Despite being the spiritual successor to the LM 002, the Urus arrives 25 years after the demise of the original Lamborghini super-SUV. It's the dawn of a new supercar era, and this new breed of fighting bull is ready to go. A 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and MLB Evo platform shared with the Audi RS Q8, Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe, and Bentley Bentayga are the core components of the newest Rambo Lambo, with 641 horsepower on tap capable of propelling it from 0-62 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Now, the Urus has come along to revive the spirit of the LM 002 for the 21st century, arriving at a time when the SUV revolution is in full swing. But the LM 002 was ahead of its time, and while it enjoyed some success, it was hardly the mass-market savior of the Lamborghini brand. At the time, the LM 002 was originally conceived as a military vehicle, but with an outrageous V12 from the Countach loaded under the hood, it quickly became sought after by sheiks and civilians alike, and could be outfitted in any number of opulent appointments you wanted. If only they'd had the foresight to build one of these super-SUVs 30 years ago - Lamborghini did. With the growing popularity of the SUV, every luxury manufacturer from Aston Martin to Rolls-Royce has clamored to get one of their own on the market.
