Slideshow: 5 Cool Things about the Lamborghini Urus
When it comes to sport utility vehicles the Italian giant isn’t new to the party. Way back in 1981 they debuted the LM001 prototype and the Urus is the companies newest super SUV!
Massive Performance
641 face stomping horsepower allows the Urus to accelerate from a standstill to 100 miles per hour in 8.6 seconds. If you’re wondering how fast that is, it will outrun a 2001 Murcielago by a couple tenths. At the heart of the bull lies a twin turbo V8 that belts out 627 lb-ft of torque at an incredibly low 2,250rpm. It’s an absolute animal and has big performance in a straight line.
Italian Guts
With a long history of seats and switches that look at home in a fighter jet, the long-standing tradition of bold styling continues into this new segment. What can you say? The Italians always know what they’re doing when it comes to an interior. Italian leather drips from the roof to the floor, enveloping occupants in luxury that few brands can offer.

Game Changing
Is it good or bad for the brand? This is definitely a game changer that will allow them to compete with the world's top luxury auto manufacturers. By generating more revenue I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a car akin to the P1 and 918 with regards to production numbers. Anything that gets us cooler looking and faster Lamborghinis is a plus and, sport utility vehicles definitely help generate the revenue required for such endeavors.

Beautiful exterior
Strong geometric forms in the front and rear of the car are aesthetically pleasing in a futuristic way. Naturally, there isn't a whole lot to work with as far as styling is concerned when it comes to the SUV package. So you get stuck with a very cookie cutter silhouette. Of course, it could be a little bit more Lamborghini, but given the constraints of fitting more than two occupants, they did a great job in making something that is eye-catching. As far as SUVs go it's the loudest on the market.
