With the launch of the Urus in 2018, Lamborghini joined BMW, Porsche, Maserati, and Bentley in offering an upmarket luxo-sport SUV. (2018 also saw the debut of the Cullinan from Rolls-Royce.)
The Urus shared the big SUV platform used by the other Volkswagen Group offerings like the aforementioned Porsche Cayenne as well as Audi's Q7 and Volkswagen's own Touareg. Under the hood was a twin-turbo 4.0L V-8 that produced 641 eye-popping horsepower. All that juice was delivered to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Lambo concocted the most enormous carbon-ceramic brakes yet... the front discs measured 17.3" and were squeezed by ten-piston calipers ...and they only had to put the whoah on 4,800ish pounds of giant SUV thanks to extensive use of composites.
Car and Driver measured the stopping distance of a 2019 Urus from 70 at only 149 feet, which must feel like you just drove into the gravel trap. Acceleration was similarly prodigious, leaping to sixty in 3.2 seconds and hurtling through the quarter in 11.4 seconds at 121mph.
The 2018 Urus in Blu Eleos was snapped in Manchester, New Hampshire in June of 2021 using a Canon EOS 7D and an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens.
