    A worthy successor to the Lamborghini Militaria 002?

    Tenner says its been photoshopped into that photo. No way it made it up there with those tyres.

    Looks awful to be honest. At least the LM002 was completely barmy and needed an oil field to run.

    This is what happens when Audi takes over. Soon we'll be told that Lamborghini needs a premium compact coupe, an urban city car ...

    They've just bought Ducati. I give it 3 years before the first LED festooned 2 wheeled chav mobile appears. Idiots ruining what are brilliant brands :mad:

    Does it matter? Lamborghini made some of the most incredible vehicles, and under direction from Audi and using tech sharing it's grand to produce something which still is a Lamborghini with Audi climate control switches, etc, but an SUV is just taking the piss.

    You've got a point. Lamborghini are making 1,500 cars a year now. The plan is to build 3,000 of this Urus alone per annum, so effectively tripling Lamborghini output...

    Sure its not only Lamborghini thats building all these pointless cars. Bentley released pictures of its new SUV, Aston Martin brought out a small urban car(same as the Toyota iQ) a couple of years back. Unfortunately its the way car makers are going, and in years to come all that will be available will be electric cars.... its being ruined by the minute!

    Ah but if it keeps the brands alive, I think it's ok.. Rather this along with the supercars than them going bankrupt and disappearing.

    Looks like a heavily photoshopped RR evoque to me.

    Looks like an Evoque on steroids.

    Land Rover can't build Evoques fast enough for certain markets, others are obviously looking to cash in on this to the mega rich with no taste.

    The LM002 was around the same time the US military were developing what eventually became the Humvee/Hummer. Nearest I got to owning one was the Tamiya R/C version :D

    LM002 was probably the coolest SUV ever, an Italian Humvee. This is a sham, made solely for the Chinese market and premiership footballers, compete tack.

    Will it even be produced though? Look at all the pointless concepts Lambo has come up with over the years and none of them went into production. I'd be genuinely surprised if this does.

    These SUV's are the cash cows the supercar makers need to raise funds to keep developing the supercars of the future. Sure Porsche sell more Cayanne's than the 911 worldwide.

    First impression was its very similar to an Audi Q7

    And I didn't know Audi owed lambo.

    Lambos are for attention-seeking noveau-riche. No class. This isn't any different.

    a buzz word only used by the jealous and poor.


    But this thing is horrible, it and the evoque are just the ugly ducklings of the SUV world

    That kind of suggests that there are some swans out there in the SUV world.
