Twenty five years after the outrageous LM002 ended production, Lamborghini is getting back in the SUV game with a new model, the Urus. We haven't seen it in the flesh yet, but we actually know quite a lot about this new SUV. It's just two months away from making its debut, so in the meantime, let's get caught up on what we've already heard.
Lamborghini is one of the few automakers that has stuck steadfastly to naturally aspirated engines, but that's set to change with the Urus. Company CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed earlier this year that the SUV would get a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 making 650 hp. Interestingly, this engine isn't the new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 developed by Porsche for use across the VW Group - Lambo's V8 is brand-exclusive.
Lamborghini went for a twin-turbo V8 presumably to improve fuel economy, but also because it better suited the character of an SUV. In 2015, Lamborghini R&D boss Maurizio Reggiani said that a V8 would be light, and provide nice low-end torque.
The Urus might have fewer cylinders than Lamborghini's other cars, but it's not lacking power - it'll have 10 more horsepower than the Huracan Performante and it won't be far off the 691-hp Aventador.
