2018 Lamborghini Urus – Italian crossover
The new crossover Lamborghini Urus is presented to the public on December 4, 2017, after just 5 years after the debut presentation of the Lamborghini concept tour prototype in the spring of 2012 at the Beijing Motor Show. In our review of the Lamborghini Urus-2018-2019 – photos and videos, price and full technical specifications of the champion luxury crossover, the most dynamic and fast-moving in the world today. The sale of the Lamborghini Urus will be launched recently in the spring of 2018 at a price of 15.2 million conventional units, the Hurricane premium crossover Lambo with a diesel 650-horsepower petrol V8 twin-turbo in America ranges from 200,000 dollars and British pounds 131,500, in Europe from 171,429 euros, and in China from 3,130,000 yuan.
Production of new items will begin in early 2018 in Lamborghini's native Sant'Agata Bolognese. Most of the units, assemblies and components for the new Urus crossover will be delivered to Italy from Slovakia from Volkswagen's Bratislava plant, where the splattermania production of the new Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7 is carried out, as well as kits for the other two brothers – the Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga can .
With the start of the life cycle of new management, the Lamborghini Urus crossover hopes to increase the number of cars produced for the impressive company at around 7,000 cars per year (3457 sports cars were produced in 2016). Thus, the new Lamborghini Urus takes over half of the production area in Sant'Agata Bolognese, by the way, in the last two years from 80,000 to 160,000 m2. The Italians are very serious about the start of production of Lamborghini Urus in a short time raised not only the canvas of the workshop and the workshop for assembling and storing components, but also to test the track.
Plans for 2018 for the production of new items have not yet been announced, but it can be tentatively said that this year no more than 2,000 crossovers will leave the gates of the plant. From 2019, Lamborghini hopes to sell at least 3,500 units annually. It is interesting that the Russian quotas (100 wagons) for the Lamborghini Urus in 2018 are almost sold out, and until the end of December 2017 we are accepting pre-orders for the delivery of cars to customers in the fall of next year.
Urus crossover production version does not look as elegant as the Urus concept presented 5 years ago. The car looks more aggressive and brutal, as befits a real sports car champion among the most expensive crossovers. Tour Primitive Bull (literal meaning of the model name in Russian) has already been called the coolest SUV in the world. And in all categories:
- First, the dynamic range from 0 to 100 km in 3.6 seconds, from 0 to 200 km / h in 12.8 seconds.
- Secondly, the fastest is the maximum speed of 305 mph.
- The third, most powerful twin-turbo V8 produces 650 horsepower (we don't take the Jeep’s grandiose Cherokee Trackhawk with 717 horsepower into account).
- Fourth, an Italian crossover with an unusual appearance and body more like a sports car than a crossover.
- Fifth, the Italian model is the highest component of the price from 15.2 to 20 million conventional units.
It remains only to add that the Lamborghini Urus is a real exclusive, and even with a maximum circulation of 3,500 copies a year, you are not at all interested in seeing the work of modern engineering with your own eyes. The Bentley Bentayga may, against the background of the Italian crossover, look like a crowd from the car 5586, sold only in 2016.
Don't make a verbal portrait of an Italian crossover with supercar genes, and focus our readers' attention on superior technology. In addition, the photos and videos posted in the review contribute to revealing the phenomenal exterior design of the crossover model's exterior and interior, available with both a 5- and 4-seater saloon. In the first case, in the second row there are three sofas, and the second two separate seats with electric drive.
- The external dimensions of the body of the Lamborghini Urus 2018-2019 are 5112 mm long, 2016 mm wide, 1638 mm high, with a 3003 mm wheelbase and ground clearance, capable of varying 158-248 mm.
The Urus model is based on the MLB Evo platform, which, by the way, is the weight of Volkswagen AG's Audi A4, Audi A7, Audi A8 (reward truck version) and Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, before the new generation Volkswagen Touareg which is scheduled to premiere in January 2018. Suspension of all wheels, of course, independent (two levers in front and multi-link rear) with pneumatic mounts, electronically controlled shock absorbers and active anti-roll bars. In the presence of permanent four-wheel drive (Torsen differential), plerodomiana brakes, twin-turbo diesel 8-cylinder engine, 8 automatic transmission from ZF.
Only with an eye on this technical information can we safely attribute the new Lamborghini Urus to a unique Italian car company. This is the first 29 years old Lambo from the G8, and also the first in 24 years, cars from Sant'Agata Bolognese with a four-door body and front engine.
The location of the front engine under the hood is a consequence of the use of the MLB Evo platform. But the presence of a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo (Audi 4.0 V8 engine with a pair of turbos) is the ability to provide a crossover with a less attractive price in the Chinese market (in China, under local laws, engine sizes over 4000 cm3 are taxed in the same way, exorbitant taxes). So for explanations, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the full technical specifications.
Specifications Lamborghini Urus
Suspension of all wheels is independent, pneumatic with electronic control, adaptive shock absorbers and steering of the rear wheels (angle of rotation up to 3 degrees), permanent all-wheel drive in the company with a Torsen differential by default transfers 40% of traction to the front wheels and 60% to the rear (if necessary and with an eye to the features of the road surface, up to 70% of torque can be transmitted to the front axle, and up to 87% to the rear axle, and an active rear differential, which can change the thrust vector.
Supplement with an all-wheel drive transmission 6 driving modes, brought to the original Tamburo selector (drum) located on the central tunnel: Strada (road), Sport (sports), Corsa (racing), Neva (snow), Sabbia (sand) and Terra (ground), but… only when the optional off-road package gives the Urus the ability to move confidently on asphalt (compact bumper providing more solid approach and exit angles). In the basic version, the electronics driving mode is just 4 – Strada, Sport, Corsa and Neve.
Standard plerodomiana Brakes: 440mm front discs with 10-piston calipers, 370mm rear discs with 6-piston calipers.
