Urus will race in a single-make series
Just when we were getting used to the idea of a $200,000 SUV, Lamborghini has thrown us another curveball. It's preparing a racing version of the Urus that will hit the track in 2020.
For now, the Lamborghini
Urus ST-X concept gives us a taste of the upcoming track variant. This
model debuted at the 2018 Lamborghini World finals, featuring a bold
rear wing and side-exit exhausts in a hexagonal design, as well as
21-inch center-locking aluminum alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero Corsa
tires. Lamborghini says the race car is 25 percent lighter than the
standard production Urus, and it's capable on both on- and off-road
circuits.

Output remains 641 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. But larger air intakes
optimize cooling of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine. Other updates
support safety, including a steel roll cage, fire suppression system,
and FT3 fuel tank. Topping it all off is a Verde Mantis paint job and an
exposed carbon fiber hood.

The Urus ST-X will race in a single-make championship on FIA-approved
circuits in Europe and the Middle East. These events will begin in
2020, Lamborghini says in a statement. The races will take on an "arrive
and drive" formula offering customers car and technical support during
the race weekend.
