Automobili Lamborghini participated in the Days of Speed on the ice of Lake Baikal, where the Lamborghini Urus Super SUV set the 1,000-meter record, at 114 km/h average speed from a standing start. Driven by the 18-time Days of Speed Russian record-holder Andrey Leontyev, the maximum recorded speed of the Urus during the record-breaking sprint was an impressive 298 km/h, despite significant warming of the ice on the world’s deepest lake. During the practice runs, the SUV had reached an impressive speed of 302 km/h. Official data registered by the FIA and the RAF (Russian Automobile Federation) will be published in April.
The Lamborghini Urus Super SUV has shown outstanding performance and exceptional maneuverability on the ice despite the challenges of slippery conditions causing reduced traction, and strong gusts of wind.
Lamborghini always sets ambitious and bold goals, reinforcing the unparalelled performance benchmarks we set for our products and endorsing the innate innovation and technical prowess of our super sports cars. This extreme challenge has once again proven that the Urus Super SUV delivers the inherent performance expected of a Lamborghini in terms of acceleration and top speed as well as handling, to unlock any road: be it a highway, off-road route or even ice. We are excited to see the Urus’ official results published. – Konstantin Sychev, Head of Lamborghini Eastern Europe and CIS
