What engine does the Lamborghini Urus have?

Lamborghini Urus Performance specs

Of course, you want to know more about the Lamborghini Urus beyond its release date and release details. You want to know what’s under the hood, you want to know the Lamborghini Urus performance specs, and you want to know how fast this SSUV actually is.

Does the Urus borrow its engine from another Lamborghini model?

Since the Urus was officially announced years ago, there has been a lot of speculation, mostly surrounding what will sit under the hood. Many speculated that it would simply get the V10 engine from the Huracan, but that isn’t really Lamborghini’s style

When Lamborghini builds a vehicle, they really build it. They don’t hammer out a body, go to the parts bin, and just stuff in whatever works. Take the Aventador and the Huracan for example. Though their engines do have some similarities, they are almost entirely different. The Huracan is a V10 and the Aventador is a V12, and that’s just for starters.

Therefore, it would only stand to reason, that if Lamborghini was going to do the Urus right, it would get its own engine, and that’s exactly what has happened. When the Urus comes out early 2018, it will have a unique engine under the hood that you can’t currently find in any other Lamborghini model.

This is especially impressive considering the Urus weighs in at only 4,850 pounds, making it exceptionally light for its size.
