This majestic road with its amazing bends and corners was negotiated twice by the Lamborghini Urus on 8 and 9 Oct 2021. The V8 twin-turbocharged engine of the Urus displayed its capabilities in unlocking the highest drivable road in the world. It is the absolute all-round Lamborghini that can explore new paths and unlock the most challenging roads to showcase its full potential.
Mr. Sharad Agarwal, Head of
Lamborghini India, said: "This is a proud moment for Lamborghini as the
Urus unlocks the pinnacle of high-altitude driving across the Umling La
Pass. I would like to congratulate the Border Roads Organisation (BRO)
and its team on their remarkable achievement. When we reached Umling La
Pass, even standing for 30 minutes was extremely difficult, and how the
team completed the road in such extreme weather conditions is
unimaginable. During the 87.5 km-long drive from Hanle to Umling La,
Urus performed brilliantly under the Terra and Sport driving modes on a
road that sits higher than the base camp of Mount Everest."
The
Lamborghini Urus is the first Super Sport Utility Vehicle in the world
that combines the soul of a super sports car with the functionality of
an SUV. Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 650 CV and
850 Nm of torque, the Urus accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds
and reaches a top speed of 305 km/h. The Lamborghini expedition took
place in partnership with Autocar India and BRO.
