Lamborghini Urus

Now, i'm back with another Italian car.  It's a red Lamborghini Urus.  I got it last year, in a small toy store.  There's many of it.  It's look like the HW Collector is not into it.  But, i couldn't resist it, because it's a lambo.  :)

Lamborghini Urus made the debut at Hot Wheels as a part of 2015 HW City - Street Power.

Origin

Lamborghini Urus got its name from an extinct type of large wild cattle that inhabited Europe, Asia and North Africa.  The aurochs (/ˈɔːrɒks/ or /ˈaʊrɒks/; pl. aurochs, or rarely aurochsen, aurochses), also urus, ure (Bos primigenius), is the ancestor of domestic cattle. The species survived in Europe until the last recorded aurochs died in the Jaktorów Forest, Poland in 1627.

The appearance of the aurochs has been reconstructed from skeletal material, historical descriptions and contemporaneous depictions, such as cave paintings, engravings or Sigismund von Herberstein’s illustration. The work by Charles Hamilton Smith is a copy of a painting owned by a merchant in Augsburg, which may date to the 16th century. Scholars have proposed that Smith's illustration was based on a cattle/aurochs hybrid, or an aurochs-like breed.  The aurochs was depicted in prehistoric cave paintings and described in Julius Caesar's The Gallic War, Book 6, Ch. 28.

The aurochs was one of the largest herbivores in postglacial Europe, comparable to the wisent, the European bison.  The body mass of aurochs appears to have shown some variability. Some individuals were comparable in weight to the wisent and the banteng, reaching around 700 kg (1,500 lb), whereas those from the late-middle Pleistocene are estimated to have weighed up to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb), as much as the largest gaur (the largest extant bovid).

 

Real Life

The Lamborghini Urus is a concept SUV designed by Lamborghini unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show on 23 April 2012.  Lamborghini had trademarked the name "Urus" before the introduction of the Lamborghini Estoque at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and automotive news blogs Jalopnik and Autoblog believed that the name would be applied to what was eventually found to be the Estoque.  The Lamborghini Urus SUV concept would be much lighter at about 100 kg (220 lb) than some other SUVs because of extensive usage of carbon fiber, although it is based on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Bentley EXP 9 F, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.  

The Urus Super SUV will feature a 584 bhp (435 kW; 592 PS) turbocharged 5.2 liter V10 engine by Audi that includes an electric motor with plug-in capability. The Urus has a front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout. The Urus is approximately 16 feet (4.9 m) long, but only about 5.5 feet (1.7 m) high.  Top Speed Of 205 mph (328 kph).  The Urus seats four people.

Lamborghini is moving ahead with plans to put its ludicrous Urus SUV into production.  That date is 2017, according to Bloomberg.

In The Movie

The Urus is only appears in a TV Series Documentary : Jay Leno Garage => http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2059823/

Hopefully, we can see it in a movie.  Urus is a combination of speed and power.  :)
