The Lamborghini Urus is undoubtedly the hottest model of its kind, the supercar of SUVs. However, it doesn't have any kind of monopoly on speed, and other manufacturers actually have more experience with track-oriented heavy-hitters.
Ferrari says it's finding the development of its high-rider to be difficult. However, Aston Martin is almost ready to show the DBX. The models we're most concerned about are from the segment below, things like the sexy Audi RS Q8, or the BMW X5 M, which has epic heritage.
Of course, if you can afford a Lamborghini, you buy a Lamborghini and not a BMW. But the Italian company has capped supply, so the only way to make more money is to boost profitability. By now, you probably know all about the super-expensive variants they make, such as the SVJ or Performante. If they can make that kind of money with the Urus, the bosses can probably afford better champagne and vacations.
This test Urus is looking very sexy with its green (Verde Mantis) paint. But it doesn't reveal much. However, they must be working on something new, since there's a full roll cage and the driver is wearing a helmet.
Perhaps the suspension is a little lower, which ties in with the rumors about a possible Urus Performante model with a lower center of gravity and extra cornering stiffness. Perhaps they're going after a Nurburgring lap record again, since this was lost to the refreshed GLC 63 S about a year ago.
More power isn't out of the question either. Currently, the 4-liter bi-turbo makes 650 horsepower, which is 50 more than the similarly equipped Audi RS6. Then again, we're talking about Lamborghini, the masters of performance technology.
There was also the ST-X concept earlier this year, which was said to inspire a model you could actually buy. And the Urus' transition to a plug-in hybrid V8 with over 700 horsepower seems inevitable as well.
