Lamborghini Urus: the most extreme SUV in the world - sports cars
The Lamborghini Urus is showing dizzying numbers, but will it be enough to make it a real Lambo?
Extreme. A word that was convenient to come up with in a factory Lamborghini. Lambos are notoriously uncomfortable, noisy, half-meter-long alien-shaped cars. Extreme looks, extreme performance, extreme proportions.
That's why before that Lamborghini controls Dark blue, I can't help but wonder what this mountain of muscle has to do with the cars leaving the gates of Sant'Agata Bolognese. But it was only a matter of time: the era of hyper-SUVs had arrived. Luxurious, powerful, arrogant and very, very expensive. Cars for wealthy customers who find the Porsche Cayenne commonplace. By price 210.000 euroIn fact, the Lamborghini Urus is the most expensive SUV on the market, including the Cayenne Turbo. And with 650 CV and 850 monstrous Nm of torque, it is also the most powerful.
But that's enough to make him real Lamborghini?
HIGH SPEED PENTHOUSE
His numbers border on alarming: 0-100 km / h in 3,6 seconds e 305 km / h maximum speed... But the data doesn't distract me from the fact that the Urus has little to do with other Lambos. To avoid the overpricing that the new project would entail, the Urus actually uses the group's common SUV gender, namely the Audi SQ7, VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.
There is no glorious naturally aspirated engine under the hood, but 8-liter turbo V4.0 taken from the Audi RS6 (albeit modified) mated to the same 8-speed automatic transmission with torque converter. That said, it might look like an Audi dressed by an Italian tailor.
However, this heavy German imprint had a positive impact on the interior. Last Lamborghini I've tried the Aventador S: a crazy car, but the nasty plastic cab and electronic gadgets are easy to argue with. There UrusBut excellent quality. The Piedmont is wrapped in leather, the build is perfect and every lever has a solid and reliable air. In addition, it not only costs as much as a penthouse in Milan, but it is also as spacious as a penthouse in Milan. Rear passengers have two TV screens, heated seats, tons of outlets. The trunk could accommodate a city car. It really is a complete car, but "complete" is not the right adjective for a Lambo, right?
LAMBO FOR EVERY DAY
I believe receptionist they shouldn't be disclosed so corny, but maybe I'm just chasing a streak of madness. I really like the driver's position: you sit high, but at the same time, your back and legs take a typical supercar angle, and the steering wheel is at eye level. Audi owners will find it steering very familiar both in the thickness of the crown and in consistency; but the efforts of Sant'Agata's technicians are believed to have made it more lively and accurate. The gear selector seems to have been designed by a madman and allows you to choose between different driving modes, including curious ones. "Sand, earth" and "snow"; but now I'm interested "Road", "Sport" and "Race", which, if desired, also "mix" with each other.
At a leisurely pace, Urus does not even look like Lamborghini, he is so obedient and quiet. The engine growls just enough to remind you you're not in a regular diesel SUV, and the suspension covers bumps incredibly well. It's convenient, I mean in absolute terms, not to be a Lambo. Never before has a car from Casa del Toro been so polite and helpful. I am sure that I consumption these are supercars (driving slowly, 9 km / l on the highway, 5 in the city), but if you have 210.000 euros to spend on an SUV, who cares?
WILD BULL
The time has come for the truth: I have a free morning, there is a free mountain road ahead and all controls are disabled. The combination of rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension gives the feeling of total control, so pushing this large two-ton beast is incredibly easy and natural.
Il engine this is real rage: the turbines need a moment to fill with air, but after I 3.000 rpm V8 explodes in all its glory. This penthouse is awfully fast and is not afraid of twists and turns. It dives towards the rope with unexpected maneuverability and neutral balance, but with a little effort you can move the rear a little and close the trajectory. My point is that you can drive it like a sports compact car. Change is quick and obedient, even when it comes to "death", but it is far from violence Huracanlet alone brainwashFan.
Traction, despite the winter tires, is colossal. But I'm not surprised, because I've never seen such large wheels on a car. Our specimen even has rims made of 23”Suitable tires 285/30 he is at the front 325/35 at the back.
Coming out of the tightest turns, Urus crouches slightly and shoots into the next corner, barking and barking. You can feel the differential that transfers power to the rear and makes it easier for the front wheels to work, but 99% of the time the Urus comes out tight and straight, as if it were on the tracks.
Real gods oversteer They're hard to get: with a little grease on your elbows, you can get small intersections, but when you break it and put it on the gas ahead of time, the car will riot and start jumping like a kangaroo. Maybe it would have been different with summer tires ...
The fact remains: Lamborghini controls it instills confidence and you feel it completely in your hands. It's incredible how technicians (from each manufacturer under the VW-Audi hat) have managed to differentiate and customize this platform: the Lambo is much sharper and more accurate than the Audi SQ7, but also less vicious and “connected” than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
Yes, less bad and even less witty, to be honest. It has a powerful engine, an excellent braking system that resists abuse well, and the agility of a car that weighs half a ton less; but she's not angry.
It's strange to say this about a Lamborghini, but the Urus is incredibly balanced, easy to drive and complete.
I believe that we can draw our conclusions.
CONCLUSIONS
La Lamborghini controls This is not the extreme SUV I was expecting: it can be used every day, it is very comfortable, it scares quickly and, if you ask, even skiing. If there was an Audi RSQ7, it would be just like that. It is a car capable of delivering incredible performance even in corners, but it is not as sharp, extreme and thrilling as the Lamborghinis we know.
In China, Russia and the Middle East, they sell them in whole carts, so they probably saw it right in Sant'Agat. And if the proceeds go to continue producing wide and low supercars, so be it. Which, after all, is exactly what Porsche did with the Cayenne, and what everyone else will soon do. There is no getting away from this.
I have been asked several times if this steroid SUV makes sense. Well, of course there is, if you have, you don't care about discretion and you have money to spend. To be honest, this is a much smarter machine than 'Aventador SVJ, one of the most grumpy, awkward and lousy cars of all time. But Lamborghini is not chosen wisely, is it?
