The Lamborghini Urus is a high performance luxury SUV manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was introduced in December 2017 as a 2018 model year production vehicle. The Urus is the first Lamborghini SUV and five-door vehicle in the modern era (under the ownership of Volkswagen Group), and the second SUV in the brand's history after the LM002, which was produced between 1986 and 1993.
Built on the Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform, the Urus shares many components with other Volkswagen Group luxury SUVs, such as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg. With a top speed of 312 km/h (194 mph), the Urus SE is the fastest production SUV in the world.
The name comes from the urus, the ancestor of modern domestic cattle, also known as the aurochs.

[QUOTE="Centurion, post: 865]Comparing the V8 and V12 DB11, the smaller engine has an upper hand in many areas.
A high reving V12 would have been exotic but expensive. Maybe a modified version of V10 of the Hurracan will be an option for the SV version?[/QUOTE]
A NA V12 doesn't suit an SUV at all but i want a monstrous TT V12 with over 700hp for Lambo's fist SUV.

The V8 they’re using is actually a derivative of the Porsche 4L V8 TT from Panamera and Cayenne and not what I thought: the 4L V8 from Audi (S8, RS6, S6, etc.).

It's the new Lamborghini SUV! Meet the Urus
The Urus is Lamborghini’s long-awaited re-entrance into the SUV market. It’s also the perfect representation of its 55-year journey from seller of mad things with an allergy to ergonomics, to an ultra-modern supercar manufacturer with the quality, reliability and business sense of Audi.
Few would argue the latter is a bad thing when it spawns a family of supercars that you can actually see out of and start on the button every time… but the big fat question here is, is a spacious, high-riding, five-seater family SUV pushing the Germanic sensibleness too far?
Let’s start with the way it looks. No doubt you made your mind up within seconds of seeing it, but hopefully we can agree on one thing: of the Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga and Audi Q7 bunch with which it shares its steel and aluminium MLB platform, it’s not pug-ugly like the Bentley, and has more presence than the other two put together.
In the interim five-and-a-half years since we saw the Urus concept, it’s become a little larger, rounder and wider of arse, but the overall shape is surprisingly faithful. There’s the same arrowhead bonnet shut line, but beneath that there’s a lot more going on.
