Lamborghini Urus | 35th Thailand International Motor Expo | Indian Autos Blog

The raging bull was also present at the Thai capital, bringing along a entourage of fast cars. Also on display at the 35th Thailand International Motor Expo was this, Lamborghini's answer to the world of fast SUVs.

The Lamborghini Urus is Lamborghini’s second SUV after the classic Lamborghini LM002. Lamborghini has built the high-performance coupe-SUV on the basis of the MLB-Evo platform. For now, a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 petrol engine is standard. This engine develops 650 PS at 6,500 rpm and 850 Nm of torque from 2,250-4,500 rpm. An 8-speed automatic transmission and a 4WD system work together to send drive to the wheels. The exotic SUV features a Torsen central self-locking differential for providing high control and agility in all driving conditions. It features active torque vectoring via a rear differential and rear-wheel steering as well.

Lamborghini claims a 0-100 km/h acceleration time and a top speed of 3.6 seconds and 305 km/h respectively. The driver can choose from six drive modes: Strada, Sport, Corsa, Neve (snow), Terra (off-road) and Sabbia (sand). There’s also an option to customise the drive via an ‘EGO’ mode. Stopping power is provided by carbon ceramic disc brakes at the front (440 mm x 40 mm) and rear (370 mm x 30 mm).
