Lamborghini gives up on new SUVs

Leave a comment

Lamborghini has only one SUV in its fleet, the Urus, and the latest information suggests that it will remain so in the future. However, some rumors say that this is just a trick and that the Italian brand could soon introduce one or two new SUV models, considering their growing demand.

Chief Marketing & Sales Officer Federico Foschini said that SUV models are not the focus of the company, but the super sports cars they are known for. He believes that any new SUV, smaller or larger, would not be in line with the brand’s philosophy: “We would rather leave the production of such SUVs to one of the other companies that are under the umbrella of Volkswagen.”

Lamborghini currently has several outstanding super cars in its offer, such as the Revuelto, which is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine in combination with three electric motors for a total of 1,015 horsepower. Also, the Italian brand announced the arrival of the Lanzador for 2029, as a GT with high ground clearance, inspired by the Sesto Elemento, Murcialago and Countach LPI 800-4. It will be equipped with the new Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVi) driving dynamics control system, and new technology that, thanks to sensors, adapts the car’s dynamics to the driver through a sophisticated algorithm. When it comes to the powertrain, the Lanzador will have two electric motors and AWD.

Leave a comment

Chinese-owned company, MG Motor, has unveiled its new vehicle, the CyberX electric SUV. It is a new concept model from the Cyber ​​series, while the production version will be presented later.

The car was designed by Jozef Kaban who previously worked on the development of some models of Audi, Škoda, Bugatti, BMW, Rolls-Royce. The CyberX is 4.3 meters long and has a boxy profile with a clean, minimalist surface. It is equipped with pop-up headlights located on the hood above a full-length LED line, boxy wheel arches, massive tires and has a high ground clearance. Some parts are reminiscent of already known models, such as the glass on the Land Cruiser Series 300. Its size allows it to be positioned in the upper part of the subcompact segment in Europe. The company did not reveal the interior design.

MG is still keeping a lot of things secret, and some rumors suggest that the car could be built on SAIC’s new E3 platform, which means it will be an all-electric car.

The launch date of the production car is not known, but MG has announced that the CyberX will be available in the domestic market as well as in Australia and Europe, which is becoming the main market for Chinese electric cars.
