Not so long ago in Beijing in all its glory appeared a new creation from Automobili Lamborghini - Lamborghini Urus. At the auto show, visitors could see with their own eyes a conceptually new model of the first SUV in the history of the creation of Lamborghini cars. The engineers had to cope with a difficult task, because they had to completely rethink their long-standing approach to building sports supercars. But expectations were crowned with success - the car combines a truly sporty style and a very elegant interior. Based on first impressions, the car was completely ready for everyday trips both on busy highways and off-road. Wheel model Lamborghini Urus - permanent four-wheel drive. And the ability to adjust the ride height, a spacious 4-seater interior and a universal luggage compartment only fuel interest in the new product.

After all, all sports cars from the Italian automaker were deprived of this. The only exception was the LM 002 SUV, conceptually similar to the Urus, but produced in the late 80s of the last century. However, presented at the Beijing Auto ShowThe Urus hasn't lost all of the Lamborghini features. The first thing that catches your eye is the impressive appearance. At the same time, the Lamborghini Urus does not look too massive: with a width of 2 meters, the car has ideal proportions for a sports class. Another distinctive feature is the height of only 1.66 meters, and 24-inch wheels and discs with double spokes only emphasize the solidity of the car. Length - 4.99 meters. By the way, in Greek “Urus” means “horror”, “confusion”, and the appearance of the car fully justifies its name.

The SUV engine is also impressive. Under the hood there is a powerful 6 dm³ V-engine with 600 hp, or a more “modest” V8 gasoline engine with two turbines with 400 hp. According to a Lamborghini spokesperson, the top-of-the-range model will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Perfectly matched to the motor is a fast-acting robotic gearbox with 2 clutches. The body of the car is made of lightweight materials, which provides the car with high aerodynamics. The Lamborghini Urus has the lowest CO2 emissions of any member of its class. Many of the elements of the car are made of carbon fiber. The body panel, spoilers, 4 individual seats and much more are made from this material.

Ergonomics of the supercar interior also deserves a solid five. For example, headlights and windshield wipers can be controlled both withsteering wheel, and directly from the center console. To facilitate the management of other functions (climate control, entertainment, gps navigation), a touch screen is installed on the central panel of the car. Similar displays in the Lamborghini Urus are also for the rear row seats. The Italian concern plans to produce a little more than 3 thousand copies annually. Series production is not expected to start until late 2015, and the Lamborghini Urus will cost around $200,000. The company has high hopes for the Russian market, and also hopes that Urus will appeal to car enthusiasts from North America, the UK - the main markets for sports supercars.
