Lambo Urus-FX70 killer

http://www.carsuk.net/lamborghini-urus-the-fx70-killer/

Lamborghini has been long on new models – for a high-end supercar maker – but short on new cars for quite some time. Sure, we’ve had evolutions of the Gallardo in to the LP560 and the Murcielago in to the LP640 and it’s siblings. And Lamborghini have been milking ‘Specials’ for all they’re worth, with cars like the Reventon Coupe and Reventon Roadster (which Cars UK exclusively revealed in March) - desirable though they may be – being just inflated version of a standard car. Let’s face it, the LP670-4 SV - which is in itself a Limited Edition Murcielago – offers more performance and drama for a third of the price of the Reventon.

But things are going to start changing at Lamborghini as the Murcielago makes way for the all-new Jota in the next year. The Jota will get a carbon fibre chassis with carbon fibre and aluminium body and be a bit longer than the Murci (as long as it’s not wider – the Murci is a pig in traffic). It will get an all-new 6.0 litre V12 with direct injection which should be good for over 700bhp.

This information has been around for a while, and although the details may not be exact we’re pretty sure they’re very close. But now a source close to Lamborghini is telling us that there will be a car above the new Jota – the Lamborghini Urus. Now you may remember that the Lamborghini Estoque was initially expected to be known as the Urus. But it wasn’t, so we’d sort of forgotton about the Urus monicker. But our sources are telling us that the Urus is very much alive and well and buried in the heart of Lambo’s development plans.

It would appear that Lamborghini are planning on making the Urus a Ferrari FX70 beater (the FX70 is Ferrari’s new Enzo). Based on a modified Jota chassis, the Urus will have every component re-worked to make it as light and dynamic as possible. It will feature a full carbon fibre body and have active aerodynamics. The re-worked Jota V12 is expected to get very close to 800bhp, which will give the Urus a sub 3.0 second 0-60mph – Veyron territory.

But we’ll probably not see the Urus until at least 2011, and it probably won’t hit the roads until 2012, although the Jota is likely to arrive late in 2010.

Quote:
Lamborghini isn't one of those automakers that needs to readily respond to some ephemeral new niche created by a competitor. But as a company founded to compete against Ferrari, their rivalry is the stuff that automotive legends are often made of.

Cars UK is reporting that Lamborghini is developing a new model called the Urus to compete with Ferrari's next Enzo (the Ferrari FX70 beater). This model will be separate from the Murcielago replacement known as the Jota, and will be slotted below the Urus. So two new models are in development here, just to keep things clear.

According to a Cars UK source, the Urus will have a modified version of the Jota chassis, which is made out of carbon fiber. As opposed to the Jota, which has a body composed of both aluminum and carbon fiber parts, the Urus's body will be made solely out of carbon fiber and will come with active aerodynamics.

The Urus will share the same 6.0 liter V12 engine with the Jota, only the Urus will get it worked up to close to 800 hp, while the Jota will have to settle for about 700 hp. This will mean the Urus will likely crack the 3.0 second mark in the 0 to 100 km/h sprint time.

The Jota is expected to make its debut sometime next year (2010). The Urus will only come later, probably in 2011 and only making it to dealer pavement by 2012.

 

Urus looks like a car from a ****ty PS3 game.

 

A melted Gallardo with an Eclipse mid section.

 

Or it could be an illustration done by a guy named Sergio? Just a guess. I'd be willing to bet money that it will NOT look like that from Lamborghini.

 

Of course that will not be the final product but i like that look.

Squashed Audi TT if you ask me... but that picture has nothing to do with the next Lamborghini. Carsuk.net just needed a picture to go with the er... non-story. Here's the origin of that picture:

Looking forward to the final design!

 

Yuck!

 

Whoa, that reminds me of the Cala, we shall wait to see what Lamborghini brings out in the flesh and not a "drawing"

 

Dear Lamborghinisti,

Ohhh boy !

.....that sure is ugly.

Well, at least it's as ugly as an Enzo.

Yep, my VT Roadster just keeps getting better and better looking.

....as if it could any better looking.

Mirror Mirror on the wall...."who is the bling bling of them all? "

....why it's you Shamile....as long as you keep making the panties fall.




Shamile

Freeze...Miami Vice !

 

Booooring...

 

ROFLMAO HAHAHAH

Just as long as the doors goes up, you'll be fine

Dear Lamborghinisti,

no...no...boasting on my part. Roy has us all beat!

It is funny though, the Lambo really does do something with women....they really love the car.

I went to a cool Halloween party at PDISME's place in Tampa and had butt cheek prints all over the front of my VT Roadster's hood. My date (Ms. Florida 08) was really pissed.

.....especially when I yelled "crotch shot" to one of the girls on the hood ( she complied )

.....ah, it is cool to own a Lamborghini !

Freeze...Miami Vice !

 

i guarantee it will not have those big fender flares. Its top speed would be seriously seriously diminished by those flares

 

Looks like a 06+Hyundai accent on steriods.

I'm sure if I was on LP still some idiot would have suspeneded my account for a week for saying that .

Anyways I'm not sold on this car nor even on the Jota, until Lamborghini steps up and delivers a car that will crush ferraris flagship supercar I'm just not all hyped up about it. The LP640, Revention and SV where all let downs for me, I was expecting an enzo killer and 3 times was disapointed

 

VOM 4 Sure.

 

So its going to be better than another car that we know nothing about? Solid reporting.

 

AMEN

 

Looks silly

They had better come to the game with something better than that! I am not sure they have what it takes to play in that arena.

 

They haven't had what it takes to play for along time now.

 

huh? have what? seems the cars have been selling fine considering...

and y'all keep trampling that pic that really has nothing to do with new cars in question...some dude's own redering...

 

you were expecting a 'regular' production LP640 to kill a limited ridiculous price Enzo? in what way? in drag racing? You were let down by the SV? that's faster than an Enzo in a strt line, and still not happy? given the Murci replacement, not the super dooper URUS (500-600K?), will prob be 350-450k, what, sir, would you like the car to be so you're not let down again? will you be happy if it does 60 in 2.5 sec over the 'F-70's 2.7?

I remember the press calling the LP640 an "Enzo killer"....

No...

No, $800K at the very least. I personally can't see the Urus selling out unless it's limited to 10-20 units. Plus, if I paid $1.5M for an LP640 with a bodykit I would be pretty pissed if Lamborghini released a far superior car for $700K less...
