The New Lamborghini Urus

So it is turning out to be an interesting week for the SUV market following the Macan news the other day. For those of you following my Facebook and Twitter feeds, I posted yesterday that Lamborghini was naming its new SUV the Urus. Today we have some advanced pictures that have been leaked about the Urus which will be officially unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show. This car looks similar to many previous renderings but with a sleeker, low slung appearance. The car sort of has a raised Panamera shape to it from the front angle. From the side it almost looks like a fine tuned Range Rover Evoque. Whatever it resembles, I do feel this is a good looking vehicle especially in contrast to the soon to be released Bentley SUV currently named the EXP 9 F (the Bentley also competes in the fax machine market).

It is expected that the Urus will share its platform with the next Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, and the forthcoming Bentley SUV. However, the Urus is expected to weight in about 200 pounds lighter than any of those. Power expectations are said to be a 5.2L V10 power-plant producing a monstrous 584hp. No word on price just yet but lets just say it will not be competing with the new Rav-4 I posted last week...
