Lamborghinis New Urus Smashes Pikes Peak Record!

                     Lamborghini’s New Urus Smashed The Pikes Peak Record!

  The Raging Bull announced on Wednesday that an upcoming variant of its most popular model recently set the Pikes Peak record for a production SUV.    The sporty crossover completed the hill climb in 10:32.064, beating the previous mark by nearly 18 seconds!

  Behind the wheel was Pirelli test driver Simone Faggioli, a Pikes Peak veteran. Faggiolli was able to maneuver the SUV around the 156-turn, 20km              course 17.838 seconds    quicker than the previous record holder, a Bentley Bentayga, managed in 2018. This isn’t the driver’s first record-setting run,        either. He set (and still holds) the rear-wheel-   drive record in 2018.

  Lamborghini isn’t ready to fully unveil the latest Urus just yet, so the SUV that tackled the hill climb did so in a digital camouflage wrap with “Keep            Raising the Bar”  splashed across its sides.The marque is also keeping its mechanical and technical features secret for the time being—for the most part.    It did reveal that the record-setter   was equipped with a standard twin-turbo V-8, a modified roll cage, racing seats with six-point harnesses and wore a    set of semi-slick Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tyres.

  Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini chief technical officer, said in a statement. “Pikes Peak is the most famous hill climb event in the world, as well as being            extremely challenging for the car: the uneven track layout tests the chassis’ balance; the significant altitude differences stress the powertrain; and the        weather conditions can change very rapidly between start to finish.”

  Luckily, we won’t have to wait much longer to see the new Urus in all its glory. Lamborghini plans to fully unveil the record-setting SUV on Aug, 19.
