Lamborghini Urus - The Super SUV ?

By now you've more than likely heard of the Lamborghini Urus, If not I'll break it down simply for you. The Urus is a 600hp monster from the same company that makes the aggressive looking supercars, Lamborghini. It features a 4.0ltr twin turbo V8 and will set you back a whopping £180,000, for that you could get yourself a Huracan and still have change for a Range Rover Evoque, personal preference I suppose :/

This hasn't been Lambos first dip into the SUV market, they launched the LM002 back in 1993 and it was... well it was interesting looking. However despite the looks, it seemed to be a success which is why Lamborghini wanted to give the Urus a shot. Lamborghini boss Stefano Domenicali who referred to his companies new creation as “a super sports car inside an SUV” said it'll be responsible for more than half of Lamborghini's sales by 2019. So you may have the opportunity to see one on your school run within the next year...




No matter what you think of Lambo's new venture, It's guarenteed that you will see The Grand Tour trio test it to it's full potential. Personally I'm not a fan but there again, I would rather have something like the Jag F-pace S. That new wristband key is the kind of tech that attracts me to Jaguar as a brand in general.

THE FERRARI 812 SUPERFAST IS THE PRANCING HORSE WE'VE ALL DREAMED ABOUT

With the 87th Geneva International Motor Show fast approaching, we had a nice little teaser from the company that has treated us with many surprises in the past year, Ferrari.

Introducing the Ferrari 812 Superfast which boasts a magnificent 6.5ltr V12 pushing out just a mere 789hp (close to the 812 name). With it's top speed of 211mph and crazy amount of horsepower, it's no wonder that the car can achieve 0-62 in an eye watering 2.9 seconds! 



Now I could get into the scientific reasons for the many aerodynamic features and explain why this engine works the way it does but even I'm more interested in how it sounds and how it handles itself around a track. The track is where Ferrari's truly come to life, not sitting in traffic in central London. The track is where you can kick the @rse out and truly understand what makes a Ferrari so unbelievably special.

Included I've added a gallery of images of the stunning car, There's also a mock-up of what the car would look like in a different colour variation.

From the images and all the talk about it, I think I can speak on behalf of the entire super car fan community in saying that we're unbelievably excited.
