Lamborghini had unveiled the Urus in the last month of December 2017, and just over a month’s period of time, the company has launched the Super Sports Utility Vehicle, Urus in India at Rs. 3 crores (ex-showroom). With this model, the company aims at doubling its global sales and also at tripling its sales in India.
The Lamborghini Urus gets its design cues from the Lamborghini’s first SUV, the LM002 and also from super sports cars like Miura, Murciélago, and Countach and also gets the typical Lamborghini design elements like the Y-shaped headlights and taillights. It gets sharp lines and edges and looks mean and aggressive from all angles. Its design is aerodynamically rich and it looks much bigger in person than seen in the pictures.
The Urus is built on the MLB Evo platform that also underpins the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Audi Q7. The car also uses a lot of aluminum in its construction and weighs below 22oo kg, as claimed by the company.
The Urus is powered by a 4L, twin-turbo V8 engine which pumps out 650 BHP @ 6000 rpm and 850 Nm of torque @ 2250-4500 rpm. These power figures help the Urus to achieve the 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.6 seconds and the 0-200 km/h run in 12.8 seconds. Its top speed is 305 km/h which makes it the fastest SUV available as of now. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox which powers all the wheels of the Urus via. a permanent 4WD system.
It also gets 440mm carbon-ceramic disc brakes up front, which are the largest discs in the world, seen on any production car. And with that, the active torque vectoring system and a rear-wheel-steering system which is borrowed from the Aventador S, are also offered.
The interiors of this super SUV are luxurious and its interior characteristics resemble the Huracan and Aventador. It gets many hexagonal bits and also the jet fighter-like engine start button. It is also made available in a 4-seater option and also gets three TFT screens, of which one is used for the instrument console, one for the infotainment system and the third one for the climate control and other functions. The 12-way adjustable front seats and 23″ alloy wheels are offered as standard while the boot offers 616 liters of boot space, which is sizeable.
Adaptive air suspension and cylinder deactivation tech are also offered as standard. According to the driving surfaces, the driver can select through various driving modes via. Strada, Sport, Corsa, Neve (snow), Terra (off-road), Sabbia (sand), and Ego – which is a fully customisable mode.
All the Urus cars allotted for this year to the dealerships of Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru are already sold out and if you want to buy one, you will have to wait to drive it till you get its delivery in the next year, 2019.
