The stunning Lamborghini Urus SUV, which arguably stole the 2012 Beijing show in concept form, is slated to arrive in production form by late 2016, according to a report published by Autocar UK.
Audi boss Rupert Stadler has told the British publication that the Lamborghini Urus should be given the production go-ahead sometime this year, and that it would sit on a new generation of the MLB platform that employs a mix of aluminium and steel bonded and riveted together (carbon-fibre may also be used). This new platform will also underpin the next Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7.
At the point of unveiling last year, Lambo said it aimed to make the Urus the most powerful production SUV in the world – 600 hp being the target figure. But that’s not all – it needed to emit the least CO2 among its competitors, without using a diesel engine.
That relatively short bonnet means Lambo’s V10 or V12 units are unlikely too, but reports have speculated more recently that a hybrid drivetrain with as much as 670 hp could power the SUV. Some suggest that the Bentley Continental GT‘s 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 is also possible.
With Aventador-derived sharp angles, 24-inch matte-finished aluminium wheels encased in 305/35 Pirelli Scorpion Zero rubber, quad hexagonal tailpipes and those mad, mad intakes, the concept certainly is one imposing beast, to say the least. We do hope the production car doesn’t lose too many of these.

Reminds me to go for an urut urut gembira ending later
Lambo’s USUS Suv.
All BN politicians are excited. Even work as kerani also, but if you are BN politician, this will be one of your cars in your stable of 10 cars.
So not Lamborghini.. Looks like an Aventador head stuck to a Cayenne.
I hopes that only the engine and platform are shared with its cousin, others, original Lamborghini bits..
Everyone is trying to follow porsche…
I don’t think so.They actually following VW..all live under same VW roof..hence same platform for all
stupid VW only trying to make money, purity of lamborghini soon to be lost. just like what happened to porsche
“What happened to Porsche?” U mean just being one of the most successful sale in SUV market?
very nice its like x6 + porsche cayenne
hopefully in 2020 the car would be more affordable for 4 years old recond unit lower than 1mil ,then i finally a lamborghini for everyone.. at least i wont be that old 35 years driving lambo not too bad
Yeah sure, all cars will be cheap for all people. It’s good for this site to put emphasize and put updates on porsche, ferrari, lambo, mclaren because we all are going to drive it soon
Good luck living ur dream in boleh land…
cars below 1mil are quite affordable to the masses
i have a c class,e class and a 4wd. all these cars combined amounted to 1m already, lamborghini urus is like combination of all of my 3 cars (4wd,sporty,comfortable,practical(4 doors)
so getting 1 lambo urus instead would be more practical than owning 3 cars with different purposes
economist forecast economic growth of over 6% for Malaysia. retail sectors will see more than 10% growth some even expecting 20% growth in retail sector. if this continues on for the next 7 years i dont see why i cant afford a 4 years old recond lamborghini urus.
I really think this is a huge step for Lamborghini, Hope its cheaper for those as me who will love to have a dilemma between wich one to buy. Porsche Cayenne or Lamborghini Urus
Lets not forget that Lamborghini is the grand daddy of SUV. It was them that launched the LM002 which the mid east market liked. 4X4 off of roader with a Countach V12. They did it in the 80s before the term SUV was even invented.
