Perhaps the most famous sports car manufacturer is Lamborghini. The Italians have always been famous for their fast cars. But this time they decided to encroach on something new - to create a crossover. The Lamborghini Urus is the first SUV the company has ever designed. In 2012, the first concept model was presented at the Beijing Auto Show. The Lamborghini sports crossover surprised many. Recently, the manufacturer announced the serial production, which will be launched next year.

Design

The appearance of the car is quite extraordinary. So, the car has rough, sporty edges, strict optics and wide "nostrils" of the air intake. The designers managed to emphasize the sportiness and dynamism of the SUV. This crossover is unlike any other - it has its own story and character.

Another feature of the Lamborghini crossover is thin mirrors. They areso small that they are barely visible to the driver. But this decision was not made to the detriment of security. The fact is that small cameras are integrated into these thin mirrors, which display all the information on a common display. The driver does not need to turn his head at all to be aware of the entire traffic situation.

The Lamborghini crossover has fairly wide wheel arches. This made it possible to accommodate 24-inch alloy wheels. Moreover, the wheels are equipped with carbon fiber petals. What is it for? This engineering move was invented to better cool the brake system while the discs are spinning. Expert reviews say that with this decision, the developers killed two birds with one stone - both beautiful and practical.

The back of the Lamborghini crossover is no less stylish than the front. So, here we can see twin exhaust pipes and neat diffusers. From above there is a small extension of the roof in the form of an adjustable spoiler. The broken lines of the lanterns perfectly complement the picture.

Dimensions

It looks like a really sporty and dynamic car. In terms of size, the car is a little more compact than the BMW X6. So, the length of the body is almost 5 meters, the width is 1.99 meters, the height is 1.66.

Salon

Interior design is original and unique. The color scheme immediately catches the eye. The Italians successfully combined white and black tones. On the center console, in addition to the deflectors, there is a large information display. It is on it that data from the rear-view mirror cameras is displayed. In addition, there are a lot of settings here. The display itself is touch type.

Seats deserve special attention. They have a light upholstery and are distinguished by a three-piece cushion, with rough edges. Previously, no one used such solutions on crossovers. The maximum is the sports "ladles" on the "Range Rover Sport". Here the fantasy of designers cleared up completely. In the interior of the Lamborghini crossover, you will not find the familiar details that are inherent in SUVs. Even the steering wheel here is sporty and slightly cut at the bottom.

The manufacturer notes that narrow mirrors with cameras will already be in the basic configuration. This should add a lot of positive feedback to the list of the company. As for the width of the cabin, there is plenty of space in it - the car is quite large.

Dashboard on the new crossover "Lamborghini" - digital type. Reviews say that it is quite informative. By the way, the panel combines not only the arrows of the speedometer and tachometer. This is an entire infotainment system that can be controlled using buttons.

Specifications

The manufacturer has long been silent about the technical data of the crossover. Recently it became known that the car will be equipped with a 10-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. According to the classics of the genre, the cylinders will be placed in a V-shape.

The engine from the Lamborghini Cabrera was taken as the basis. However, the crossover will be equipped with an engine with twoturbines. This made it possible to give out 590 forces with a volume of 5.2 liters. The torque is 750 Nm. The manufacturer is silent about fuel consumption. But the dynamic characteristics were presented at the presentation. So, up to a hundred the car accelerates in 4.8 seconds. And this despite the fact that the curb weight of the Lamborghini Urus is more than two tons. The maximum speed is exactly 300 kilometers per hour. Perhaps this is the fastest crossover in history - say the reviews. The car holds the road well thanks to a stiff sports suspension and wide rims on low-profile rubber.

In the future, the manufacturer plans to expand the range of powertrains by adding a new 12-cylinder injection engine with a displacement of 6.5 liters. This engine will have high potential - the maximum power at the level of 700 horsepower. Peak torque - 690 Nm. Also note that both power units are high-speed. Torque is available only in the range of 5 thousand rpm and above. In view of this, the engine "digests" only the 98th gasoline. The manufacturer did not mention anything about diesel units. Most likely, they will not be included in the main line.

Transmission

The Italian manufacturer does not hide the fact that the motor will be equipped with an 8-speed robotic gearbox. Previously, this transmission has already been used on the Audi Q 7 and has established itself as a very durable and reliable gearbox. By the way, gear shifting can be done both in automatic and inmanual mode (steering paddles are provided). Also note that the box uses two independent clutches. This allows you to transmit torque with virtually no loss and instantly shift gears, which has already caused positive feedback among car owners.

Lamborghini-Urus crossover: price

The estimated cost of the car will be from 140 to 170 thousand euros. The car is very rare and is unlikely to be officially delivered to Russia. What is the price of the Lamborghini crossover in rubles? The car will be sold at a price of 9 million 400 thousand rubles. For top versions will ask for at least 11 million. The main sales market is the United States of America, as well as China and the UK.

In 2018, it is planned to release about three thousand copies. The production itself will be established at the plant in Sant'Agata Bolognese, which is located in the province of Bologna. The area of the plant will be expanded to 150,000 square meters. And the number of employees on the assembly line will increase to 500.

Conclusion

So, we found out what the Lamborghini Urus crossover is. What can I say? Definitely, the first pancake did not come out lumpy for the Italians. Reviews note first of all the delightful appearance and no less original interior of the car. The crossover also has huge power potential. But is this car really good for Russia? Probably not, experts say. The car is very expensive and will quickly be overtaken by competitors like BMW and Range Rover. Expertspredict the dubious success of new items in our area. Despite all the qualities, this is a very expensive car (both in terms of purchase and maintenance).
