    Lamborghini Urus SUV To Pack 650 Horsepower

      We get some details on Lamborghini's upcoming SUV

    Lamborghini has been somewhat quiet on their upcoming SUV, the Urus. But a recent report from Automotive News begins to reveal some interesting details.

    Speaking with Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali, the Urus will pack a twin-turbo V8 engine producing 650 horsepower. There will also be plug-in hybrid version that will use the twin-turbo V8. The model is expected to be shown towards the end of this year at Lamborghini's factory in Sant'agata Bolognese, Italy.

    Sales will begin in the second quarter next year for Europe, with the U.S. following in the third quarter.

    So Uranus is finally getting built. Just a car on steroids to be a CUV. I wonder how it will really stand up to the world wide competition especially when they have been building them for so much longer.

    Is this going to be a Cheyanne/Q7/Bentayga body SUV?  I am sure it will be crazy fast with 650 hp and likely the quick shifting ZF 8-speed and all wheel drive.   I think Mercedes can top this if they are so inclined to put a V12 in one of their SUVs.  I am surprised that the Urus doesn't have a V12.

    My reaction upon hearing the news about yet another SUV offering...

    My reaction when somebody might try to explain to me that SUVs are the future and Im just a dinosaur in denial clinging on to sedans or coupes and there is 650 horses offered by Lamborghini in the Urus...

    My reaction when I FINALLY come to the realization that there is literally nothing I could do to stop this insanity with the SUV craze no matter how many cute GIFs I post on the internets!

    Wow. First Porsche, now Lamborghini.  One question: why are they destroying their unique selling point?

    I thought that VW/Audi would have the CUVs and Porsche/Lamborghini can stay with true (and truly expensive) sports cars (Boxster aside).

    I think allot of their previous customers are wanting SUV/CUVs now and if they want to hold onto them, they have to deliver what the customer wants.

    Cars are out of fashion as the hot trend is SUV/CUV crazyness. Not because they really need it.

    For sure, they have to sell SUVs.  Because anyone that owns a Bentley or Lamborghini owns another car or four.  If you offer that SUV they will buy it.   Porsche sells more SUVs than they do sports cars.   And you have a lot of people that want a Porsche or sports car, but really a Cayman is super impractical, so they can buy a Porsche SUV and feel like they got the best of both worlds.

    How's the frequency of MB s-class buyers also snapping up the g-wagon? I'll tell you : abysmal.

    What Lambo Aventador buyer wants a MUCH heavier, slower and less impactful Lambo SUV with 33% less pistons - just because "it's there"? I don't remotely see it... and I actually like Lamborghinis.

    These sports car brands are merely whoring out their image to build cash cows and demean their reputations for money. Which, to be truthful, is how successful business's are run.  But the market demand is manufacturered and the end product is trading on the consumer good will developed when the brand was far more pure. I still wince when I see a Cayenne, and I see a LOT of them around me.

    I think depending on where you live you have two types of users. The look at me soccer mom where the luxury suv never goes off road or rarely gets messed up and those that want the luxury but do use them in the mountains. I see plenty of the luxury suv at the ski resorts during winter but more so during summer off road on the logging roads out camping. Weird? Yes but true for washington state. So many tree huggers want their luxury and be out in the wilds.

    That was true in Colorado as well..    Here in AZ it's a mix...some people probably do take them in the mountains..but a lot more of them are probably 2wd though and are driven around town....I was at my neighborhood car wash Sunday, so many black luxury SUVs around here....BMWs, Mercs, JGCs, etc...

    I find nothing wrong with it.  I it brings them sales, great.  And hey, they started out as a tractor company and this isn't even their first SUV.

    A four seater Lambo would be nice since Ferrari have had four seaters for a while but this design I'm not quite sure. I remember the Estoque concept car from 2010 and I think that would have been great.

    So your saying take this concept and turn it into a CUV AWD auto?

    Not really. I know it's off topic from the Urus (still an odd name for me) but I think having the sedan back in 2010 would have been better than having the CUV in 2018.

    I agree with whoever said S-class Benz drivers wouldn't get a G wagon too. It's likely they'd go with a different brand. I love the way this Lambo concept truck looks, but just like how how Chevy messed up the Camaro by not doing the lowered roof like the concept car, there are pictures of the Urus at one of the famous racetracks now with a wrap on it and it's pretty plain they uglied the thing up. It has X-5 or Lexus SUV lines now and it's clearly even heavier. Now I'd take the Alfa over this no hesitation.

    Thank God Horacio Pagani still knows better than this.

    Can you imagine; you're LamboF'inghini and you STILL can't bring a concept to market as is? Look at the schlubmobile on the right- how is this amorphous, generic blob supposed to be the 'ultimate sports CUV'???

    It does look rather thick in the middle, and the wheel arches are definitely smaller. The upper character line on the prototype seems to be above the wheel arch up front, while on the concept its below the top of the arch. I'll reserve final judgement until the camouflage is off though.

    The concept is quite a looker.

    • Those that cannot accept a multi-cultural world and immigration deserve to lose everything. I will stay professional, but believe that our North American Economy is about to get far worse over the long term than it is now. It is amazing how people do not seem to realize that the first two years of a new president is dealing with the ramifications of the last president. The high inflation was due to the failed policies of those before. We now have low unemployment and a strong economy. Will be interesting to see how it ends.
    • I say, let it get worse.  The people have spoken and this is what the MAJORITY voted for.  He even got the popular vote.  Therefore the people of America have spoken.   This is what they want.  This is what they feel comfortable with.   But I dont want to hear ANY whining from ANYBODY about what possibly may happen with him Him in power.  Fool me once,  shame on you!  Fool me twice, shame on me?   Technically this is how that saying goes.  But you never know. Maybe it really IS the lefty libtards that are the problem.   Hopefully it IS the lefty libtards that are the problem and the Messiah Trump will BE the solution to ALL of our problems.   I will be the first one to apologize if He actually does fix America's and Canada's problems.  And unite ALL of the world and the world gets to sing Kumbaya ALL in unison. Hopefully He is the next coming of Christ.   Keeping my fingers crossed but I aint holding my breath if you know what I mean.   
    • @oldshurst442 This pretty much sums up just how bad it is going to get. Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say | AP News
    • Not just iPhones... He tariffed Canadian wood the first time around as Pres and the prices of wood skyrocketed so American home builders bought American wood which was and is more expensive than Canadian wood.  I guess that is good for American wood producers. But for the fact that house prices also skyrocketed.  And considering that Canada and US have a more or less good trading thing going on...so not that good.  Not for the US and not good for Canada.  But Donald thinks otherwise. And all the folk that voted for him this time around think that the economy will get better?  I hope so for their sake. But Elon and Jeff B's billions rose quite a bit upon the announcement of his re-election.  I wonder if those  people that voted for him, I wonder if their wealth also rose instantly?    You poor bastards... You have no idea what is coming to you... (those that voted for him.  With the excemption of the rich of course)     Donnie Rides Again
