supercar maker lamborghini can’t help themselves when they make a car. it always has to be super, in both performance and looks. urus will be the first turbo-charged lamborghini and a plugin hybrid will follow shortly. they recently unveiled their first all-electric terzo millennio
and at the moment the looks set urus apart from the other suv’s on the road in the luxury segments – bentley bentayga, mercedes g-class, and porsche cayenne. concepts are in the works for aston martin dbx, rolls-royce cullinan, and now probably ferrari. and everyone but the aficionados and purists, who only have one vision of a brand, now see a natural fit for the suv in any maker’s barn. almost forgot, mclaren not saying much at this time.
