Lamborghini Urus: photos and details leaked

Lamborghini's new SUV will be based on the Porsche Cayenne, and will have a 600 horsepower V8 from Bentley

Much speculation has surrounded Lamborghini’s new SUV, which is set to debut in a few days at the Beijing Motor Show. The company known for making sexy supercars is serious about making this vehicle, but the usual pre-auto show secrecy means Lamborghini has been mum on details. Luckily, CarsUK was able to get ahold of photos and information on this raging bull before its official debut.
EVO magazine will be running a story on the Lambo SUV this weekend, but one copy was intercepted on its way to the newsstand. The story confirms a few of the rumors. The car’s official name is Urus, and it will be built on the same platform as the Posrche Cayenne, Audi Q7, and Volkswagen Touareg.
Lamborghini is part of Volkswagen’s automotive empire, so it always seemed logical that the Italian company would borrow hardware from its German cousins. The Urus will be about half a foot longer, and several inches wider, than the Cayenne, which is the sportiest of the VW-family SUVs. The Lamborghini will also sit lower to the ground than the Cayenne.
It will be a challenge to get Lamborghini-esque performance out of an SUV, because of how much these vehicles typically weigh. To combat the problem, Lamborghini will deploy some of the weight-saving techniques used on its sports cars. Some components will be made of forged composite resin, combined with strands of carbon fiber. This material should be easier to work with than traditional carbon fiber, while still adding lightness. This type of carbon fiber will also be used on the production version of Lamborghini’s Sesto Elemento concept car.
A powerful engine won’t hurt either. The Urus may get a V8 from Bentley, instead of the traditional Lamborghini V12. That engine will be tuned to around 600 horsepower, making it among the most powerful SUVs in the world. Using the V8 also makes sense, considering that Bentley is toying with the idea of an SUV that would be based on the same Cayenne/Q7/Touareg platform.
Why would Lamborghini go from building mid-engined supercars to building an SUV? It’s all about sales. Lamborghini claims that most of its customers already have an SUV in their garage, alongside their Gallardo or Aventador. Lamborghini hopes to sell 3,500 Uruses a year, which is twice as many sales per year as the other two cars.
The Urus makes fiscal sense, and it isn’t unprecedented. Lamborghini developed a prototype military vehicle for the U.S. government in the late 1970s. The off-roader had the V12 from a Countach, and when government contracts failed to materialize, it was sold to the public as the LM002.
However, the Urus will be a completely different animal. The LM002 was a Humvee with the heart of a supercar; the Urus will be more luxurious. If it’s anything like the Cayenne on which it is based, the Urus will expand Lamborghini’s customer base by putting Italian performance and style in a package more people can live with. The Cayenne has done a lot to enrich Porsche, and the Urus will likely do the same for Lamborghini. The only question is: will it dilute the brand? Will Lamborghini be the same when its products start trolling mall parking lots as well as race tracks?

Lamborghini Urus: unikly první fotky SUV Lamborghini

Teprve včera večer jsme vám nabídli oficiální potvrzení pondělní premiéry nového SUV Lamborghini a hned dnes vám ho můžeme i ukázat. Italská automobilka totiž neudržela pod pokličkou první fotky zřejmě nejočekávanější novinky pekingského autosalonu a ty se dostaly do éteru celé tři dny před oficiálním odhalením.

Oficiální informace zatím nejsou k dispozici, a tak vám k těmto snímkům můžeme sdělit zatím jen tolik, že vůz vypadá právě tak, jak naznačovaly dřívější informace od těch, kteří jej údajně spatřili. Příď je tedy hodně podobná Aventadoru, profil pak připomene rozličná SUV-kupé definovaná BMW X6 a snad jen zadní partie dávají znát, že tento vůz je něčím úplně jiným, než co jsme měli možnost na autech s rozzuřeným býkem ve znaku (a nejen s ním) v posledních letech vídat.

K dispozici jsou i první pohledy do interiéru, které opět potvrzují dříve naznačované - palubní deska částečně z Aventadoru, sedadla jak z konceptu Sesto Elemento a k tomu trochu stylových záležitostí, které dávají jasně najevo, že i Urus je stále jen konceptem.

Když už konečně padlo také jméno vozu, je třeba říci, že právě to je poněkud překvapivé. Včera o něm jako o hotové věci hovořila čínská média, moc velkou pravděpodobnost jsme ale skutečnému použití tohoto jména nepřikládali - už dříve se totiž mělo objevit na sedanech i kupé značky. Nakonec ale, jak vidíte sami, po něm Lamborghini skutečně sáhlo.

Otázky nyní obestírají hlavně techniku vozu, i když i o té se mocně spekuluje. Pod kapotou by se prý měl objevit desetiválec z Gallarda naladěný na výkon okolo 600 koní. Pohon všech kol je samozřejmostí a převodovku vidíte (nebo spíše nevidíte...) sami, ta je pochopitelně automatická.

Lamborghini Urus SUV concept: Unconventional offroader

Following the example of Porsche, which used its Cayenne SUV to create more stable revenue, Lamborghini wants to add an SUV as a third model in its lineup. At the Beijing International auto show, Lamborghini finally revealed what its SUV will look like.
Using the sharp edges of its current design language, the Urus concept presents a very unique look for a vehicle designed to drive offroad. Although about 16 feet in length, similar to the Cayenne, the Urus concept is only about 5.5 feet high, making it more like a raised sedan.


The concept does not appear to be based on any existing Lamborghini, looking like it would use a front engine design. Lamborghini targets 600 horsepower for the output, but does not specify the engine configuration. That high output suggests an engine possibly sourced from Bentley, a sister company under Volkswagen ownership. Bentley came out with its own attempt at an SUV, the EXP 9 F concept, at the Geneva auto show this year, but it was a critical flop.
Lamborghini also specifies a dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel-drive for the Urus, both technologies already existing in the company's model line-up. The ride height is also adjustable, but the concept appears to get most of its ground clearance from the 24-inch wheels.
Despite the high power output, Lamborghini says the Urus would get the lowest carbon dioxide emissions in its class due to lightweight construction. A new material called Forged Composite helps keep the weight down.
The name, Urus, comes from a prehistoric ancestor to our modern cattle, and maintains Lamborghini's naming convention related to bulls.
Although there is a lot unrealized about the Urus concept, such as the engine, and many concept touches, such as cameras instead of side view mirrors, Lamborghini is very likely to bring some version of this vehicle to market. A two car model line-up consisting of exotic sport cars leads to very shaky revenue. An SUV, which Lamborghini says would be a car "for everyday use, for the family, for leisure pursuits with friends," gives customers of the brand, who probably already own an SUV from another brand, a new option.
Let us know what you think of how the Urus looks in the comments section below.

This moment the firm went and Urus which is a class of ox-like livestock that went extinct centuries ago.

The Lamborghini Urus would have a more ominous plan than the varied Lamborgini models we are prior to now "cast off to". It will potential be proposed altogether from carbon fibre, excluding there are legion anecdotes exaggeratedly telling that aluminum may possibly be a alternative for one or two from the aspect. The maximum element is pouring to be on the subject of 114 cm and additionally the overall blueprint will impress us by means of the familiar Lamborghini doors that will be engaged for this model. The Urus will have a carbon fiber chassis and would aspect a gathering of lively aerodynamics. The taillight will trait LEDs, the plan someone roused by the use of the modern-day taillight designs in particular manufactured for the Reventon.

The engine of the Lamborghini Urus is pouring to be positioned in front from the driver succeeding the front axle. It will potential be all set along furthermore a four wheel fight system.

All the rumor reports and the secrets about this Lamborghini will disappear in September 2011 if this automobile will be the big name from the 2011 Paris Auto become visible. I imagine that as soon as all over again we are impressed by way of the struggle from the Lamborghini lineup and after the initial surprise will pass in other places I'm sure the motorized vehicle is running to be in any case admitted and still the Lamborghini bureau congratulated for its originality and knack to product dreams come true at any rate of how uphill they seem at foremost.
