Lamborghini Urus: New details surface ahead of global unveil

The Lamborghini Urus will be powered by a newly developed twin-turbo V8 engine that will churn out around 641 BHP. This information has been revealed by the company's CEO - Stefano Domenicali.

It has also been revealed that Lamborghini is working on a plug-in hybrid version of the aforementioned engine, which will likely be launched a year after the standard model's debut. Lamborghini will likely be unveiling the Urus globally by the end of this year, with deliveries starting in select markets from the second quarter of 2018.

The SUV will be manufactured at the company’s factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. This manufacturing facility also develops the Huracan and the Aventador sports car. Interestingly, Lamborghini will be building a new paint shop for the Urus, which will be the first of its kind facility in the said factory. The supercar maker has till now been relying on external suppliers for painting the body shells of its cars.

The Italian automaker is targeting to produce 1,000 units of the Urus SUV in 2018, which will be increased to 3,500 units the following year. However, the company is open to increasing its production capacity if it receives higher demand.
