How does it feel to drive a Super Sport Utility Vehicle like the Lamborghini Urus on Singapore roads? P.S. With a family in tow...
When the Lamborghini Urus was launched in 2007, there was much ado about the car. It was, after all, the first Super Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) by the Italian supercar marque.
"The Lamborghini Urus is a visionary approach based on the infusion of Lamborghini DNA into the most versatile vehicle, the SUV. The Urus elevates the SUV to a level not previously possible, the Super SUV. It is a true Lamborghini in terms of design, performance, driving dynamics and emotion as well as drivable every day in a range of environments," says Stefano Domenicali, Automobili Lamborghini chairman and chief executive officer.
It was honestly quite hard to imagine what the Urus would be like. What Domenicali seemed to insinuate is that the Urus, in layman's terms, would be a super-fast, ultra-powerful SUV. Was that possible?
When I read our motoring correspondent, Andre Lam's review in 2018, it piqued my curiosity even more. I'm an SUV fan myself, preferring to drive a bigger, higher and more powerful road-going vehicle with off-road features. As soon as I saw the video (above), I told myself I needed to take the Urus out for a spin, so you can imagine the joy and exhilaration I experienced when the local Lamborghini office contacted me to say that there was a unit available for a test drive.
