Lamborghini boasts that the Urus is the SUV with the best power-to-weight ratio in the market segment. As a result, the performance level of the super sport utility vehicle powered by a V8 biturbo engine with 650 hp output is unrivaled.
25 percent lighter
Lamborghini now wants to prove this on the race track. The Lamborghini Squadra Corse racing department has developed the Urus ST-X Concept as a vision for a model to be used in racing from 2020. This is to be used to launch a unique one-make cup in two years' time.
Modified with special components, the racing SUV will weigh 25 percent less than the production model, i.e. less than 1650 kilograms. The Urus ST-X will be prepared and deployed centrally. In line with the motto "arrive and drive", customers will be offered a complete package.
Combined race tracks as in rallycross
The races are held in Europe and the Middle East on specially prepared racetracks with a proportion of gravel and asphalt and FIA homologation. Something similar is familiar from rallycross.
