At launch in 2018 The Urus is a savior model for Lamborghini. Limiting itself to large sports coupes (Aventador, Huracan), the brand should eventually enter the category of crossovers, and good ones. Because among competitors, this fashion is starting to gain importance. In 2016, Maserati made the leap first with the Levante. It is followed by a Bentley with a Bentayga. Expectation Rolls-Royce (Cullinan), Then later Aston Martin (DBX) and Ferrari (Purosangue) That’s why Lamborghini presents its own interpretation ” luxury sports crossover with Urus. A good bet because today the chicken with the golden eggs of the Italian brand. Now it represents six out of ten sales for a brand that delivered 9,233 vehicles in 2022 10% more than last year ! How to explain his success?

The first Lamborghini crossover

Despite this body builder which won’t appeal to everyone, the Urus is a pure Lamborghini product. Already in its lines, the brand has worked on its individuality. The same characteristic features, the same geometric shapes, identical conical spotlights than on sports coupes. But also the same attitude towards sportiness and performance! He carries a V8 gasoline engine with a twin turbo with a capacity of 666 horsepower. Its maximum speed can reach 306 km/h. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.3 seconds the Performance version. Compared to the “base” Urus S, these are the advantages of a lowered and extended chassisand a pneumatic suspension. Therefore, the Urus has nothing to envy its siblings. If not the weight, the crossover obliges, and it is more than two tons! It was without calculation the German manufacturer Mansory, which decided to do this to change it in depth.

Mansory Venatus: redesigned Urus

Known for his very original reinterpretations (too many?), Mansory presents here a model with an extremely divergent design. Now shown a golden body“Mansory Venatus,” since that is its name, is a Urus is ugly. Starting with his prominent 24-inch rims which are now filled. The diffuser, bumpers, side sills and fenders were changed the result is quite disturbing. You gotta love the tinsel, the glitter and the sparkle…

The German “sorcerers” also took care of the technical part. Now the engine power reaches 900 horsepower and 1100 Nm of torque. ! The maximum speed changes to 323 km/h, Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. Not sure that this design will appeal to everyone, but in any case, Mansory creations are not for everyone. Must have great ways to modify a bodybuilder model ! Pricing for the Venatus has yet to be announced, nor even the number of units that will be released in the coming months.
