Lamborghini Urus 2018 SUV has been revealed.

UK price and specs have been confirmed for the new Urus, which is only the second SUV the car manufacturer has ever made.

“The Lamborghini Urus is a visionary approach based on the infusion of Lamborghini DNA into the most versatile vehicle, the SUV,” says Stefano Domenicali, Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“The Urus elevates the SUV to a level not previously possible, the Super SUV. It is a true Lamborghini in terms of design, performance, driving dynamics and emotion as well as drivable every day in a range of environments.”

“The Urus fits perfectly within the Lamborghini family as a high performance car. It is the culmination of intensive development and passionate skill to create a new breed of bull: a Super SUV that transcends the boundaries of expectations and opens the door to new possibilities, for both our brand and our customers.”

Here is everything you need to know about the new car:

Power and performance

Powering the Urus is a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine which delivers 650bhp and 850Nm of torque.

This allows it to go from 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds and 0-124 mph in 12.8 seconds and open to a top speed of 189 mph.

While the Urus will be beaten in from 0-60mph by the Model X it trumps it, and any other SUV, with its top speed.

The engine is paired with an automatic eight-speed gearbox and the car is also setup with all-wheel drive and torque vectoring.

A plethora of driving modes tune the car to optimise performance in various different environments.

These are: STRADA, TERRA (off-road) and NEVE (snow), SABBIA (sand), SPORT and CORSA.

Footage from one of the teasers that the Italian car manufacturer revealed last month shows the SUVs proficiency in challenging off-road conditions.

A range of level of safety, security and driving assistance systems have also been added to the car which includes High Beam Assistant.
