As dramatic as it appears, the
LM002 was designed primarily as
a super-luxe expedition vehicle
for sheikhs and warlords.set known as MLBevo, the platform that also underpins
the Bentayga, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. Its 4.0-liter
twin-turbo V-8 and ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic
transmission is a Lambo-tuned version of a powertrain
also found in the Cayenne, Porsche Panamera, and Bentley
Continental V8.
Before Lamborghini revealed the Urus properly in
2017, its engine was the biggest point of speculation. The
company toyed with slotting in the 5.2-liter naturally
aspirated V-10 from the Gallardo and later Huracán, but
that fell to the wayside early in development in favor of the
easier-to-package V-8. It might have an uncharacteristic
cylinder count for a Lamborghini, but with 641 hp and 627
lb-ft, the engine outmuscles every version of the Huracán.
Where the LM002 suffered from awful ergonomics,
the Urus benefited from Audi and VW Group’s steward-
ship of the marque. Stuffed between Alcantara surfaces
and gleaming chrome “Lamborghini” dash script, Audi
switchgear makes daily-driving this SUV as simple as lop-
ing around town in a new Q8. All the infotainment guts,
knobs, switches, and steering wheel buttons are adapted
from Audi, with the exception of the odd cluster of blocky
drive controls mounted on the center console. The pri-
mary transmission shifter is a massive flat lever; the rest
of the assorted knobs and toggles deal with the six drive
modes and various drivetrain options.
