VIDEO: Lamborghini Urus revealed in new teaser

Infotainment system's homescreen gives us our first undisguised look at Italian SUV

Lamborghini has mistakenly released a new video to demonstrate the on-track prowess of its all-new Urus, which accidentally reveals the Italian SUV on the car's own infotainment screen.

The close-up, meant to show the driver cycling through the Lambo's Adaptive Network Intelligence Management (ANIMA) system to select 'Corsa' mode, shows a rendering of a completely undisguised silver Urus.

Removed shortly after the mistake was realised, the video was supposed to demonstrate the fast Porsche Cayenne rival's effective 'Corsa' mode that sets the big Lamborghini's engine, transmission, steering and suspension in its most aggressive settings.

As well as showing the Urus itself, the original video segment showed off a large proportion of the Lambo SUV's interior -- but was sadly removed in the re-posted video below.

The original edit revealed the Italian SUV will come with three large screens. A 12.3-inch virtual cockpit instrument panel, a generously proportioned infotainment screen and another touch-screen panel to operate the climate-control.

Below that are further airplane-style controls that offer gear selection and drive modes.

Like other Lamborghinis, startinge Urus requires lifting a red panel to stab the starter button.

Already spotted testing on the road back in May, much is already known about the Urus.

Sharing its MLB evo platform with the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7, the first Lambo SUV will borrow much of the technology in those SUVs — including a four-wheel steering system and active anti-roll technology powered by the Urus' new 48-volt electronic architecture.

Under the bonnet the all-new Lamborghini gets a twin-turbocharged petrol V8 that it developed in house. Expect around 485kW and for the two-tonne SUV to hit 100km/h in less than four seconds and top out at more than 300km/h.

Shortly after its launch, the Urus is tipped to easily beat the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV’s fastest lap of the Nurburgring.

Once launched in the second quarter of 2018, Lamborghini will introduce more efficient versions that are thought to include a plug-in hybrid version and, potentially, even a diesel.

By the time the Italian SUV arrives Down Under in late 2018 or 2019, the Urus will be well underway to becoming the car-maker’s best-selling vehicle of all time.

With annual production of around 3500 cars a year, the new SUV will easily double Lamborghini’s annual global sales.
