Lamborghini Urus SUV spied testing in pre-production guise

Lamborghini has finally started testing the Urus SUV, which has recently been photographed in Denmark. While the heavily camouflaged test mule successfully disguised the SUV's key design elements, the overall silhouette and design language of the spotted model appears to be similar to that of the Urus concept unveiled in April, 2012.

The spy shots point towards a coupe-style SUV, which is characterized by a sloping roof line and a short rear overhang. The tail light clusters appear to be makeshift units, though the indent made for the final cluster is similar to the one found on the concept. However, the test mule comes with just two exhaust tips placed on the left side, instead of the concept's quad exhausts.

Lamborghini had earlier confirmed that the SUV will be retaining the Urus name plate and will enter pre-series production in April. It will share its underpinnings with the Audi Q7. Powering the Urus will be a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 petrol engine, while a diesel mill has been ruled out by the automaker. Instead the company is reportedly working on pure-electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains for the SUV.
