It looks like the new Lamborghini Urus is starting to take shape.
The brand-new Lambo has been spotted testing at the Nürburgring.
A video has been doing the rounds showing the new sports SUV in development.
And it has left people with quite a few questions in the process.

Lamborghini pretty much changed the game when it unveiled the Urus.
The announcement of a sports SUV, made back in December 2017, shocked the car world.
Why would such supercar royalty concern itself with making an SUV?
It turns out that the Bologna Bulls broke the mould with the Urus.
And the numbers back up the high praise.
The supercar quickly became the brand’s best seller.
It has even outsold its previous flagship offering – the Huracán.
Even its new flagship, the Temerario, will have a tough time competing in popularity.
Since its 2018 model year launch, over 29,000 Urus units have been sold globally.
And now it seems as if the 2026 model is firmly on its way.
At the moment, the current Urus lineup consists solely of the SE edition.
It used to be accompanied by the S and the Performante.
Those quickly got dropped, however, because the Urus SE served the role of both of them.
They also used less powerful, non-hybrid engines compared to the SE.
The Urus SE is a different story entirely – because it uses Lamborghini’s hybrid powertrain.
That means a starting point of 789HP and 590LB-FT of torque.
There are some interesting things in this video, courtesy of CarSpyMedia.
The 2026 Urus SE appears to be using an enlarged rear wing similar to the Performante.
It also appears likely that chassis and suspension changes could well be in the works.
The final product should hopefully be available soon.
Especially if it smashes it around the Nürburgring.
