Lamborghini Urus SUV concept (2012) leaks early

Updated: 26 January 2015

Lamborghini’s SUV show car, the Urus 4×4 concept, has leaked early ahead of its planned debut at the 2012 Beijing auto show this weekend.

These leaked photos of the Lamborghini Urus reveal a swooping, coupe-alike crossover – marrying the style of a Lamborghini Reventon or supercar with the stance of an SUV.

Lamborghini Urus: the leaked images

We’d been expecting a sleek crossover, especially since yesterday’s media invitation revealed an outline sketch of the Urus.

But now we can see a high-riding, low-roof crossover complete with four doors. It’s the most practical Lambo since the 1980s LM002.

Lamborghini has retained its sense of adventure, though, with a retina-grabbing orange paint job and dramatic bodywork – just check out how the rear wheelarch swells and ripples thought the back door.

What else do we know about the Lambo Urus SUV?

Not a huge amount as yet. These slightly grainy scans of the Urus are circulating online, but for the full story on the Urus 4×4, you’ll have to return to CAR Online on Sunday 22 April 2012.

We’ll have the full set of official photos and the full technical story on the Lambo crossover this weekend.
