News from Lamborghini, which revealed that its [Urus SUV](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1095/the-lamborghini-urus-will-suck-wind>) will get 4-liter twin-turbo V8 power. Lambos typically have more cylinders and zero turbos, so this is a massive shift. Lamborghini is claiming that the choice was partially based on giving the Urus more low-range power off-road, which raises the question: how many of the 3,000 Uruses made every year will actually go off-road, especially priced at an expected 400 large?
