From the teaser images and videos so far released to whet our appetites, the new Urus couldn’t be more different from the angular, V12-powered LM002 of 1986. It won’t look like it and it certainly won’t go like it, living up to its super-SUV billing with figures to raise eyebrows even among today’s mega SUVs: well over 600bhp, top speed approaching 190mph, 0-62mph in not much over three seconds.
There’s no V12 expected here, though, instead a blown V8 – making this the first-ever turbocharged Lamborghini. But it will recall its ancestor by being the first Lambo since the LM002 to offer more than just two doors and two seats, and with standard all-wheel drive is expected to have a degree of ability off-road. More anyway than an Aventador…
Plus we can expect most, if not quite all, of the design drama of Lamborghini’s sports cars. The latest teaser video shows the best clues yet to what it will look like.
