Abt unleashes 710hp Urus
You knew it was coming, and here it is - fabled Audi tuner gets to work on the Lambo SUV...
Nobody is ambivalent about the Lamborghini Urus, that's for certain. Whatever your perspective, it's unlikely that any car enthusiast is unsure of their opinion, nervously sitting on the fence and reluctant to confess.
