As the reception to Bentley's recent EXP 9F proved, making a good-looking SUV is a tricky proposition, but Lamborghini brought the show to its knees with the stunning Urus SUV concept. We spoke with the car's chief designer Filippo Perini, who all but confirmed this will make production in 2015.
"This is very close to the finished product. The exterior is real but the interior is more like a concept. We wanted to show what we can do with carbon," Perini said. Lamborghini is staying quiet about the engine, but did say it will have more than 600 horsepower -- our hunch is a development of the Gallardo's V-10, but a V-8 is also a distinct possibility. An adjustable ride height will give it off-road ability, and the goal is to build around 3000 copies a year -- more than doubling Lamborghini's current output in one fell swoop.
