I am not so sure. Urus is based on the MLB platform, same as Cayenne and Bentayga. The latter of which is quite capable offroad, well a modest one. So the Urus has the hardware to do it if required.

Who cares though, it's a crappy Subaru.

I'm sure whoever buys one of these probably has a Range Rover or equivalent to off road in, along with probably 10 other more appropriate cars. No idea why anyone would take a Lambo off road, even one pretending to be an SUV.

Except rich oil shieks who hit the sand dunes in things like this.

I think anybody that wants to bash their Urus around in the bush has little sense and far too much money, they could take up a far cheaper hobby, like snorting coke.

I think its more about Lambo having said we also have a SUV . Its a game played by all the marketing companys and supposedly it ends up enhancing the overall image of there client according to them.

I agree with everyone. This car doesn't suit what I want so it's awful and they shouldn't make it.

It probably is a nice ride however it is the marketing BS from Lambo that a number of people (including me) can not put up with.

If they said “look we’ve got a vehicle which is 4 doors + hatch, handles like it is on rails, goes like stink, has great brakes, seats 4 + luggage, craps on 99.9% of sports cars, can roll over most speed humps, if you’re an A grade soccer player, drug dealer or just very rich then this is your Lambo... ”
Then they’d be on the right track!

Instead Lambo is trying to convince people the Ur-Anus is a viable off-road vehicle. The thing wouldn’t last 100km along some outback roads, mostly because it’s tyres would be shredded and shocks destroyed. There is a reason you don’t see Cayennes or Range Rovers off-road - but Lambo seems to be oblivious to the obvious.

They should sack their marketing team and remove the YouTube clips - start again. Oh and rename the thing, no one wants to be driving an Anus.

Pretty sure that RR and LR have a good offroad capability.

What a beast. Would like to see one on the road, and even better - off road. Imagine seein that out the back of jenolan on the cowmung fire trail . Awesome.

The people that can afford these couldn’t give a toss about its off-road capabilities. If they want it they’ll buy it and it will be loose change. Have a look at what some of the worlds richest spend on food and wine entertaining for an evening, it would have paid for my FPV. I watched a show last week where a guy gave a mod shop a Bentley Continental because he wanted it transformed into an off-road weapon. The mind just boggles at some of the money out there.
