction of the Lamborghini Estoque at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and automotive news blogs Jalopnik and Autoblog believed that the name would be applied to what was eventually found to be the Estoque.
On 4 December 2017, the Urus was unveiled at Lamborghini's Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters, making it the brand's first SUV since the LM002. The production version of the SUV received major changes to the exterior and featured a different powertrain than that of the concept. Production of the new Urus started at Lamborghini's refreshed Sant'Agata facility, ahead of first deliveries in early 2018 with a targeted sales volume of around 3,500 a year. However, Lamborghini had to expand their factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese to meet the higher demand.
In July 2020, the company announced the 10,000th unit of the Urus. In 2022, Lamborghini hit a major milestone, having produced 20,000 of these SUVs, which made the Urus the company's best-selling model in the shortest time.
The Lamborghini Urus is significantly lighter than many of its competitors (i.e. the BMW X6 M, Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but not the Porsche Cayenne) at less than 2,200 kg (4,850 lb) as quoted by the manufacturer mainly because of the extensive usage of carbon fibre reinforced polymer, despite using the same platform as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.
