Lamborghini
has delivered its 50th Urus super SUV in India, making a new record for the
fastest 50 deliveries within the first 12 months since the first Urus was
delivered in India.
The
Lamborghini Urus sports a new front-mounted, 4.0 litre V8 twin-turbo engine
delivering 650 hp at 6,000 rpm, maximum 6,800 rpm, and 850 Nm of maximum torque
at 2250 rpm. With 162.7hp/l the Urus claims one of the highest specific power
outputs in its class and the best weight-to-power ratio at 3.38 kg/hp.
The
Urus accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 12.8 seconds and
with a top speed of 305 km/h it is the fastest SUV available. Braking is no
less impressive: the Urus decelerates from 100 km/h to 0 in 33.7 m.
The
Urus has up to six driving modes. The Tamburo driving mode selector on the
center console controls all dynamic vehicle systems and allows the selection of
driving dynamics according to surface conditions or drivers’ preference, via
Strada, Sport and Corsa as well the additional Neve (snow) mode. As an option,
two further off-road settings are offered.
The
Urus is undoubtedly a Lamborghini, taking cues from the LM002 as well as the
super sports cars that are fundamental to Lamborghini heritage like the Miura,
Murciélago and Countach.
Sharad
Agarwal, Head – Lamborghini India, said, ‘India was amongst the first few
markets to launch Urus and we anticipated that Urus is going to drive our
future growth in volumes. The Lamborghini Super SUV Urus offers the driving
dynamics and emotions true to Lamborghini DNA and has versatility of an SUV
that addresses the challenge that we have in India, in terms of infrastructure.
Over 70% of the Urus customers are first time buyers of the brand and with the
Urus added to the Lamborghini model range, it continues to expand our reach to
new geographies in India.”
