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.

  • 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.
