The Lamborghini Urus hasn’t drawn universal acclaim for its styling, we hadn’t seen it live until now though. Detroit is the first outing for Lamborghini’s new SUV which uses a combination of VAG parts blended in harmony with Lamborghini’s own design and ethos. We took a closer look at the car on display in North America.

The Urus uses the familiar 4.0 litre V8 with twin turbochargers, a first for the Italian company. The front-mounted engine produces 641 bhp at 6,800 rpm and 627 lb ft of torque. 0 to 100 km/h happens in just 3.6 seconds and 200 km/h, in 12.8 seconds. The power is routed through an eight-speed automatic box. It uses a torque converter to ensure maximum engine response.

Lamborghini have opted for an edgy look. The front is incredibly complex, blending a multitude of shapes, lines, curves – just about every styling tool at the designer’s disposal. The side and rear are no less coherent. A long line runs the length of the flank and the front wheel arch gets a fender vent. At the rear, quad exhausts surround a diffuser, the rear bonnet gets a lip spoiler and the roof, a small spoiler.

The versions on display in Detroit are white and grey, demonstrating the potential customisation options away from Lamborghini’s traditionally bright colour schemes.
