Lamborghini Confirms New SUV Will Finally Go On Sale In 2018

Lamborghini has announced it will make its long-promised premium SUV, with the production version set to go on sale in 2018.

The new model will be built in Italy, at the Lamborghini factory at the company’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Reports had suggested that the Italian government had granted Lamborghini a number of ‘tax breaks and other benefits’ to ensure that a new domestic facility was opened in Italy. Lamborghini has since confirmed that the deal was made possible thanks to assistance from the likes of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and Invitalia - the Italian national agency for inward investments and economic development.

It looks like a less-good looking version of Jaguar's SUV, that will proabably be 2/3 less expensive. Jaguar's SUV is very handsome and will sell at the right price point.

Its possible that this Urus (is the name a truncated iternation of the planet "Uranus"?) will not even achieve the infinitesimal sales of the old Rambo-esque LM-002's from the 1980's.

However, VW will be happy - they can cite in an internal powerpoint slide that the Q7 "tooling" can be amortized across another platform.
