Lamborghini Urus SUV

Stolen SA Lamborghini Urus with R200 000 reward spotted in Mozambique

Earlier this week, Team Trio Task Force took to social media with a BOLO (be on the lookout) post for a stolen white Lamborghini Urus. The post also advertised a R200 000 reward for any information about the car.

Cars get stolen on a daily basis but when it's something as unique as a Lamborghini SUV, of which there are only a few handful in the country, and even less in our neighbouring states - it sticks out like a very sore thumb. The missing Urus is now a very hot car and it will only be a matter of time before it will hopefully be found because whoever has it, is a sitting duck. And, should it be spotted anywhere, people are urged to contact the authorities as soon as possible.

Kids In Boston Stole Two Lamborghini Urus’ And Then Crashed Them Into Each Other

Early on Monday morning (17th February at 03:00), officers from the Wayland Police Department, outside Boston, responded to a commercial burglar alarm. It was at the local Lambo dealership, Lamborghini of Boston.

The first police officer had not even reached the dealership yet when he saw two Lamborghini Urus’ and a Chevrolet Cruze. When he turned on the blue lights, the Lamborghini’s took off and the occupants of the Cruze were arrested on the spot as neither of the two youths had a driver’s license or “authority to operate the vehicle in their possession.”

Mansory adds crazy aero kit (and extra power) to the Lamborghini Urus!

The new Mansory Venatus is a Lamborghini Urus fitted with a head-turning aerodynamic kit and benefitting from a hefty bump in power.

Painted in matte blue with neon green accents, the tuner's take on the Urus dons a carbon-fibre splitter, bonnet, side skirts, rear spoilers (one each for the roof and the tailgate) and a diffuser housing a unique tri-star exhaust outlet.

Lamborghini Urus (2020) Launch Review

Fast Facts

Price: R3 495 (March 2020, no options)
Engine: 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo
Gearbox: 8-speed automatic
Fuel economy: 12.3 L/100 km (claimed)
Power/Torque: 478 kW/850 Nm
Performance: 0-100 kph in 3.6 sec (claimed)

Verdict

Like the Cayenne did many years ago, the Urus has rewritten the sports-SUV rulebook, and at the same time is helping fund the development of future, more traditional sports machines from the Italian marque. It remains to be seen what the upcoming Audi RS Q8 will cost, and how close it will come in matching the Urus for driving and emotional appeal, but for now we rate the Urus as actually attractively priced (for a Lambo) at R3 495 000, particularly because its healthy dose of emotional, irrational, typically hardcore Lamborghini appeal is matched by its actual abilities in the real world.

60 percent of all Lamborghinis sold in 2019 were Urus SUVs

More and more sports car manufacturers are turning to SUVs to bolster their profit margins and keep the bean counters appeased and this strategy is certainly paying off for companies like Porsche and Lamborghini.

Just like the Cayenne has become Porsche’s biggest cash cow, the Urus ‘Super SUV’ has become the Italian supercar maker’s best selling model by a country mile.

Lamborghini has just released its 2019 sales stats, which show that in its first full sales year the Urus found 4962 homes, while accounting for 60.47 percent of all Lamborghini sales.

This allowed the company to increase its overall worldwide sales figure by 43 percent to total 8205 units in 2019.

The marque’s best-selling sports car was the Huracan, of which 2139 were sold, while the Aventador notched up 1104 sales.

 
DRIVEN: Lamborghini Urus

Like its compatriot Alfa Romeo, via active anti-roll bars and active torque vectoring the Urus once again defies both its mass and raised centre of gravity by maintaining astonishing levels of balance and cornering precision at speeds that would challenge the poise of most modern hot hatches. Like the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, it’s the quick reactions of the electrically assisted steering system that serves to heighten the overall sense of occasion. Offering a more convincing easy-going setting than the Stelvio, in the Lamborghini it’s rather the standard fitment of all-wheel-steering that serves to keep its driver alert. Able to (by moving by around three degrees) effectively lengthen or shorten the wheelbase by up to 600 mm, it’s a system that works wonders while pushing on, yet adds a level of sensitivity at lower speeds that takes a little getting used.

While volume (over half of the more than 8 000 Lamborghinis sold in 2019 were Urus units) and corresponding profit can mean only good things for all future products – low-slung and otherwise – what’s most impressive about the Urus is that despite its shared underpinnings, the final product remains as close to being a true Lamborghini creation as possible.

It’s credit to the boardrooms in Sant’Agata Bolognese and at Volkswagen AG that a model like the Urus has been afforded a persona, performance and dynamic ability not easily confused nor conflicted with anything else the Group currently offers.

WATCH | Driving the Lamborghini Urus super SUV is like commandeering The Hulk

Calvin Fisher, creator of the video above, says: "I know what you're thinking. Urus sounds a hell of a lot like Virus, doesn't it? Well, prepare to get infected with 478kW and 850Nm. That's a hell of a lot of blunt force drama from its twin-turbo 4.0 litre V8 - good for a zero-to-hundred sprint in just 3.6 seconds and a max speed of 305km/h, with cogs swapped through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic box. Which is extraordinary for something with family ties to a VW Touareg.
And if you’re foolish enough to leave it in Strada or Sport mode you’ll feel the connection to those Volkswagen Audi Group offerings, but dial the ANIMA to Corsa mode and you’ll leave all the other sporty SUVs you’ve ever driven in its dust. In this mode the Urus is a properly agile beast with performance more akin to a raging bull which is exactly what you expect in a Lamborghini. Even a tall one like this."

Reminds me of the Suzuki Jimny AMG Brabus kit.
