2018 Lamborghini Urus – a Turbocharged Luxury SUV

Five years have passed since Urus debuted at 2012 Beijing Motor Show. The model which was presented back then was simply a concept introduced by Lamborghini to enter the SUV market successfully. Fast forward to today, and we have first spy photos of what’s to be a 2018 Lamborghini Urus. This vehicle has successfully crossed the path from being a concept to becoming a production model sticking to its name in the process.

Design wise 2018 Lamborghini Urus will mostly look like 2012 concept. We say mostly because five years ago the Urus was a state of the art vehicle, but now it shows signs of aging. So, while the main traits will remain the same, some of the small details will be changed. Being sharp and pointy on the outside doesn’t mean that it will come the same way on the inside. There’s no word on the interior yet but have no doubt it will be cozy, modern and technology packed.

Specs of 2018 Lamborghini Urus

When it comes to their sports models, Lamborghini sticks to already tried out recipe and empowers them with naturally aspirated V-10 and V-12 engines. This formula is a good one, and officials from the Sant’Agata-based company say that in the future it could change but for now it won’t. Despite this, they have taken a different approach with upcoming 2018 Lamborghini Urus.

The unit which will power first-ever SUV from Lamborghini will be a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. It’s rumored output is in the region of 500 or even 600 horsepower. Earlier claims have suggested that this vehicle will arrive in the form of hybrid. This won’t be the case at the beginning, but Lamborghini doesn’t exclude the possibility of a plug-in hybrid in the near future.
