Lamborghini Teases a Little too Much and Urus Comes Early

The Lamborghini Urus SUV will make its debut on December 4th, but the Italian automaker has already ruined the surprise.

Lamborghini has been slowly letting photos and video of its first modern-day SUV trickle out to the press and to fans on its social media pages. The latest teaser video, which was meant to show off the Urus’ ‘Corsa’ mode (that’s track mode to us English speakers) showed the vehicle in full in an animation on its infotainment screen. A Lamborghini employee noticed the error and quickly removed the video, but this is the internet, so it goes without saying that someone had already downloaded and re-uploaded it to their own personal channel.

According to Autocar, this footage also shows the Urus’ 48V active anti-roll system at work. The system, which is also featured in the Bentley Bentayga, applies force to the suspension to counteract its lean through corners when traveling at high speeds. This allows the vehicle to corner more flatly without having to tune in extra-stiff suspension and throw away comfort. As we already knew, the vehicle will come with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which should be making somewhere around 650 hp. The Urus is expected to be priced at around $200,000.

Stay tuned for more info following the Urus debut early next month.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Event Report: Southern Worthersee 2015

There’s been much ado about this year’s SoWo since this past Saturday night, when Instagram, Facebook and other Social Media channels exploded with images and commentary focusing on the event’s bad eggs.  But first, let’s chat a bit about the event itself. Our journey started early Thursday morning as part of the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to the event.  What should have taken about 12-13 hours ended up taking much more, as we stopped to help any Volkswagen that needed our assistance.  And while the extended commute time wasn’t ideal, it proved to highlight the ‘no person left behind’ spirit of the Volkswagen community- arguably one of the scene’s best qualities. On Friday and Saturday, the town was flooded with enthusiasts, making this year’s event without a doubt the largest yet.  Attendees came from as far as California, Mexico City, and event a few straight from the original Wörthersee in Austria, and for most it was well worth the trip.  The quality o...
