Lamborghini's much-awaited SUV, the Urus will be production ready and available by 2017

Lamborghini’s much awaited spiritual successor to the legendary LM001 SUV of the 80’s, the Lamborghini Urus is said to make its production debut in 2017. According to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winklemann, the Urus, first previewed at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2012 will be ready to be produced and available to the public by 2017 as per internal Lamborghini timelines.

The Lamborghini Urus SUV is said to feature major body panels crafted out of carbon fibre making it substantially lighter than other similar SUVs. The Lamborghini Urus will be based on the next generation Audi Q7 platform, which will also be the basis for the next generation Volkswagen Touareg and the new Porsche Cayenne. The Lamborghini Urus is also said to feature a lot of technology shared by Bentley’s new flagship SUV.

The Lamborghini Urus is said to feature a V10 engine, possibly Audi’s 5.2-litre V10 engine, which produces 592Ps. The Lamborghini Urus might also get a new plug-in hybrid technology, which will boost its overall power output north of the 700Ps mark making it the most powerful SUV on the market. The Lamborghini Urus concept features a front-engine, all-wheel-drive setup.

In September 2013, Stephan Winklemann had stated that Lamborghini will be made and sold to the public but gave no timeline for the same until recently. He had earlier revealed that Lamborghini could make up to 3000 units of the Urus SUVs to meet global demand. Considering the number of Porsche Cayenne SUVs sold last year, there certainly is a market for the Lamborghini Urus.
