    I guess he can kiss his warranty, at least regarding his brake system, good-bye. 

    I would also be worried that due to excessive heat-buildup, there could even be a fire hazard risk.

    I can understand that he does not know cars at all.

    But why will a wheel company release a product like this?cheeky

    It’s almost as if Volkswagen Group might understand how to market vehicles and its potential customer base.

    SUVs are on hype, look no further than the RR Cullinan. this is also selling very well. The Bentayga is also successful.

    All these very expensive SUVs are wealth symbol and people want to be differentiated from others and I expect no other result for the coming Ferrari SUV. Families will queue like never before to get one Ferrari. The cliche with the old man and the blond will swap to the old man, the blond and the kids Smiley

    Last year, I met a guy who owns a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk...and a Urus. Makes sense? I don't know but he owns a couple of hotels in Garmisch Partenkirchen, so he certainly can afford it (not so sure right now though Smiley).

    He told me that he uses the Urus when it is dry and nice outside and the Trackhawk when it is bad weather or when he just needs a daily mover.

    I drove the Urus on several occasions, had it even for a weekend and tried it with the family, it is the best and sportiest SUV I ever drove. Wonderful product, amazing how they gave this Audi/Porsche some Lamborghini DNA, it feels and drives like a Lamborghini and this may another reason people love it. 

    The sound is also great (but not too aggressive), the interior is just beautiful and a pleasure to look at and the drive is amazing, on the Autobahn, at over 250 kph, it feels like driving on rails, rock solid and the performance is just fantastic.

    I would have gotten this SUV in a heartbeat but it is way too expensive for me, the lease rates (business lease) are insane and my tax advisor would very likely say no friggin waySmiley Smiley

    only issue is the torque converter gearbox. I think it is dumb to have such poor tech in 2020. double clutch is the one to install everywhere. other than that, this is how a SUV should be.

    I am looking to get one at some point though Smiley

    I like the MCT in my GLC63 S a lot but to really enjoy it, you have to drive in Sport+ oder Race mode all the time and fuel consumption goes through the roof. Smiley

    I didn't notice any issues with the Urus automatic tranny and I actually think it suits the car pretty well but of course, with a proper DCT gearbox, the Urus would be much faster.

    Speaking of DCT: Lamborghini should take care of the Aventador first, the current gearbox is a disgrace for such a fantastic car. Weight and gearbox, if Lamborghini improves these two things on the next generation, the Aventador will be a beast.

    If the Urus is marketed as a SUV with serious off-road capabilities, then the DCTs are supposed to overheat under continuous off-road manoeuvring. Same with the Cayenne that is offered with the Tiptronic gearbox.

    On the matter of Urus, from what I know Urus is based the Q8. Audi could have offered this car in their own, much prettier body, under their RS range. They donated their car to Lamborghini in order to add some needed volume to Lambo's sales and to their subsidiary's  profitability. Apparently, with just 3.000 Huracans and few Aventadors the business couldn't be  viable.

    Much prettier body? I think the Urus is the best looking SUV on the market but it is very color and rim design sensitive.

    To understand the Urus, you need to drive one first. It is really a Lamborghini SUV, not what Porsche did with the Cayenne (with the exception of the n/a GTS models maybe).

    Good you remind me this and that may explain why the Urus is using this type of tech. Definitely the Aventador will have to fix this embarassing gearbox Smiley

    only reason advertised by PAG was the towing capacity...which sounds a bit BS to me but hey Smiley

    RS Q8 is there. SUV platform was given from Audi to all the brands as Audi is leading the SUV development. the issue now is Audi priced the RS Q8 very high to not shame Lambo Smiley

    None of the current Audi RS are engaging to drive.

    I think that the Urus is weird looking. I've seen some in bright colours and one in black and I cannot say I was very impressed by the "elevated supersports" looks. I know it is a matter of taste. I consider the R8 as the prettiest SUV on sale and the Cayenne one of the dullest Smiley..

    To understand the Urus, you need to drive one first. It is really a Lamborghini SUV, not what Porsche did with the Cayenne (with the exception of the n/a GTS models maybe).

    The people who fine-tuned the VW platform and the Audi V8 to create the Urus are VW-Audi employees and they could have done the same  for any VW brand, if they were asked. Audi chose to give some financial injection  into Lamborghini by adding this successful SUV..

    Re: Urus (SUV)

    Porsche employees are VW Group employees as well. So are Audi or Lamborghini employees. Smiley

    Or if we take it one step further, all of them are working for the...Porsche family. Smiley

    You'd be surprised to learn how much autonomy Lamborghini has in the VW Group family, probably because they were so successful so far...or maybe because they know how proud Italians working at Lamborghini Italy are of their brand and that they wouldn't accept it to be watered down by some Germans. Smiley Smiley Perfection can be boring, I said it before (see the 911). 

    Lamborghini sold over 15000 Huracan so far, so I'm not so sure they weren't able to live from sports cars only. 

    The Urus of course was like a money printing machine to them but saying that Audi built the Urus for them is not true. On the contrary, Audi learned a lot from the Urus for their own RS Q8.

    Re: Urus (SUV)

    Huracan is a very accomplished supersports.. I was also a great fan of the Gallardo styling. The Huracan is much prettier than the current Ferrari, especially in white colour.Smiley

    Lamborghini sell an average of 3.000 sportscars per year. Is this adequate for sustained viability? Unlikely, but this is theoretical question since the appearance of the Urus moneymaker.

    I hope Lamborghini bring a new 2+2 GT car with a choice of V8, V10 and V12 front engines. A modern day Espada built on the Panamera platform.

    IF Piech were still in control then yes, that it would have totally been an Audi. Heck, Lambo might not even get the Urus if he gets his way.

    BUT, he is no longer there and have no say, and Audi has lost it's protector.

    I never really understood Piech, he was really a car guy, he picked up his Carrera GT in Leipzig personally and drove it back all the way to Austria. His wife was also a real Ferrari nut with a small collection of these Italian racers, I wonder why Piech never tried to buy Ferrari. Smiley Smiley

    I guess he got p.ss.d with the Porsche family and wanted to prove what he is capable of with VW instead. Smiley

    I wish he would have taken over Lamborghini instead. Smiley

    Lamborghini came way too late for him to focus on that brand. He did buy Lamborghini, and tuck it under HIS baby, Audi.

    The whole problem is that he doesn't have a Porsche last name. He left and went to take over Audi. then onwards to head of VAG. in a way, he was trying to prove to the Porsche clan that he is equal if not better even without the last name. His rise within VAG is all due to his work at Audi. 

    Doesn't help that he isn't the nicest family member, I mean, having an affair with your cousin's wife? Who DOES that!?!?!

    At the end of the day, he is a brilliant engineer and a true car guy. But questionable at best as a leader, or making business decisions.
