Lamborghini Urus to be launched on January 11, 2018

Recently, Lamborghini unveiled the Urus SUV – it’s first off-road SUV since the LM002. The Italian supercar maker has now announced that the Urus will be launched in India on January 11, 2018.

The Urus is based on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and the Bentley Bentayga. It uses carbon fibre reinforced polymer in its construction. Its styling is inspired by Lamborghinis from the past including the Countach and the LM002. The SUV gets a large inverted U shaped front grille with hexagonal black inserts and an air dam with 4 slats. The rear gets arrow-shaped LED tail lights wrapped around the tail gate. 

Inside, the Urus gets a three-spoke steering wheel and a digital cockpit. The centre console houses two touchscreen interfaces and a drive mode selector which is named as the Adaptive Network Intelligent Management (ANIMA). Unlike their other sports cars, the Urus has a proper rear seat and a large boot.

Under the bonnet, the Lamborghini Urus uses a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 instead of a V10 or a V12. The engine produces 641 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 850 Nm @ 2,250-4,500 rpm. The engine is mated to an all-wheel drive system and a limited-slip central differential. Lamborghini claims that the Urus can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 305 km/h.
