We expect that the crossover and SUV bubble will burst by the end of the decade. However, there will always be room for the Lamborghini Urus, the hotly anticipated model from Sant'Agata Bolognese.
There might even be a little room for something as crazy as a 6x6 version. After all, there's no such thing as having too many driven wheels. Mercedes had it easy because it had developed part of the technology for the military. While the predecessor of the Urus was also designed for army use, they aren't going to have that much luck this time around.
Considering the dozens of Middle Eastern billionaire princes chomping at the bits to buy the Urus, we firmly believe that at least one will commission a pickup truck, maybe even one with six wheels.
If you're wondering what that might look like, here's a rendering for you. The guys at Lambo Cars created it, along with a few images of what the regular production model might look like.
Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali recently stated that annual production of the Urus will be capped at 3,500 units. That's still more than all the cars they currently make put together. Still, it's less than the Bentley Bentayga's target of 5,000 units.
About 30% of all Lamborghini dealers are in the US, and they have been itching to get an SUV. It's more a question of offering a status symbol, as the $200,000 base price suggests performance will be well below that of the Huracan.
Lamborghini plans a plug-in hybrid electric version of the SUV by 2020. That also suggests a lot more of the components will be shared with Bentley than is the case with the R8-Huracan collaboration. Will we get to see a TDI Lamborghini? We hope not, but it will still make the Maserati Levante seem pedestrian.
