The Lamborghini Urus SUV Will Debut December 4

Lamborghini has announced its new Urus SUV will debut at its Sant’Agata headquarters on December 4.

The Urus is expected to make around 650 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged V8 – likely VW Group’s new 4.0-liter mill. It will be based on a lightened version of the automaker’s MLB architecture, which is also used in the Bentley Bentayga and the Audi Q7. Lamborghini is calling the Urus a “Super Sport Utility Vehicle,” so it’s assumed it will be the most performance-focused and fastest crossover-SUV-thing on the market when it launches later this year.

The Urus has been photographed and caught on video on numerous occasions, with the most recent spy photos making it clear what the SUV will look like. It takes on a coupe shape with a rearward sloping roofline, a high beltline and narrow windows, while typical Lamborghini-look creases make an appearance on the hood and sides. Altogether, we’d say it looks very similar to the Urus Concept.

Lamborghini will make around 1,000 Urus SUVs in its first model year, but will ramp up production to a planned maximum of around 3,500 units a year – equivalent to Lamborghini’s current annual production. We may know more about the production Urus as its December debut date approaches.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
