2023 was the best year for Lamborghini

January 17, 2024 Francis Mitterrand

2022 was a very successful year for Lamborghini with 9,242 cars sold, and the same was expected in 2023. According to the report, Lamborghini delivered 10,112 cars worldwide in the past 12 months, which is the best result in the history of this Italian manufacturer.

Although governments are trying to encourage customers to buy electric cars with subsidies, the demand for ICE cars and hybrids is still high. Proof of this is the 6,087 copies of the Lamborghini Urus delivered in the last 12 months, and 3,962 copies of the Lamborghini Huracan model.

Lamborghini had the highest sales growth in the European market, where 4,000 cars were delivered, which is a 14 percent increase compared to the same period of the previous year. In the US, 3,000 cars were sold, which is a 9 percent increase over the previous year.

In March last year, Lamborghini presented the successor to the Aventador, the Lamborghini Revuelto, and the first examples were delivered at the end of the year. That is why these examples were not included in the total number, and what effect they will have on the sales results in 2024 remains to be seen.

The Lamborghini Revuelto is powered by a 6.5-L V12 combined with an electric motor with a total output of 1,001 hp (747 kW) and 595 lb-ft (807 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. This powerful SUV is capable of accelerating from zero to 62 in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h).

Drag race: Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R v Lamborghini Urus

December 16, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Drag racing has been popular for a long time, but lately there are more and more powerful new production cars competing. One such “fight” was organized by the guys from the YouTube channel Carwow, putting the Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Raptor R and Lamborghini Urus on the line.

Although the Tesla Cybertruck looks weird at first glance, it is a really powerful car. It is offered in three versions of the powertrain, and the most powerful has three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 686 lb-ft (930 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The Lamborghini Urus is a powerful sports SUV powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive it reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).

The Ford F-150 Raptor R is a powerful pickup powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine with 700 hp (522 kW) and 640 lb-ft (868 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in about 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Cybertruck vs Urus

At the standard 1/4 mile, on the newly constructed road next to Tesla’s GigaFactory, the Lamborghini Urus stood no chance against the Cybertruck. In every race, the Tesla car was too fast for the Urus, even though the drivers switched cars. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds, while the Lamborghini took 12.3 seconds.

From 30 mph, over the same distance, the Tesla was again unbeatable. As well as from 40 mph, even when the Urus started one second before the Cybertruck. Braking was the advantage of the Urus. From 70 mph the Urus managed to stop in a shorter distance than the Cybertruck which needed a few more meters even though it was using mud tires.

Cyberturk vs Ford F-150 Raptor R

At the standard 1/4 mile, the Cybertruck showed its power and left the F-150 Raptor R far behind. The Raptor R was in line with the Tesla in the first ten meters, but after that it had no chance. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds while the F-150 Raptor R took 12.4 seconds. From 20 mph, the Tesla was far faster than the Raptor R. From 70 mph, the Tesla managed to stop in a shorter distance than the F-150 Raptor R, which needed 20 meters more.

Tesla Cybertruck has shown that it is a very good car, but also why over 2 million units have been ordered so far.

Lamborghini Urus as Apocalypse 6×6

December 11, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Ten years ago, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 was one of the first cars to be transformed into a six-wheeler, which later proved popular with pickup enthusiasts. Now, South Florida Jeeps has transformed the powerful Lamborghini Urus into an Apocalypse 6×6 vehicle.

Two months ago, a video of this crazy beast was published on the Sliderz_Official YouTube channel. The car looks like an unfinished project, but what can be seen is breathtaking. It is finished in red with black carbon side mirror housings, door sills, fenders, and large wheels. The extension of the roof line and the rear part made it possible to install a third axle and two additional wheels. A new diffuser, lip spoiler and additional spoiler mounted on the roof were installed.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is not known if there have been any changes. The standard Lamborghini Urus is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h).

This isn’t the first car that South Florida Jeeps has transformed into a 6X6 over the years. Before the Urus, the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco and even the Land Rover Defender underwent a similar transformation.
