Lamborghin­i HURACÁN EVO

-

and if used ones ever come up for sale, they cost as much as a well-equipped Urus.

Which, by the way, is named a er one of the large, wild ancestors of domestic cattle.

e Spanish ghting bull, bred for the past

500 years, is still very close to the Urus in its appearance. e cows in the elds of the farmlands next to the highway I’m roaring past seem to agree. ey’re visibly agitated, and their moo-ing sounds almost like moaning.

In a mere 12.8 seconds, the Urus reaches 200km/h, despite weighing 2.2 tons. On the smooth, tarmac bends of the Franschhoe­k Pass, I switch the Anima controller in the playful Italian aeroplane cockpit from Strada to Sport mode. e bull tightens its muscles and roars even deeper. It’s incredible how this powerful SUV sticks to the road. And how con dence-boosting those giant, carboncera­mic brakes react. To put it in numbers: from 100km/h, the Urus comes to a standstill a er just 33.7m. A Bentley Bentayga would then still have 40km/h on the clock. >> >> >> >>
