Live Photos and Video of the Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept from the Beijing Motor Show

Love it or loathe it, the Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept is the star attraction at this week's 2012 Beijing International Auto Show.

The Italian automaker officially insists that there's no decision made yet to produce the Urus, but sources from within the company claim that if the top brass at the VW Group were to give the green light, a production model will be ready by 2016.

Lamborghini's CEO Stephan Winkelmann believes that the Urus could help the brand double its sales and provide a significant boost in profits in the same way that the Cayenne did for Porsche.

The production version of the 5.0 meter long Urus would likely retain the exterior styling of the concept almost intact but feature a more comfortable and less exotic interior design.

Official: Lamborghini’s Urus Concept is a 600HP SUV Aiming for the Top of its Class

Even though a four-door sports saloon is much closer to a supercar maker's philosophy than an SUV, Lamborghini wants to test the waters with a four-seat crossover model.

The VW Group-owned company’s second SUV after the 1980’s butch LM002, was unveiled today at the 2012 China Auto Show in the form of the Urus concept. We have already seen the photos of the crossover, but now have the full specifications on the concept that the company describes as being “a true Lamborghini”.

As is the tradition, the SUV's name is derived from the world of bulls. The Urus, also known as Aurochs, is one of the wild ancestors of domestic cattle. According to the Italian automaker, the Spanish fighting bull, as bred for the past 500 years, is still very close to the Urus in its appearance.

Lamborghini Aventador J Unica Speedster gets its Own Promo Film

Somehow, we find it hard to believe that Lamborghini would take a one-off exotic supercar like the Aventador J Unica speedster for a crazy quick ride on a twisty road as the company's promo video suggest, but we gather the Italians had to show some movement before moving on to the static shots.

If you're interested, you can find the clip of the Aventador-based model right after the break.

After a couple of crashes and a near miss, we now have the first reported incident of a Lamborghini Aventador catching on fire.

The incident took place over the weekend on the California State Route 73. According to the person that filmed the fire, the vehicle in question was a dealer-owned car that was out for a test drive. Here's what the YouTube poster said:

"Lamborghini Aventador on fire on the CA 73 S. No one was injured. Dealership owns the car, and it was out on a test drive when spontaneously the rear (around the DR tire) came on fire. Lamborghini is still figuring out what happened."

Lamborghini’s Humble Beginnings: Ferruccio and His Tractors

The 1963 Turin Auto Show was an event that saw the realisation of a dream that Ferruccio Lamborghini had nurtured for many years. After recruiting a team of talented designers, including Gian Paolo Dallara and Franco Scaglione, and four months of intense work, he presented the world’s first Lamborghini road car, the 350 GTV, to the media.

Although the unveiling was not without hiccups, most notably the absence of an engine, the car was well-received and the legend of Lamborghini road cars was born.

In the years that have followed, Lamborghini has grown to become synonymous with wealth and luxury. Stars like Jay Leno, Nicholas Cage and Ja Rule all drive Lamborghinis and the cars have been featured in everything from movies to rap videos.

Considering the glitz and glamour that often surrounds the vehicles that bear Ferruccio’s name, it may surprise some to learn that Lamborghini himself was a man of humble beginnings and that his bold, charging bulls were born out of a stable that was famous for producing hearty tractors as opposed to exotic supercars.
