Lamborghini will launch the Urus in 2017

Lamborghini had announced their plan in May 2013 of coming out with a production version of the Urus concept sometime in 2017. Now, the CEO of the company, Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed the launch of the Urus in 2017.

The Urus is expected to be built on the same MLB platform underpinning the next-gen Audi Q7, the Volkswagen Touareg, the Porsche Cayenne and even the SUV from Bentley. The specifications about the car’s mechanical bits have not been revealed yet. However, according to speculations the SUV is expected to be powered by a twin-turbo V8 conjointly with a plug-in hybrid version.

Lamborghini's CEO had said last year that the Urus will be available with two powertrain options. We expect the carmaker to follow the same plans for the market release scheduled in 2017.
