A drag race between four of the world's fastest SUVs has been conducted by carwow.com, and the results may surprise you. Taking place over a quarter mile stretch of runway in the UK, the race included a Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Bentley Bentayga, and Audi RSQ8. All four brands are part of the giant Volkswagen Group, and share much of their underpinnings and mechanicals...
The phenomenal global growth in SUV sales has passed another significant milestone – thanks to a supercar company many thought would never build such a vehicle. Iconic Italian car maker Lamborghini has built its 10,000th Urus SUV. The landmark vehicle was ordered by a Russian customer and painted Nero Noctis matte black...
Texas tuning firm Hennessey has put the world’s fastest SUVs – the Lamborghini Urus and Jeep Trackhawk – in a head-to-head drag race. Both vehicles are in showroom standard condition and were tested before they were due to receive a power upgrade. On paper, there’s nothing between the two. The Lamborghini Urus has a claimed 0 to 100kmh time of 3...
They say imitation is the ultimate form of flattery, though we're not sure what Italian supercar makers Ferrari and Lamborghini would make of this lot. Japanese bodykit company Albermo has transformed the new Toyota RAV4 into a pretend Lamborghini Urus, and the current generation Toyota Prius into a Ferrari of some kind...
Fancy yourself a car enthusiast? While being an enthusiastic car owner and a good driver are both part of your overall street cred, a lot of it comes down to being able to talk the torque. And where many of us can come undone when showing off our automotive prowess is butchering the pronunciation of brand or model names as badly as Kim from Kath & Kim used to pronounce 'chardonnay' (she said 'kar-don-aye', for the record)...

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...
