This is the Lambo SUV: Urus Concept Breaks Cover Prior to Debut [Beijing Auto Show]

Lamborghini Urus concept

Photos of Lamborghini's much-anticipated Urus SUV concept have leaked out ahead of its official unveil at the Beijing auto show.

Once the Urus reaches production a few years from now, it will ride on a platform shared with the next-generation VW Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne, as well as the production version of Bentley's forthcoming SUV. The VW Group's powertrain parts bin is deep and provides plenty of options for Rambo Lambo II: First Blood, but we think the Audi-derived V-10 currently used in the Gallardo or the new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 found in the latest S8 (among other vehicles) are the likeliest choices. Hybridization is also a possibility.



Renderings we published in February nearly nailed the Estoque-inspired exterior styling, but the leaked photos provide our first look at the interior. The four-place cabin features highly stylized—and incredibly cool—seats, Lambo's usual row of center-stack toggle switches, and a whole mess of the company's forged composite material. (Forged composite was co-developed with golf-club manufacturer Callaway; read more about the innovative stuff here.) As a whole, the Urus is a purposeful-looking piece.

Full details and additional photos will be available next week—or sooner, if the leakage continues.
