Should Lambo Build a Two-Door Urus Coupe as a Sportier Take On the Super Crossover?

Lamborghini has been rumored to expand its three-model lineup with a fourth vehicle for a few good years now, though the official decision is still pending – or that's what we know, anyway.
There have been talks, more or less official, about a possible super sedan to put models such as the Porsche Panamera in their corners, and a second crossover was also rumored at one point, though the internet couldn't make up its mind on whether it would be smaller or larger than the Urus.

Smaller could be the key, as a premium compact super high-rider from the Italian marque would inevitably become the cheapest brand-new Lambo, and we have no doubt that it would further elevate their overall sales to new heights. However, the automaker does not seem interested in making more vehicles, so a flagship crossover could be the key.

You could argue that it is pure speculation on our side, and you'd be right, as no one who's not a high-ranking exec at Lamborghini knows anything about a possible fourth model. And if anything, we would bet our bottom dollar on the fact that it won't be a two-door version of the Urus – make that a three-door if you think the tailgate can be used for ingress and egress.

Such a vehicle has been rendered a few times, and the latest digital take on it came from Kolesa. The CGIs were based on the Urus S, which sits alongside the more track-focused Performante, and they imagine it with the same wheelbase length and two longer doors to facilitate entry and exit for those unfortunate enough to sit at the back. The model follows the usual design language, featuring the same broad shoulders, aggressive front and rear fascias, and sloping roofline, hence the realistic approach.

But you don't have to beg Lamborghini to launch a Urus Coupe because such a model already exists. And we're not talking about renderings this time, as it is as real as they come. Mansory took to the World Wide Web earlier this year, revealing an intricate project with an OTT approach, which they named the Venatus Coupe Evo C. A lot of work went into its development, as the central pillars were moved backward by 7.9 inches (200 mm). It also gets a wide body kit with plenty of add-ons all around, two captain's chairs at the rear, new upholstery, and a few other things that set it apart.

Production of the Mansory Venatus Coupe Evo C is capped at eight copies, and each one boasts 887 hp (900 ps/662 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm). That is a healthy boost over the 641 hp (650 ps/478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) developed by the stock twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. Pricing is still unknown, though as stupid as it may be, it is the kind of project that costs a small fortune. After all, the controversial tuner is in this game to make money.
