Lamborghini just unleashed the fastest SUV in the world

Lamborghini unveiled the all-new Urus SUV on Monday in a presentation that could best be described as shambolic. A technical glitch forced Lamborghini temporarily to shut down the launch presentation and global webstream.

While the presentation may have been a bit of a mess, the Urus is anything but. The Lambo looks lean, mean, and ready to take on the world.

The striking off-roader is just the second SUV in the company’s history and is expected to double its annual sales total to around 7,000 cars globally.

Powered by a 650 horsepower, 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8, Lambo claims the Urus can hit 100 kilometres per hour in just 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 305km/h, besting the Bentley Bentayga’s 301km/h mark.

According to Lamborghini, this makes the Urus the fastest SUV in the world.

“The Lamborghini Urus is a visionary approach based on the infusion of Lamborghini DNA into the most versatile vehicle, the SUV,” Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali said in a statement. “The Urus elevates the SUV to a level not previously possible, the Super SUV.”
