Lamborghini Urus
car model
The Lamborghini Urus is a high performance luxury SUV manufactured by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was introduced in December 2017 as a 2018 model year production vehicle. The Urus is the first Lamborghini SUV and five-door vehicle under Volkswagen's ownership, and the second SUV in its history after the LM002, produced between 1986 and 1993.
Built on the Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform, the Urus shares many components with other Volkswagen luxury SUVs, such as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg. With a top speed of 312 km/h (194 mph), the Urus SE is the fastest production SUV in the world.
The model's nameplate derives from urus, the ancestor of modern domestic cattle, also known as the aurochs. The Latin word urus was used for 'wild ox' from the Gallic Wars onwards.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lamborghini Urus”, the useful work is to connect “car model” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3077088. None of the 8 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2018, 1986 and 1993.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
