The speculation can finally end — Lamborghini is, in fact, working on an SUV, the concept version of which is called the Lamborghini Urus. Renderings of the 21st-century Lamborghini ute have leaked online today before its official unveiling at the Beijing auto show.

No details have emerged along with the renderings, but we now have a clear look at both the exterior and interior of the Urus. The styling is clearly inspired by the Estoque concept car from the 2008 Paris show, but has been grafted onto a BMW X6-like body. The front fascia wears slim headlights with a large rectangular opening that has been split into four distinct sections — it looks like the giant lower grille treatment helps to reduce visual height. The profile is clean and simple, with a crisp character line that runs between the bulging wheel arches. Around back, the Urus looks almost identical to an X6, but with slim, full-width taillights and quad pentagonal exhaust outlets. At least in these pictures, the result is clearly a Lamborghini though with more rounded corners than sharp creases.

The interior of the Urus will be nothing new to any fan of the Lamborghini brand. A cascading center stack looks to be made of the same carbon fiber-reinforced polymer that was used on the Sesto Elemento Concept and includes a large touchscreen. At the bottom of the stack looks to be the same red jet-fighter-esque start button cover as on the Aventador. This being a four-door Lamborghini means that there is seating for an additional two passengers in the second row.

Until now, it had only been rumored that the Lamborghini SUV would take the Urus name, and thanks to these images, it seems to have been confirmed by way of license plates reading “URUS.”

We have no word yet on what may power the Urus concept, but it’s been rumored that it will use a version of the Gallardo’s 5.2-liter V-10 tuned to somewhere between 550 and 580 hp. Expect then to see either the seven-speed automated-manual transmission from the Aventador or the six-speed E-Gear transmission from the Gallardo. Of course, like the other two Lamborghini models, expect the Urus to send power to all four wheels.

Stay tuned for the full information on the Lamborghini Urus SUV once it makes its premiere in just a few days at the 2012 Beijing show.


Lamborghini needs to ease off the concept cars and replace the Gallardo with something amazing.

Reminds me of a Veloster.

Not bad looking

It's not terrible looking, BUT it has a few too many styling cues from the X6 and the forward-side profile seems a bit too much Land Rover ish. Lambo's need to stick out a bit more than that concept.

It maintains consistency with Lamborghini's current design concepts but it isn't quite as brutish as the LM002.

Imagine how many people like Utah can buy their wives a Lambo without worrying about them destroying it.

If buying my wife a lambo suv meant I could buy another sports car...f'k yah.

I had my concerns, however, when the Reventon arrived, followed by the Aventador. They weren’t beautiful any more. They were merely aggressive. And the Stealth-fighter look of the Reventon wasn’t promising. It had the whiff of an Affliction T-shirt to it, or the former Subway employee getting a tribal tattoo. Somebody was trying too hard. Somebody was about to become somebody else’s bitch.

Which leads me to the new Lamborghini SUV. I think it’s called the Urus, which is some kind of contraction of “Ursus”, which means bear, and “Anus”, which means rectum. Naturally, it’s a complete joke, a pathetic attempt to make a Russian mafia wife’s shopping cart look like Batman’s Murci. It pisses all over the face of everything for which Lamborghini has ever stood, and before you mention the LM-002, I will stop you and say that was ridiculous as well. We forgive the LM-002 because it was a piece of garbage. It earned its Italian stripes by being a completely useless accessory. The man who drove a Miura wouldn’t bother to raw-dog the accessory who drives a Urus in a roadside bathroom somewhere.

And yet the Urus will soon be the man of the house at Lamborghini, the way the Cayamara runs the show in Stuttgart. It will sell to the one percent. The Aventador is now, officially, living in Mom’s basement. It may pump up further, it may experience steroidal 240-mph rage or thousand-horsepower gym prowess, but we all know the deal. Lamborghini is dead. They can’t say that at the color rags, because they still want to fly to Italy so they can drive this piece of shit and pretend the waitresses at the press dinner find them attractive, but you read it here first. Lamborghini is dead, just like its founder. Anything else that happens is just theater, as fake as the “SEALs” that flex their muscles in television dramas and pretend to be related, in some way, to my father’s quiet killer of a friend.

:lol: And I agree! (http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2012/04/hype-and-hypertrophy-how-lamborghini-lost-its-man-card/)

Kinda cool. If I had a couple of hundred grand to piss away it might be a fun ride...
