2012 Lamborghini Urus Concept






The 2012 Lamborghini Urus Concept is an SUV with a difference. Extreme performance is coupled with a unique, powerful and dynamic design that includes a number of innovative features such as forged carbon fiber composite in the interior.


The Urus concept car is redefining the design and the dynamics of cars that typically fall into this category by being a uniquely designed, versatile, lightweight yet powerful and efficient SUV.


The Urus concept car is projected to offer the lowest C02 emissions of any in its category. With a power output of 600 hp and Lamborghini's extensive knowledge of how to make lightweight, dynamic vehicles, the Urus is set to impress.



Dimensions


The Urus offers the perfect amount of space, plenty for four people to sit comfortably and still fit a large amount of shopping or luggage. The Urus has been designed with everyday use in mind, for families or leisure pursuits with a group of friends.


The Urus has an unmistakable powerful look, muscular but not bulky, highly athletic and elegant. With a length of 192.9”, it's a perfect fit for the sporty SUV niche but it's also comparatively lower than competitors with a height of just 62.9”.


Design


The front of the Lamborghini shows a clear family resemblance, full of strong, 3D shapes, sharp lines and a clear arrow form with large air intakes and Y shapes in the headlamps. Yet the Urus is also different in many respects, the headlamps have a heptagonal/horizontal form and a new array of LED technology and the rear is surprisingly rounded.


The wheels are a large part of any Lamborghini and the Urus does not disappoint in this respect. The 24" wheels forged from aluminum and have a matte finish feature an elegant double spoke design and carbon fiber winglets that optimize ventilation.


There are no obvious rear-view mirrors on the Urus, instead there are small, aerodynamic cameras that that monitor traffic conditions.

2012 XXX Performance Audi R8 V10

German tuning company XXX Performance launched its version of the Audi R8 V10, the XXX Performance Audi R8 V10. More than a combination of names, the XXX Performance Audi brings updates both in the interior and the engine.

Here tuning enthusiasts will certainly have an eye-catching auto with a different kind of performance.

Engine

The XXX Performance had the stock 5.2 liter V10 engine software-optimized, paired with a top-of-the-line sports exhaust system, and equipped with a BMC carbon airbox. The engine also has a Bluetooth flap control system provided by Capistro.

All these updates work together to make the engine powerful enough to deliver 650 horsepower. It is a great improvement from the 525 horsepower that you get from the stock R8 V10.

Performance

The XXX Performance Audi is definitely stronger and faster than the base Audi R8. The sport-tuned suspension, the Oxigin rims and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires give it better grip, letting the car efficiently put the power to the ground. Carbon fiber is used in most part of the exterior making the car lighter and nimbler.

Exterior

Its appearance is what makes the XXX Performance Audi truly exciting. XXX Performance drenched the Audi R8 in bilious snake green paintwork and used G-Ride Air-ride system on the coil over kit to give the car a lower stance. Even the rims are accented with the green paint, making the car truly eye catching.

The front grille is painted black and the headlamps are darkened, accentuating the front. The carbon exterior rear view mirror, as well as the side blades were also colored black giving strong contrast to the bright green theme.

Interior

High quality Alcantara and genuine leather are used to cover the seats and the white stitching provides a contrasting color to the dark wrapping. Carbon materials can also be found in the cabin which is highly sport-inspired.

Pros

The XXX Performance Audi has good looks and stronger performance. This one-of-a-kind modified Audi R8 has got lots of personality that will surely fit the lifestyle of an urban dweller.

Cons

The ground clearance of the XXX Performance Audi is so low that it can be difficult to drive on imperfect roads. Not to mention the big wheels and super low profile tires, the places where you can travel with it are limited.

If you are live in the city, deeply immersed with the urban culture, the 2012 XXX Performance Audi R8 V10 is a fitting performance car for you.
