Lamborghini Urus
(approximate MSRP $100,000-$200,000)
The new Lamborghini super-SUV wowed spectators at the Spring Beijing Auto Show. The Italian designer has a long history of high
performance sports cars, and with the debut of its new SUV model, they will continue the legacy. The Urus concept car is only a
preview of what the company plans to release in 2015 as executives debate on which car manufacturer will design the vehicle. The
company envisions the Urus to be an “everyday” vehicle with special attention being paid to a more eco-friendly engine design.
Lamborghinis are not heralded for great gas mileage, but the Urus will be designed to release lower CO2 emissions like that of their
main competitor, Bentley. Superior performance is a trademark of Lamborghini and the all-wheel-drive system and other special
features will maintain their high quality standards.
The Urus concept will be longer and wider than the traditional models but significantly lighter to accommodate the high speeds and
600hp capability. One special feature will be the height-adjustable front spoiler that can be retracted for ground clearance or lowered
for increased stability at higher speeds. An adjustable back spoiler is also included with 24-inch wheels to match. The interior will
display the typical Lamborghini style with four bucket seats and full touch-screen capabilities. The white and black leather gives off
the ambience of a spaceship, or as Lamborghini claims, the future in high performance sports utility vehicles. This luxury model is
still in preparation for the market, but the price range will be between that of the Gallardo and Aventador models. If you have a need
for speed and a taste for extravagance, this may be the SUV for you.
