Lamborghini has released a new video teasing the new [Lamborghini Urus](<https://sincewemadeitpossible.com/#>), set to be officially revealed to the public on Dec. 4 in Bologna, Italy.

Lamborghini is marketing the Urus as the world's first super sport utility vehicle, but it's not Lamborghini's first foray into the world of SUVs. In 1986, [Lamborghini released its first SUV, the LM002](<https://www.thedrive.com/vintage/7052/theres-a-mint-condition-lamborghini-lm002-lmamerican-for-sale>), which looked more like a Humvee than a Lamborghini. It was a front-engined SUV powered by the V12 engine from the Lamborghini Countach.

For more power, customers at the time could order the car with a 7.2-liter V12 engine intended for offshore powerboat racing. The LM002's off-road capability meant it was equipped to raced in the Dakar Rally.

While the rare LM002, owned by the likes of Mike Tyson and Pablo Escobar, resembles an off-road animal, the teased Urus prototypes, seen in the wild at events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, look like a lifted Lamborghini Huracán.

The Urus will feature a 4-liter twin turbo V8 engine, a change from the V-10 and V12 usually seen in the Lamborghini lineup. The twin turbo V8 will be packed with 650 horsepower, more than any [Lamborghini Huracán](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/10322/lamborghini-urus-will-make-more-power-than-the-hottest-huracan>) model now on the road. The Urus will be built on the same platform as its Volkswagen family competition: The Audi Q7 and the Bentley Bentayga.

We will have to wait until Dec. 4 to see how the Lamborghini Urus compares with the Miura, Countach and LM002 before it.
