SUVs are always fun to drive because of their ‘take me anywhere’ factor. However, when Lamborghini announced to introduce a performance-oriented one, everybody was baffled. They have been in this business once with the LM002 but back then, it was only a capable off-roader. Mixing the SUV stance with a sports car was truly a new concept for everyone and to be precise, it was even one of the most important experiments for Lamborghini to even survive. Well, that’s one of the major reasons why we have the Urus in the first place.
Lamborghini Urus is now a success story for the brand. As a result, the 15000th unit of the performance SUV has finally rolled out from the facility.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Lamborghini has achieved a 15,000 units production milestone for the Urus.
- It will continue to come powered by a 650HP, 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine.
- The 15,000th unit is a Graphite Capsule edition with an exclusive colour shade.
Lamborghini Urus
Talking about the SUV that has recently rolled out of the facility, is a Graphite Capsule Edition. As claimed by the brand, it comes finished in Grigio Keres Matt exterior shade with Verde Scandal detailing. Interestingly, just like on the outside, the cabin of the Urus Graphite Capsule Edition gets a dual-tone finishing in Nero Ade and Verde Scandal. Using a chassis number 15000, it is expected to go to a customer in the UK.
Powering the 2.2-tonne Urus is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The overall output from this motor stands at a massive 650HP and 850Nm of peak torque while being paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It even gets a four-wheel drive powertrain and this entire setup pushes the Urus to clock a triple-digit speed in just 3.6 seconds. The top speed from the same is rated at 305kmph ultimately, making it the fastest production SUV in the world.
Lamborghini crossed the 10,000 unit mark back in 2020 with around 4,850 units getting delivered in the first six months of 2021. According to the sales figures available, the YoY sales has improved by 37 per cent. Coming to the Indian market, the brand launched it in 2018 with over 100 units of them already delivered till now. To be precise, some well-known personalities such as Rohit Shetty (Film Director), Mukesh Ambani (Businessman), Adar Poonawalla (CEO, Serum Institute of India), Ranveer Singh and Kartik Aryan owns a Lamborghini Urus in India.
