Crossover "Lamborghini-Urus": an overview, features and reviews.

Perhaps the most famous manufacturer of sports cars is the Lamborghini. The Italians were always famous for their fast cars. But this time they decided to encroach on something new - to create a crossover. "Lamborghini-Urus" is the first SUV that was ever designed in the company. In 2012, the first concept of the model was presented at the Beijing auto show. Sports crossover "Lamborghini" surprised many. Recently, the manufacturer announced a serial release, which will be launched next year.

Design

The exterior of the car is rather unusual. So, the car has rough, sporty facets, strict optics and wide "nostrils" of the air intake. The designers managed to emphasize the sportiness and dynamism of the SUV. This crossover is not like the others - it has its own history and character. Another feature of the crossover "Lamborghini" is the thin mirrors. They are so small that they are barely visible to the driver. But this decision was made not to the detriment of security. The fact is that in these thin mirrors are integrated small cameras that output all information to a common display. The driver does not need to rotate his head to be aware of the entire traffic situation.

Crossover "Lamborghini" has a fairly wide wheel arches. This allowed the placement of alloy wheels at 24 inches. Moreover, the wheels are equipped with carbon-fiber petals. What is it for? This engineering move was coined to better cool the brake system during the rotation of the discs. Experts say that this decision developers killed two birds with one stone - and it's beautiful, and practical. The back of the crossover "Lamborghini" is no less stylish than the front. So, here we can see twin exhaust pipes and neat diffusers. On top there is a small extension of the roof in the form of an adjustable spoiler. Broken lines of lanterns perfectly complement the picture.

Dimensions

In appearance it is really a sporty and dynamic car. As for the dimensions, the car is a little more compact than the BMW X6. So, the body length is almost 5 meters, width - 1.99 meters, height - 1.66.

Salon

Interior design is original and unique. Immediately the color rushes into the eyes. Italians successfully combined white and black colors. On the central console, in addition to the deflectors, there is a large information display. It is on it that the data from the mirrors of the rear view mirrors are displayed. In addition, there are a lot of settings. The display itself is of the touch type. Seat deserves special attention. They have a light upholstery and are characterized by a three-part cushion, with rough edges. Earlier, no one used such solutions on crossovers. The maximum is a sport "buckets" on the "Range-Rover-Sport". Here, the imagination of the designers roared up completely. In the cabin of the crossover "Lamborghini" you will not find the usual details that are inherent in SUVs. Even the steering wheel is here with a sports grip and a bit cut down.

The manufacturer notes that narrow mirrors with cameras will already be in the base configuration. This should add to the list of companies a lot of positive feedback. As for the width of the cabin, there is plenty of room for it - the car is quite large. The instrument panel on the new Lamborghini crossover is a digital type. The reviews say that it is informative enough. By the way, the panel combines not only the arrows of the speedometer and tachometer. This is a whole infotainment system, which can be controlled with the help of buttons.

Specifications

The manufacturer has long been silent about the technical data of the crossover. Recently it became known that the car will be equipped with a turbocharged gasoline engine for 10 cylinders. According to the genre classics, the cylinders will be placed V-shaped.

The engine was taken from Lamborghini Cabrera as the basis. However, a crossover engine will be installed with two turbines. This made it possible to issue 590 forces at a volume of 5.2 liters. The torque is 750 Nm. On the fuel consumption the producer is silent. But the dynamic characteristics were presented at the presentation. So, up to a hundred the car accelerates in 4.8 seconds. And this despite the fact that the curb weight of Lamborghini-Urus is more than two tons. The maximum speed is exactly 300 kilometers per hour. Perhaps this is the fastest crossover in history - note the reviews. The car perfectly keeps road thanks to a rigid sports suspension and wide disks on low-profile rubber. In the future, the manufacturer plans to expand the range of power units by adding a new 12-cylinder in-line engine with a working volume of 6.5 liters. This engine will have a high potential - maximum power at 700 horsepower. The peak torque is 690 Nm. Also note that both power units are highly revolving. Torque is available only in the range of 5 and above thousands of revolutions. In view of this, the engine "digests" only 98th gasoline. The manufacturer did not mention diesel units. Most likely, they will not be included in the main line.

Transmission

The Italian manufacturer does not hide that the engine will be equipped with a robotic gearbox for 8 speeds. Previously, this transmission has already been used on the Audi QI 7 and has proven to be a very hardy and reliable CAT. By the way, the gear shift can be performed both in automatic and manual mode (paddle shift petals are provided). Also note that the box uses two independent clutches. This allows you to transmit torque virtually without loss and instantly make gear changes, which has already caused approving reviews among car owners.

Crossover "Lamborghini-Urus": price

The estimated cost of the car will be from 140 to 170 thousand euros. The car is very rare and officially in Russia is unlikely to be delivered. What is the price in rubles for the Lamborghini crossover? The car will be sold at a price of 9 million 400 thousand rubles. For the top versions will ask at least 11 million. The main market is the United States of America, as well as China and the United Kingdom. In 2018 it is planned to release about three thousand copies. Production itself will be set up at the plant in Sant'Agata Bolognese, which is located in the province of Bologna. The area of the plant will be expanded to 150 thousand square meters. And the number of employees on the assembly line will increase to 500.

Conclusion

So, we found out what the crossover "Lamborghini-Urus" is. What can I say? Definitely, the Italians first pancake did not come out as a lump. Reviews mark first of all the exquisite appearance and no less original interior of the car. Also, the crossover has a huge capacity potential. But is this car so good for Russia? Probably not, say connoisseurs. The car is very expensive, and it will be quickly overtaken by competitors like BMW and the Range Rover. Experts predict the dubious success of the novelty in our region. Despite all the qualities, it is a very expensive car (both in terms of purchase, and in terms of maintenance).
