Lamborghini Urus Production Version will ride on the PL73 platform

Some new details about the Lamborghini Urus production version finally have been revealed by Maurizio Reggiani who is the company’s research and development division. Based on what has been stated by an online automotive magazine, Automotive News, Reggiani stated that the company was planning that the production would be begun sooner than the beginning of 2017.

He added that the Lamborghini Urus would ride on the PL73 platform that would highlight the upcoming- generation Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, VW Toureg and Bentley’s EXP 9 F production model. The platform itself would be created of steel. With that material, the Urus is expected to have a total weight of 4,400 lbs or around 1,996 kg. The Urus that will come in the form of crossover model will be most likely to make use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic seat shells and an aluminum- magnesium hood, tailgate and doors.

Although the company has not officially confirmed about the production stage of the Urus yet, Reggiani stated that the model is possible to make use of a twin- turbo V8. Again, there is no official sentence on its mechanical details. However, some report suggested that the Urus might be empowered by the Audi’s 4.2 liter V8 that is good for delivering a total output of nearly 600 horses or 447 kW that equal to 608 PS. If nothing happens and everything goes as it is planned by the company, the Urus will be produced in 3,000 units crossover per year. Although the final assembly and customization of the Lamborghini Urus will be held in the company’s Sant’ Agata Bolognese plant, all of productions process may not be taken there.

So far, that’s all we need to tell you about the Urus. Official announcement about the production may be announced soon and we will make you update immediately with any further information revealed. Feel free to check out the pictures attached on the gallery below.
