RE: Lamborghini Urus: Driven

[David87]

Technically impressive, but thoroughly abhorrent at the same time. 3/10, would not buy etc.

And no, I couldn’t afford one anyway. Well, not without a decent PCP deal (it is VAG after all!).

[kainedog]

Better looking than a early cayenne, that's setting the bar high

[hungry_hog]

Looks like an Aventador on stilts, and the huge front grill looks like the back of a fridge

I can imagine gold wrapped versions of these parked outside Harrods, driver with one hand on each mobile taking a double selfie

[nosuchuser]

Pontiac called. They want their Aztek back

The sheer negativity on here means it will be a sales success as about 0.5% of posters could afford one.

Cars like this piss of environmentalists which I like.

What have environmentalists got to do with this?

The 90’s just called, Clarkson wants his joke back. Have we also had the ‘soon to be seen on a kerb outside a school’, ‘Cheshire’, ‘Yummy Mummy’ bks yet? FFS get a grip, it’s a new car, by all accounts a bit of a laugh, unusual and unhinged so should be celebrated, and if you are nowhere near being a customer wind your neck in. Electric cars and downsizing get grief on here, put a powerful engine in a car segment that the world wants (the car sales world clearly being in no way represented on PH) and the grief continues. Sometimes this place is beyond belief.

The concept was indeed much better looking.

The concept is barely different.

Production cars have to have annoying things like door handles and headroom for rear passengers. It was never going to look as good as the concept.

To me this seems to be less about Lamborghini but more about this:



Those are the one they ll sell "by the bucket load" on low lease rates.

Woah! Chill your beans!
Sense of humour bypass or what?
Strangely I’ve never seen the episode you allude to and you tell ME to wind my neck in?
Get a grip on yourself.
Lamborghini are the Brutalism of car design, they are hardly the Arts & Crafts movement, and my personal view is its fugly.
I take it you are burning £50 notes to light your Montecristo cigars whilst typing and will therefore be plonking a wedge down as a deposit for one?
I apologise if my attempt at humour assaulted your sensibilities, and admit I won’t ever be able to afford one, but my life will not feel empty or unfulfilled for it.

^^ I always thought old Landrover (Defenders, Disco 3 &4) were Brutalist design. Lambo design is not Brutalist, never has been.

More Versace and budgie smugglers than brutalist.

I think it’s a good looking car and the performance will make it an amazing means to cross country with the family.

[Smokey32]

Soon to be seen on the streets of London with totally wrecked alloys.

The fact there is a market for this makes me die a little inside.

I am not surprised as they're brilliant family transport, we have the Skoda badged version.

As for leasing them, for as long as the lease beats depreciation, then why not ?

Driven by customers, not marketing

Looks like it could have been designed by the customers too.

I saw earlier photos of this, in yellow I think, and it seemed to look a lot better. Can't help thinking that this colour and odd angles of these shots
have done it no favours.

Driven by China and 110 million from Italian government.

''“The appetite for ultra luxury SUVs, especially in China, means that if you're not in the segment very soon, you may likely be left behind,” says Dave Sullivan, manager of product analysis with automotive industry research firm AutoPacific. “When the next downturn hits, or if something sends a hiccup through the Chinese economy, the brands without an SUV could see trouble on the horizon.”''

I really like it!
I have no doubt it will be a fantastic drive and a nice alternative to the usual SVR.
