Lamborghini Urus Launched In India For Rs 3 Crore; To Compete With The Likes Of Bentley, Porsche
Italian luxury automaker Lamborghini has launched its much awaited SUV Urus in India on Thursday (11 January) at a price of Rs 3 crore. Lamborghini Urus is the brand’s second SUV after the LM002, which was produced from 1986-1993.
Urus, which derives its name from the ancestor of modern domestic cattle, is a 5-door SUV that is based on Volkswagen's MLBevo platform that styles the Audi Q7, Audi Q8, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.
The Lamborghini Urus features 4L twin-turbo V8 engine that churns out 478kW of maximum power at 6,000rpm and peak torque of 850Nm at 2,250-4,500rpm. It is different from other Lamborghinis in the sense that it does not use the brand’s usual V10 or V12 engines.
The vehicle has a maximum speed of 305km/hr, which makes it the world’s fastest production SUV, and can accelerate from 0-100km/hr in 3.6 seconds.
The automaker has went for an extensive usage of carbon fiber reinforced polymer to make Urus weigh much lighter than its competitors at 2,200kg.
Lamborghini Urus weighs 5,112mm X 2,016mm X 1,638mm, with a wheelbase of 3,003mm.
