The 2019 Lamborghini Urus Is A Brutal Display Of Speed And Extravagance

Well, everyone, the day has arrived. That automaker all of the kids had posters and screensavers of has finally come out with a (somewhat im)-practical SUV with four seats that, under a sheet, could almost be mistaken for a Kia Sportage. This is the new 2019 Lamborghini Urus, whether you wanted it or not.

It’s got four seats and looks oddly normal and SUV-like on the inside, yet we’re told that this is still, somehow, a Lamborghini. All in all, it stays relatively close to the original concept we saw way back in 2012. (!!!) And if the mechanically related Bentley Bentayga is any indication, it should go fast and print money.

It’s got some numbers—including horsepower. This thing puts out 641 brake horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, with a claimed 0 to 62 mph time of 3.6 seconds. All of that comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV’s top speed is 190 mph.

According to Autocar, the Urus will be £165,000, or more than $222,000 at current exchange rates. It’ll compete right up there with the SUVs you see in line to pick up your kids from school. Totally. (Official U.S. pricing hasn’t been announced.)

And, just so you can confirm that this is real and actually happening, here are some more photos of Lamborghini’s new SUV.
