Lamborghini Urus
Any fan of Lamborghini in the house? Seems the inclusion effect of turbochargers in cars is coming up faster than i thought, this is so because renowned Italian automakers Lamborghini has issued a statement saying about their first car that would be built with a turbo charger, its called he Lamborghini Urus SUV more from car and driver.
Lamborghini’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann has been outspoken in the past about his distaste for downsizing engines, turbochargers, and hybrid power trains. That’s why the Aventador and the Huracán have remained blissfully naturally aspirated and use technology like auto stop-start and cylinder deactivation to help the small manufacturer meet emissions targets.
But soon Lamborghini will double the size of its factory, hiring 500 people, and
start to build an SUV, the Urus. That means that they’ll be selling far more cars than ever before, and flying under the emissions radar will no longer be possible. They need to do something on a grander scale than just cylinder deactivation.
Seems everyone is beginning to take to turbo charging as a means of enhancing emission control as an alternative for going electric lets hear more from the ceo
That something will be turbocharging or hybrid technology. “The SUV could certainly be one of the opportunities to have a turbocharged engine,” Winkelmann told us. “For the sports cars today, we tend to say there is no engine better than a naturally aspirated.”
Winkelmann also said that while the Urus will be used mainly on-road, they will have a balance that will allow it to work on steep inclines and for light off-roading.
Thumbs up to Lamborghini lets hope the new Urus lives up to this high expectation in terms of performance.
