Lamborghini Has Just Made Its 'Fastest Ever' SUV Even Faster, With The All-New Urus ST-X Concept

Lamborghini is on full throttle these days! Not just on the race tracks but also in terms of innovation and production. Remember the Lamborghini Urus, the Italian supercar maker¡¯s first ever SUV offering to the world in the form of Urus, which, it also claimed to be the fastest in its category, with a whopping top speed of 305 km/h?

It seems the claim was not enough for the racing division of the company, the Lamborghini Squadra Corse, which now has pepped-up the speed of the Urus even further. So much so, that the all-new Urus ST-X Concept now comes ready for the race tracks.

Yes, you read that right, an SUV dedicated for a race track performance! All thanks to Squadra Corse, which co-incidentally, had also come up with its first-ever hypercar, the Lamborghini SC18 Alston, just a few days back.

There is a twist here though. To make the Urus faster, Squadra Corse didn¡¯t exactly increase the engine power. Instead, it opted to bring down the weight of the SUV supercar. And more so, in elephantine proportions. The all-new Urus ST-X is a jaw-dropping 25 percent lighter than the production model. This means that the same twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 641 bhp of peak power and 850 Nm of peak torque, will make the SUV go much faster than before.

There are other race-specific modifications too. For instance, the Urus ST-X comes with a carbon fibre hood with larger vents for ample air intake. A massive rear wing has been added along with side racing exhausts with a new hexagonal design. The super SUV now runs on 21-inch single-nut rims in aluminum alloy with Pirelli tires.

The advanced mechanics for track performance include FIA licensed safety elements like a new steel rollcage, fire extinguishing system as well as an FT3 tank. Lamborghini plans to debut the new Urus ST-X concept in 2020 in Europe and the Middle East, for single-brand championship, a mix of track and off-road racing.
