FearLess Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Two years ago, Lamborghini had officially opened its showroom floors in Cape Town. It was such a prestigious affair that even Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. CEO Stefano Domenicali was in attendance, along with the local CEO, Toby Venter. The event also marked the local debut of the world's first Super SUV, and the automaker's first offering into the segment, the Urus. As a Lambo fan from yesteryear, I was in awe to be in the presence of this beautiful beast on the showroom floor in Century City. Yet, it would be another 18 months before I would have the privilege of getting behind its wheel in the refreshed model launched in SA earlier in March. And if you perhaps don't know, Lamborghini says the name is derived from the anchor of the Zodiac, Taurus, the god of the bulls. Urus is just a contraction thereof. Lamborghini said at the time of its Urus debut: "The Urus is a visionary approach based on the infusion of the Lamborghini DNA into a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). But let's put that size in perspective for a moment. The Urus has a curb weight of just less than 2200kg, yet it has a sprint time from zero to 100km/h in only 3.6 seconds. That's a whole lot faster than some people would manage to pronounce Lamborghini Urus correctly. And, it goes to 200km/h in only 12.8 seconds, it also has a claimed top speed of 305km/h.
