The 6×6 Lamborghini Urus: Redefining SUV Excess
by AutoExpert | 12 December, 2023
The Lamborghini Urus is no stranger to turning heads, but its latest incarnation as a 6×6 vehicle is pushing the envelope of automotive extravagance. This radical transformation, first glimpsed a few months ago, has now been showcased in greater detail by a pair of YouTubers, revealing a nearly completed project that's bound to stir up the SUV world.
The trend of 6×6 conversions, sparked a decade ago by the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6, has since captivated the hearts of high-end vehicle enthusiasts. These modifications have gained popularity, particularly among pickup truck aficionados, with companies like Hennessey offering full conversion kits for models such as the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500.
South Florida Jeeps, renowned for their Apocalypse6x6 creations, is the mastermind behind this audacious Urus project. They have a history of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, with their portfolio including modified Wranglers, Ford Broncos, and even Land Rover Defenders.
What sets this Urus apart is its foundation: a Lamborghini. This signifies not just a hefty price tag but also an owner willing to invest substantially in a non-reversible makeover. This transformation has likely affected the SUV’s market value significantly.
Recent updates to the Urus include finishing touches to the bodywork. The roofline has been extended, and the rear half stretched to accommodate a third axle and two additional wheels. The fender flares are broader than those of a standard Urus, and the rear features a new diffuser, lip spoiler, and an extended roof spoiler.
Equipped with striking aftermarket gloss black wheels, the Lamborghini makes a bold statement. However, the full extent of its mechanical alterations remains undisclosed. It's unclear whether the third axle is functional or merely an aesthetic addition.
