V8 or V10 to power the Urus? Early reports wanted the production version to be equipped with the Gallardo’s V10, but Lamborghini’s director of Research and Development expressed a different opinion. Speaking to Automotive News, Maurizio Reggiani called the option of a V8 for the production version of the Urus an “interesting possibility.” “Such a car needs large reserves of torque from low rather than high peak power. In addition, its smaller dimensions compared to a V10 allow it to be placed behind the front axle and thus improve weight distribution,” Reggiani commented.
If something like this is implemented, then the dominant choice is Audi’s 4.2 FSI, which equips the RS5 Coupe, among others. For Lamborghini’s performance SUV, however, it will be upgraded to deliver much more than 450 PS, getting closer to the Italian company’s 600 PS target. This power combined with keeping the weight below 2,000 kg will give the Urus unique performance for a vehicle in its class.
