Post Your Daily Encounter Pics Here

Funnily enough I saw a Urus today as well, a black one. I was driving though, so didn't take a photo.
Just imagine your photo with a black Urus and no Ventian blinds, that'll do.

Sat at my desk in my living room (SE London one way street, not a posh neighbourhood)... Heard something rumble as an engine started... There's a lambo outside.



Managed to take photos that were more Venetian blind than car :o but it was a Urus with reg V1NCE. Not the rarest thing I've seen from my window, but pretty cool.


"In" is a little bit of a stretch :p

I thought you'd seen two yellow urus parked next to each other :D
 
The Urus just seems to blend in to the sea of modern SUVs genericness tbh. From a distance they all just look the same.

If you are going to buy a Lambo, get a proper Lambo. Not a Audi with a Lambo bodykit and remap.

Neighbour of mine has one. Black paint, black wheels, black everything. Just looks like a Q8, I'm sure it's brilliant, but it loses a lot of what Lambo are about IMO, I love their other cars.

I may be thinking a bit black and white, but if you've put an SUV body around it, it's no longer a sports car is it. Never understood it when I started seeing Porsche do 4x4 family wagons even.

When I worked as a lacky for a billionaire, I drove him everywhere in a GLS 63 AMG. That in itself was the most ridiculous car I'd ever driven. Nothing made sense, it was compromised in every single way. Apart from the speed and thunder I absolutely hated the thing, particularly driving it around Chelsea.

Anyway. I took it in to the shop a few times for some work and was always given a G63 as a loaner. It was without a doubt one of the worst cars I've ever driven, and I once owned a Corsa B 1.4. It handled like a lubed up brick, sat more upright than a London bus, and no amount of leather and fancy stitching could hide the fact that under all the pizazz was a truck built for hardcore offroading during a war. Yes they refined it in many ways but it still felt like a tractor. A fast tractor, but a tractor nonetheless. The literal only thing they're decent at, climbing stuff like hills and trees, is the only thing they don't do in London. It boggles my mind, it really does. And yet people flock to them like flies on a freshly laid turd. Also quite possibly the snatchiest clutch I've ever driven but I suspect that was the loaner as it was a couple of years old and probably ragged to absolute death by all the instas outside Harrods.

Because of the massive profits it gives them. Lambo and AM and others saw how much money Porsche makes from the Cayenne and thought they wanted a piece of the pie. Dont blame them.

Cayennes are reputed to account for almost a third of VW Groups profits despite being only 1.7% of the cars they make.

When the Cayenne was launched, Porsches profits jumped 40% and have stayed high ever since.

So long as people want to buy them it at least means people like Porsche and AM and Lambo can use those obscene profits to develop nice sports cars.

It is market driven. People who buy expensive luxury cars want big, powerful SUVs. It is car manufacturers responding to market demand.
