Lambo Urus...

[Yipper]

Who's getting one.

Some early reviews are worrying about the dull V8 turbo noise. Certainly the best-looking SUV around right now.

The Urus is the most desirable SUV on the planet right now. It is at the top of the tree.

The days of wacky V12 experiments that nearly bankrupt the company are long gone. People need to move on.

Yes, the Urus is a rebadged Cayenne. But think of it this way -- Usain Bolt and Fatman Scoop are 99.9% the same... but the 0.1% that makes all the difference sets them miles apart...

is it actually based on a Cayenne?

It's got the same engine, suspension, gearbox, rear-diff, anti-roll bars, and rear-steering system.

Apart from that, they're completely different.

Thought it was just the same chassis. Cayenne, q7 and this.

No, it is way more.

Detailed review of the Urus. Noise can be heard around ~12mins.

It's one of the best-sounding SUVs on the market right now. Very few SUVs sound like a Huracan.

Biggest disappointment, though, is the rear-end. The bottom half of the car looks like an Audi S3 and a bit cheap and nasty for a £100-200k vehicle.

Pretty much every post here says its an SUV - not a Supercar and certainly not a Gallardo/Huracan

Should there be a better home to discuss these badge-engineered VWs and their ilk (eg RR & Ferrari in 2020) ?

Strictly speaking, it's a super SUV (SSUV), so there's still space for it in the PH Supercars section. Or perhaps start a Super SUVs subsection.

Word on the street is that Lamborghini will sell ~3,200 Urus units worldwide this year (2018).
