Lamborghini Launches Urus SUV, Gives It 641 HP To Play With

Lamborghini has officially re-entered the SUV sector, as their brand new, high-performance Urus SUV looks ready slay any and all opponents in its segment.

According to Lamborghini, the Urus' 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 engine will help it fit in perfectly alongside the Aventador and the Gallardo, and based on sheer numbers alone, it's easy to understand why.

With 641 HP and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque at its disposal, the Lamborghini Urus is able to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 12.8 seconds, and a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h).

The power hits all four wheels with the help of an electro-hydraulically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission, while a torque converter goes on to boost the twin turbo V8's response.

In order to achieve a performance-oriented center of gravity, Lamborghini mounted the Urus' turbocharged engine low, while also placing the central turbocharger near the combustion chambers, thus enhancing engine response.
