On this week's podcast, you are joined by Mandy Turner, Kez Casey, and James Wong. We speak to Josh Dowling about the Ford Mustang EV SUV and the Tesla ute at the Los Angeles motor show. He also talks in more detail about his trip with a team replacing recalled Takata airbags in remote areas...
Lamborghini’s motorsport division, Lamborghini Squadra Corse, has released more details about the racing debut of its Urus ST-X. The first race, designed specifically for the ST-X, is scheduled for the 2020 World Finals in Misano Adriatico. Winners of the four classes of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo will be given the opportunity to challenge famous motorcycle and race car drivers on a “special track”...
Lamborghini has recalled the 2019 Urus, over concerns about missing labels on the sun visors. According to Lamborghini, the car's sun visor doesn't have the required labelling advising consumers not to install rear-facing child seats in the front seat. The owner's manual also doesn't feature reference to the label, meaning it doesn't meet ADR 73/00 regulations in Australia...
The Urus is already one of the fastest SUVs ever, but Lamborghini isn't resting on its laurels, allegedly. Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman recently took to his Instagram (see bottom), saying he's had word from a "well placed source" that Lamborghini is working on an even "higher performance version" of the Urus, though a name hasn't been confirmed...
Lamborghini Squadra Corse has unveiled the Urus ST-X, a concept ready for racing on- and off-road, as it prepares for a one-make race series in 2020. The hotted-up Urus will ply its trade around Europe and the Middle East in 2020, on specially-prepped circuits for 'driver-customers' who can just arrive and drive, without worrying about technical support or maintenance...
The 'super-SUV' segment is a relatively young one, but it's already getting crowded. Along with the Tesla Model X P100D, there's the new Lamborghini Urus, the recently-revealed Mercedes-AMG G63 and the Range Rover Sport SVR competing for (lots of) your dollars. To work out which is the quickest in a straight line, Mat Watson from Carwow pulled the aforementioned vehicles together for a drag race...
We usually wouldn't cover the launch of a low-end Chinese crossover, but the Huansu C60 Hyosow is a bit more interesting than your average SUV. It doesn't have a particularly exciting interior, and there's a conventional 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine under the bonnet, but there's one thing helping the C60 stand out. It looks exactly like the Lamborghini Urus...

Here are five reviews this month that either drew a lot of attention or are simply, in our view, standout stories. 2018 Volvo XC40 T5 R-Design review It's Volvo's first foray into the compact SUV segment and it's a cracker of a car...
The 2018 Lamborghini Urus is a monumental super-SUV, certainly in terms of engine capability. The Italian supercar manufacturer promised it would build the world's fastest petrol-powered SUV, and it has. Let's take a glance then, at some of the numbers. The 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 engine pumps out 478kW and 850Nm, staggering numbers for something other than a high-performance sports car...
The Lamborghini Urus is a straight-up game changer. Not only is it the first-ever super sport utility vehicle, it also enters the market as the fastest SUV with an internal-combustion engine. Under its arrow-head-edged bonnet lies a mighty 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (each of the turbos are also twin-scroll units) making 485kW of power and 850Nm of torque, sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission...
More than five-and-a-half years has passed since Italy's most outrageous supercar manufacturer, Lamborghini, presented its striking SUV concept, the Urus (pronounced Ooo-rus). The production version (still called Urus) had its Australian reveal this week, and true to form, it looks almost as good as the original concept. Frankly, we'd be worried if it didn't...
