Drive :
With us being more familiar with the Aventador and Huracans performance , style and absolute brute speed we were wondering if Lamborghini had been able to keep the essence of this in the Urus . The short answer is YES !
The Urus carries an outstanding V8 engine that manages to take the 2.2-ton Urus from 0-100KM / H in just 3.6 seconds which means the speed of the Urus enters supercar territory .
On the road , the Urus sits perfectly and glides through most urban routes without and issues . When driving around town the engine hardly makes a noise but as soon as you start to put your foot down you start to feel the car wanting to give you more . You feel like you are constantly being given more and more power to your foot and the car makes you feel giddy and encourages you like a naughty sibling .
When you start to hit some decent speed the four-wheel drive , suspension and carbon ceramic brakes all work perfectly to keep the 2.2 ton car feeling like an ice skater floating around each corner .
Interior :
As soon as you take your seat inside the Urus you get a sense of drama , it feels like you could be sitting inside a Jet-fighter with the design of the dash and the red flip cap hiding the start button .
You then have the lever in the middle to control the drive modes that can change the performance settings . Strada for its on-road mode , Sport which is also for on road driving but gives you a chance to get the engine singing and also gives you a chance to listen to the rumble and spit coming from the exhausts which will make the best of men weak at the knees . You will also see Corsa which makes the Urus Track ready along with three other modes for off road and winter driving . One touch I absolutely loved was when you changed mode the colour on the display would change to red , orange etc giving modes like sport a more dramatic feel to them .
You can just sit in the Urus and marvel at the whole interior with not one bit of nasty plastic looking or feeling material anywhere to be seen . You don ’ t have to look far to see that everything has been made with high-quality products from people who understand and appreciate the smaller details .
