The Lamborghini Urus is an SUV manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was unveiled on 4 December 2017 and was put on the market for the 2018 model year.[3] The name comes from the Urus, the ancestor of modern domestic cattle, also known as the aurochs.[4]

The Lamborghini Urus concept was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show on 23 April 2012.[5] Later, the SUV was also shown at Pebble Beach in 2012. Powered by a 5.2 L V10 engine shared with the Gallardo, the engine generated a theoretical maximum power output of 600 PS (592 hp; 441 kW) and was accompanied with an all-wheel-drive system. The Urus was reported to have the lowest carbon emissions as compared to its stablemates (i.e. the Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga and the Audi Q7). [citation needed] The Urus was conceived as a perfect daily driver unlike the other offerings from the brand. The sharp-lined exterior design of the SUV takes heavy influence from the company's V12 flagship, the Aventador. The production version of the SUV was introduced in 2017 with major changes done to the exterior and featuring a different powertrain than that of the concept.[6]

Powertrain

The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine

The Lamborghini Urus does not use Lamborghini's hallmark of naturally aspirated V10 (as used in the concept) or V12 engines. Instead, the Urus is powered by a 650 PS (641 hp; 478 kW) 4.0 L twin-turbocharged V8, a modified version of Audi's 4.0 L V8.[7][8] This engine has application in other VW Group cars, including both the Porsche Cayenne and Panamera, as well as some of the Audi S and RS models,[citation needed] the A8, the Bentley Continental V8[citation needed] and the Flying Spur V8. The engine has been heavily reworked for the Urus, and is uprated by 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) and 80 N⋅m (59 lbf⋅ft) of torque more than the Cayenne Turbo, with changes such as new cylinder heads. The engine is assembled at a Volkswagen plant in Hungary and is shipped to Lamborghini's assembly plant.

Specifications and performance

Interior

The Lamborghini Urus is much lighter than most of its competitors (i.e. the BMW X6 M, Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but not the Porsche Cayenne) at less than 2,200 kg (4,850 lb) as quoted by the manufacturer[9] mainly because of the extensive usage of carbon fibre reinforced polymer, although it is based on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.[10]

The engine is rated at a maximum power output of 478 kW (641 hp; 650 PS) at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 850 N⋅m (627 lb⋅ft) at 2,250–4,500 rpm. The Urus has a front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout,[10][11] and a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph) making it one of the world's fastest production SUVs. The Urus can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 12.8 seconds.

Lamborghini has developed the world's largest set of carbon ceramic disc brakes[citation needed] for the Urus, with 440 mm (17.32 in) discs in the front and 370 mm (14.57 in) discs in the rear using ten-piston callipers at the front and single-piston callipers at the rear. The all-wheel drive system of the Urus under normal driving sends 40 per cent of the engine's torque to the front wheels and 60 per cent to the rear wheels. It also uses torque vectoring to send as much as 70 per cent to the front or 87 per cent to the rear when necessary. The SUV also features rear-wheel steering and an air suspension system that can provide a maximum of 250 mm (9.8 in) of ground clearance for off-road use. The SUV is available with an optional off-road package, which includes modified front and rear bumpers that are better suited to the task.

An unadorned Urus comes standard with a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 (641 hp, 627 lb-ft of torque), an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, 21-inch wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, a rear-axle torque-vectoring system, and four-wheel steering. On the inside, the Urus comes with a simulated suede headliner and leather seating surfaces. The front seats feature 12-way power adjustment, position memory and seat heating. And the driver gets to gaze upon a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. The rear seats can be configured as either a three-person bench or two-person sport seats, and four-zone automatic climate control is standard.[12]

The Urus, like all of Lamborghini's current offerings, features a selection of driving modes, which adapt the suspension to improve the car's performance in various driving conditions. The Lamborghini Urus features Strada (street), Sport, Corsa (track), Terra (dirt), Sabbia (sand), and Neve (snow) driving modes, with the latter three possibly only available on the off-road package offered. The Urus has a seating capacity of four to five people.[13]

The Urus has an EPA fuel economy rating of 14 mpg‑US (16.8 L/100 km; 16.8 mpg‑imp) combined (city and highway), 12 mpg‑US (19.6 L/100 km; 14.4 mpg‑imp) city, and 17 mpg‑US (13.8 L/100 km; 20.4 mpg‑imp) highway.[14]

Special variants

Urus Pearl Capsule

The Urus Pearl Capsule is a variant of the standard Urus. Customers who buy the Urus Pearl Capsule can customize it to the fullest, with options including being able to choose the colours for two-tone Alcantara seats, to the paint colours. Lamborghini states that there are three pearl paint options available —Verde Mantis, Arancio Borealis and Giallo Inti —providing a modern interpretation of the original solid colours united with Lamborghini tradition. The Black Gloss is painted lower bumpers, rocker covers and roof to create a dramatic two-tone effect, while the 23-inch Taigete alloy wheels in Shiny Black match the colour accents chosen. Technical specifications of the Urus Pearl Capsule such as power and torque remain the same as the standard Urus.[15]

Urus ST-X

The Urus ST-X is a racing, non-street-legal variant of the standard Urus, built by the Squadra Corse Division of Lamborghini. The concept was unveiled in 2018, at the Lamborghini World Finals. Designed to meet FIA regulations, the production ST-X features a full roll-cage, fire suppression system, and an FT3 fuel tank. The air intakes have been enlarged to better optimize the heat exchange of the 4-liter twin-turbo V8. Power and torque remain the same as the street-legal Urus, with the same 641 hp (650 PS) and 850 Nm (627 lb.ft) of torque . The car has hexagonal racing exhausts, and 21-inch alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli tires. These changes give a 25% weight reduction compared to the street-legal car. Customer deliveries are scheduled for 2020.[16]

Mansory Venatus

The Mansory Venatus is a one-off, based on the Lamborghini Urus. The Venatus now features an extensive wide-body kit with a new rear-wing to give more aggressive looks. It also has new exhaust pipes that are centrally placed instead of at the sides, now resembling those of the Apollo Intensa Emozione. The 4-liter twin-turbo V8 has now been reworked with a new catalytic converter, to give out 838 hp (850 PS) and 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque, which is 197 hp (200 PS) and 150 Nm (110 lb.ft) of torque than the standard Urus.[17][18]

Mansory Venatus EVO

The Mansory Venatus EVO is the updated version of the Venatus, also a one-off by Mansory. It was scheduled to be unveiled at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show but was unveiled online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes to the Venatus EVO include more aggressive looks, accentuated by a larger rear wing. The exhausts remain the same visually. Power and torque remain the same as the standard Venatus.[19]

Recall

In early December 2020, the NHTSA recalled 2019 and 2020 model year Uruses equipped with the 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine were recalled due to a fire risk, since high engine compartment temperatures cause the quick connectors to temperatures above the design operating specification limit. These elevated temperatures can cause the quick connect material to soften, which could result in a fuel leak. All affected models will be retired from showrooms starting on 18 December.[20]

Production

On 4 December 2017, the Urus was unveiled at Lamborghini's Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters, making it the brand's first SUV since the LM002.[21][22] Production began in February 2018 and Lamborghini plans to build 1,000 units in the first year of production, and 3,500 in 2019.[23] However, Lamborghini had to expand their factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese meet the higher demand. In July 2020, the company announced the 10,000th unit of the Urus.[24]

Earlier appearance of the name

Lamborghini had trademarked the name "Urus" before the introduction of the Lamborghini Estoque at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and automotive news blogs Jalopnik and Autoblog believed that the name would be applied to what was eventually found to be the Estoque.[25][26]
