Driving Lamborghini’s Growth and Global Recognition

The Urus has received numerous prestigious awards and has become a symbol of the brand’s “Unlock any Road” philosophy, excelling on everything from the highest mountain roads to the most challenging off-road trails. Collectively, Urus vehicles worldwide have covered more than 360 million kilometers.
CEO Stefan Winkelmann on the Urus Phenomenon
Commenting on this achievement, Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, stated: “From the moment we unveiled the Urus concept at the Beijing Auto Show in 2012 to its market launch in 2018, the Urus has consistently proven to be an instant and lasting success. It represents a true Lamborghini, rooted in our longstanding sports heritage and inspired by the LM 002, the world’s first super SUV. The Urus perfectly complements our range of super sports cars, offering a luxurious, high-performance driving experience for those who share our authentic Italian brand values.”

Ad Personam Customization: Expressing Personality Through Color
The most popular exterior colors for the Lamborghini Urus, as selected through the Ad Personam customization program, include Grigio Telesto (grey), Blu Cepheus (blue), and Viola Pasifae (purple).

Factory Expansion, Innovative Manufacturing, and Sustainability
The arrival of the Urus led to significant growth at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters, with factory space expanding from 80,000 to 160,000 square meters. The adoption of Manufacturing 4.0 brought innovative production technologies that support the assembly line workforce. To sustain the Urus project, more than 500 new full-time employees were hired between 2015 and 2018. In 2019, a dedicated paint shop for the Urus was inaugurated, and since 2020, the supply chain has become more sustainable by replacing truck transportation with trains, reducing CO2 emissions by 85%.
V8 Twin-Turbo Engine: The Heart of a True Super SUV

With a specific output of 162.7 hp/liter—one of the highest in its segment—and a best-in-class weight-to-power ratio of 3.38 kg/hp, the Urus combines all-wheel drive with four-wheel steering for exceptional performance.
