Yes, you read it right! Lamborghini will launch the world's fastest SUV in India sooner than expected. The Urus will be launched in the Indian market on January 11, 2018.

Lamborghini will introduce the Urus in India just 38 days after its global debut, which is quite fast as the SUV itself. Previously, Lamborghini also introduced the Huracan Performante just days after its global debut at the 2017 Geneva motor show. The Urus will be open for booking even before the official launch.

Lamborghini aims to retail over 7,000 units of Urus per year and markets like India, where the SUVs are becoming extremely popular will play a key role in achieving the goal. This is the main reason behind the introduction of Urus in India sooner than expected and even before the scheduled launch in China, Japan and South East Asia.

Initially, for the first two years, Lamborghini will allocate only limited units of Urus for India, but we are sure that it will be much larger than its cars in the country. The primary challenge for Lamborghini will be meeting the demand in the Indian market.
