Lamborghini Urus

Lamborghini Urus is finally revealed in China. We have been waiting for ages. When will Lamborghini reveal the new SUV or is it just a gossip. According to released photos, it looks like a Mars Explorer vehicle that will be sent next year to Mars to explore new sites. Especially asymmetric reminded me the Mars Explorer from 1997! Also, this asymmetric design promises one more thing; no rear view.

Anyway, Mars explorer inspired Lamborghini Urus features new elements to SUV market. Such as rear diffuser, a tailgate mounted spoiler (I suspect it will be moving up and down). It will be powered by 600 PS engine with double clutch auto gearbox. As I know none of the big size SUV offers double clutch gearbox and Urus will be the first one.

Lamborghini estimates 3000 sales per year and I am sure they will achieve it easily! I don’t think it will share the same fate with the too early SUV, LM002!

Lamborghini Urus Concept (2012)


CAR GARAGE | Lamborghini Urus Concept (2012) |  The Lamborghini Mind completely redefines the term within the sporty SUV segment, yet without restricting its everyday usability. Virtually the complete interior is - in keeping with the Lamborghini's lightweight design strategy - finished in carbon fiber reinforced polymer.  Automobili Lamborghini possesses a unique competence in the use of carbon materials, and exhibits this innovative technology in the Mind Concept Lamborghini car. The center tunnel is particularly notable - an open, skeletal structure made from carbon fiber Forged Composite. Single cushions also clad the four bucket seats. The seating position is lower and flatter than in any other vehicle in the segment.  Mind The Lamborghini Concept also features an extremely minimized operating philosophy.


Lamborghini design is unique. Every Lamborghini is an artwork of avant-garde design, a technical sculpture in rapid movement. The Mind Lamborghini concept car adheres to this logic just as firmly as the Aventador sports car. All other functions Such as indicators, lights and windshield wipers are incorporated into either the multifunction steering wheel or the center console. The driver information is delivered via a Freely programmable TFT screen behind the steering wheel. The Mind is the Lamborghini for everyday use, for the family, for leisure pursuits with friends.  The Lamborghini Mind has a unique, utterly unmistakable appearance. At a length of 4.99 meters, it fits perfectly into the sporty SUV class. Together with its width of 1.99 meters, the Lamborghini Mind boasts the perfect proportions for the super athlete in the segment.


This expands the brand's customer base enormously - appealing to families and to the drivers of Lamborghini super sports cars who’s Thus far have driven SUV models from other brands. "The Mind is a very concrete idea for the future of Lamborghini - as a third model line and as the perfect complement to our super sports cars," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.  SUVs make up one of the most Successful market segments worldwide. The Mind is the most extreme interpretation of the SUV idea; it is the Lamborghini of the SUVs."The Mind is the Lamborghini Among SUVs. Its design concept places, performance and driving fun firmly and uncompromisingly front and center and redefines the benchmark for the competition.


The key to its performance is primarily the drive - the heart of every Lamborghini. One is Cleary defined targets - the Lamborghini Mind will beat all competitors when it comes comparable to CO2 emissions. The Mind will be considerably lighter than its competitors, sticking firmly to the Lamborghini's lightweight design philosophy. The Lamborghini Mind will set new benchmarks here, too. A low center of gravity and a highly variable height bodyshell Among the solutions are. The Lamborghini SUV is also notable for its innovative, adaptive aerodynamics. In combination with the variable bodyshell height, the height-adjustable front spoiler facilitates a good angle and excellent approach obstacle clearance. The form is, of course, aerodynamically refined. In combination with the likewise adaptive rear spoiler, the aerodynamic balance of the Mind Lamborghini can even be adjusted to suit the prevailing driving conditions.


The strong three-dimensionality with sharp lines, a clear arrow form, large water intakes left and right, the Y shape in the headlamps, the aerodynamically refined function of the elements and the lines That run from the hood over the roof to the rear of the vehicle - these characteristics of the Lamborghini design language are all evident in the Mind. Characteristic for the side view of the Lamborghini Mind is the narrow window surface tapers sharply toward That the rear. Together with the highly dynamic roofline and the extremely muscular rear wheel arch, They create a link and powerfully sporty look.  Substantial wheels are part of any Lamborghini, especially if it redefines the SUV segment in dynamics - the all-new 24-inch wheels sport a double-spoke design and are forged from matte-finish aluminum. Five carbon fiber wiglets optimize ventilation. A large Proportion of the front spoiler, side sills and the complete rear diffuser all the mighty display Clarey Their origins carbon fiber. The rear end of the Lamborghini Concept Mind is astonishingly round for a Lamborghini; it looks powerful, but in no way bulky.

Lamborghini Estoque (2013)


CAR GARAGE | Lamborghini Estoque (2013) | The 2013 Lamborghini Estoque faces other potholes on the road to showrooms It's not just the turbulent global economy. It's tightening fuel-economy standards in the vital U.S. market and a scheduled 2012 CO2 emissions caps in Europe. VW / Audi must meet these new limits, so every car it sells must help, Including the relative handful of Lamborghinis. Second, cost considerations suggest the 2013 Lamborghini Estoque would need to share a platform and many components with other models in the the vast VW / Audi empire. There's also talk of Estoque using a unique "blended" platform combining aluminum and carbon-fiber elements. In theory, the 2013 Lamborghini Estoque Could be designed to use any and all engines in the Audi Suitable arsenal.


VW / Audi is also working up a gas / electric hybrid power train, and however implausible That Might sound for a Lamborghini, it is another option According to Maurizio Reggiani, the company's director of Research and Development Technology. Purists, of course, would prefer a Lamborghini That power plant at least be available. Some believe the Estoque will launch with an engine identical to or very much like this, mated to a rear-mounted 6-speed automated manual transmission with steering-wheel shift paddles. The production car will almost Certainly follow the concept by having a standard all-wheel drive. Despite the added weight versus rear-wheel drive, Auto Week magazine of toll Reggiani That the Estoque will be "lighter than anything else out there" - the which tends to confirm rumors of exotic structural materials.


As for the rest of it, the 2013 Lamborghini Estoque should retain the concept's wedge, low-roof, coupe-style silhouette, Gallardo-like nose and tail, and cozy, leather-lined four-passenger cockpit.  A sedan it may be, but the 2013 Lamborghini Estoque should have expected all the technical hallmarks of this brand. That means all-independent double-wishbone suspension, big 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, an Audi-sourced anti skid and traction-control system, and a full complement of airbags. Though specifics are still far from Decided, Likely the goodies list would show 20 - and / or 21-inch wheels with high-speed tires, a voice-controlled disc-drive navigation system with music storage and wireless-device connections, and a version of Audi's Drive Select system allows tailoring That suspension, steering, and throttle responses through Several driver-selected modes.


The idea of a diesel-powered Lamborghini may seem weird, but "oil-burner" engines will be essential for Europe, where Diesels account for about 50 percent of all cars sold, even in the high-lux league. We doubt Americans would get a diesel Estoque, if only for Reasons image, but you never can tell. Technical aspects aside, the Estoque - assuming it's actually built - will the make history simply as Lamborghini's first production four-door sedan.

Lamborghini has Announced it will build 20 production models of the Sesto Elemento, a bantamweight concept car shown last year during the Paris Auto Show. It's a pity That Lamborghini says the production version of the Sesto Elemento is intended for "track use" only.


Lamborghini President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has stressed the role Important lightweight materials will play in the company's future lineup. The Sesto Elemento has taken this ethos to the extreme, by employing carbon fiber in every aspect of the car's construction. The seats are formed directly into the carbon-fiber tub, with thin cushions and high-tech fabrics attached directly to the monocoque.


The Sesto Elemento has a stellar weight-to-power ratio of 3.85 lb. per horsepower. The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the which has 638 bhp and a top speed of 205 mph seems a Positively-Porky in comparison, carrying 5.2 lb. per bhp.
