We've seen the Lamborghini Urus in all sorts of scenarios, but have you ever wondered how the Raging Bull SUV behaves when the gloves come off? Well, we're here to deliver a sample of Urus hooning that might just answer that question.
To be more precise, we'll show you the Urus doing the sideways thing. No, this isn't somebody drifting the high-riding Italian on a racetrack. Instead of asphalt shenanigans, we're looking at gravel adventures. And with the Urus sliding on gravel, the whole scene looks like a rally scene.

Note that most of the sliding is performed by simply throwing the weight of the Urus from one side to the other. The drift is initiated with the help of a good old Scandinavian flick.

The body roll seems to be kept in check tremendously well and it doesn't take long until the slip angles reach smile-inducing values. And once the SUV gets fully sideways, the one behind the wheel gets on the gas.

And the aural reply of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 is delicious, even though the machine doesn't get to use its full 650 hp might.

Now, in case you're wondering why the driver didn't fully weld the throttle, you should check out the flying stones. Sure, gifting your go-fast machine with PPF (Paint Protection Film) might be the norm these days, but there's only so much that film can do when assaulted in the manner seen here.

Those of you who are tuned into our hooning tales might be familiar with the driving style seen here - the gear head pushing the Lambo sideways is knows as Powerslide Lover and we've shown you his adventures on multiple occasions.

Speaking of Urus hooning, we're expecting the Italian automotive producer to come up with an even sharper incarnation of the machine. And while the potential newcomer still wouldn't be a Performante or a Superveloce Jota, we're pretty sure its expected diet will help with the drifting.
