RE: Lamborghini Urus confirmed

[IforB]

I wonder if Lamborghini's tractor heritage will help this thing off road...

Makes absolutely no sense anywhere else.

West Coast of the US will lap this up if my neighborhood is anything to go by.

I'm sure I read in EVO that they're doing a front engined GT as well ?

I thought so too, a sort of replacement for the Espada (which went out of production 37 years ago!)

As a small unit of PAG I guess it was one or the other an everyone knows that the SUV will sell more. A super saloon is a very Western thing.

lambo will sell every one they can make people need these for the school runs.

Only if they fit a crappy diesel into it and sling it out on a cheap finance deal.

the majority of 4x4s in the UK make no sense for which they are used

Nor do most cars with more than one seat.

huh? i expect passengers to supply their own

[stuckmojo]

Vulgar, but I like it.

something like this belongs near a desert where you never, ever wash it.

The forerunner to the LM002, I'm not sure there is a more macho vehicle in existence!



The first off-road car that was related to Lamborghini without being a tractor, was the 1977 Cheetah, starting out as rolling prototype of an all-terrain vehicle that would end up with a Raging Bull logo up front.

You thought Lotus making a 4x4 was odd...

Yes, it's much odder than Lamborghini doing it.

The Lambo will be grotesque and the people who buy it knobs, but I secretly think the concept looks rather good.

I'm not sure that Anus is a good name for a car.

better than Bentayga - sounds like a cross between a car and an oven.

At least Lambo have form in making SUV's before...even if they were stupidly wonderfully bonkers

I'm sure of they did an estate people like yourself would be drooling all over it.

Soon to be seen being driven by Arabian gentlemen, terrorising the mean streets of Belgravia, banging off the rev limiter in first gear... oh God.

Why didn't they just make the Estoque?!

[swisstoni]

They won't be able to keep up with demand. May not please the purists (whoever they are) but it's an open goal for prestige makers who haven't got on the bandwagon yet.

[daytona365]

Wanted to hate it, but actually I think it looks pretty good for a very stylish brick..........But it will cost a small fortune, or even a very big one !

[Avdb]

I like this Lambo...

[zerovira]

you have to give them that at least is a lot nicer than the "bentayga" or whatever it is called.

I somehow see this inside the Lambo philosophy: Very big, impractical, noisy and flashy. Isn't that what all this Lambo thing is about?

Just like a Hummer H1 (running gear is mounted high on the chassis).
