Lamborghini Urus BY JUSTIN HILLIARD Lamborghini has defied brand expectations by revealing its first SUV model since the LM002 in 1986, with the Urus rolled out at an overnight event ahead of an Australian launch in <strong>2018</strong>.
Claimed to be the fastest SUV yet, the 2197kg Urus has a top speed of 305km/h and can sprint from zero to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds while on the way to 200km/h in 12.8s. Significantly, this marks the first time a Lamborghini model has used turbocharging over natural aspiration. On-demand cylinder deactivation and an eightspeed torque-convertor automatic transmission – another first – play their part in maximising efficiency, with the Urus consuming a claimed 12.7 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle test. Carbon dioxide emissions have been rated at 290 grams per kilometre. This immense performance is thanks to a front-mounted 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine that pumps out 478kW of power at 6000rpm and 850Nm of torque from 2250rpm to 4500rpm with a rev limit of 6800rpm. Up to seven ’Tamburo’ driving modes are offered, including ’Strada’, ’Sport’, ’Corsa’, ’Neve’ (snow), ’Terra’ (off-road), ’Sabbia’ (sand) and ’Ego’ (individual), with each allowing the driver to adjust engine, transmission, exhaust, suspension and steering settings. Safety and driver assist technologies will extend to high beam assist, front and rear parking sensors, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, cruise control, and up to eight airbags. Built on Volkswagen Group’s ’MLB Evo’ platform, the Urus is mechanically related to the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga and Porsche Cayenne among others, but will be manufactured at Lamborghini’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. The Urus has a suggested retail price of $390,000, including Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Luxury Car Tax (LCT).
