July 2018 issue of US magazine "ROAD & TRACK" Lamborghini "URUS"

Posted: Posted:

American magazine "ROAD & TRACKJuly 2018 issue. * The text in the magazine is copyrighted and is blurred.

The cover of this time is Dodon, and Lamborghini is Urs! For a while after Urus was announced, I had a long history of "Urus fever", and there was a time when I was just thinking about Urus. Around this time, the standby screen of my smartphone is also Urus ← I'm always too easy to understand my actions (laughs). I can't stop my favorite feelings, so I can't help it!

Encounter a real Urus car at Urus Private ViewIt might be better to make a reservation seriously ... But I'm going to embark on 30 million or more ... I have to find a new parking lot of a size that Urus can park ... After all, but I can't wait for two years! ", The main reason was that I couldn't wait, and the Urus fever went down for the time being.

No, but it was really cool, and after all, it can seat 5 people (because my family is a family of 5 people, one 5-seater car is essential), and I'm sure that the actual car will start to be delivered again and I will meet Urus in the city. If that happens, Urus fever may develop again (laughs). Even if I consider it, Porsche will not let go, so it will be a consideration that is not a transfer, so the hurdle is also high.

Such a Lamborghini "URUS" was the main article of this July issue.

It's a rough sketch, but if you write down only a part of it that interests you;

"Urus has good stability, and when it turns, it moves lighter and makes me think that it is a low sedan. The engineering technique in this Urus is wonderful. However, the most effective and best technology among them is probably the "electromechanical 48V active anti-roll bars" that you never actually see.This technique comes from Porsche, This anti-roll bar keeps the Urus extremely flat in difficult times (driving environment, etc.) ”

And that. Oh, this "active anti-roll bar" that I often saw in Urus articles etc.It seems that it is a technology that came from Porsche ("This technology comes from Porsche").. I'm kind of happy (laughs). Technology installed in the new Panamera!

At the time this article was written, the customer who ordered Urs, the 68%, was the first customer to buy a car from Lamborghini.

According to the article, "If the Lamborghini you buy for the first time is the Urus, you will not have the" sound "of the Lamborghini, the emotions that stir you up, or the exciting experience of the Countach." It's pretty tough. But that may be true. Because, Urus is completely different from them ...

Furthermore, "It is a criticism that it is a Lamborghini but it looks big and it is not a so-called Lamborghini sound, but it is necessary to doubt what this car can do on paved or unpaved roads. No (that is, it's amazing) ".

Although the content of the article is very complimenting about the driving performance of Urus, I felt that the writer was not convinced by its size and the fact that it was not a "Lamborghini sound".

Well, but it's an SUV, and I think it's not comparable to other Lambo's car models, but what about ... I feel that a new individual called "Urus" is more amazing than "Lamborghini". I am catching it with.

The specifications posted are as follows. * I think that there are many kilometer displays in Japanese articles, so I will post them in mileage display or pound display. Prices are in North America.

No, after all Urus, I think it's very nice! I'm looking forward to the day when Urus starts running in Tokyo! !!

By the way, what I was happy about other than the article about Urus this time was the Porsche advertisement that appeared in this magazine.

Of the words previously used in Porsche's catchphraseI like the phrase "Porsche. There is no substitute" the mostI wrote that, but this phrase. It was still active and used for advertising! !!

This is an advertisement, so I will post it as it is, but if you look closely at the text, this phrase is at the end.

Here is the enlarged one.

Leaderboard.
Drawing board.
Repeat.

For over 70 years, this process has remained. Never lingering too long on any one achievement. Quickly getting back to engineering. Back to testing. Back to racing. And, if history is any indication, back to the podium. Porsche. There is no substitute.

It's a literal translation, but if you translate it roughly, it looks like this?

Leaderboard (race ranking).
Drafting plate (car design).
repetition.

This process is still going on for over 70 years. No matter how good you do, you won't be obsessed with it for a long time and will soon return to engineering, testing, and racing. Then, as the history shows, we will go up to the podium again. Porsche. There is no substitute. Porsche. There is no substitute.

Well, the real alternative to Porsche is Nai! !! However, I just sympathize with it. really like. I wonder how addictive the car is. The more you run, the more you like it.

Porsche is a car, not a human being, but there are times when I feel like I'm really crushing my heart, I like it too much and it's painful. Rather than being, I always love it too much ...

And besides the advertisement, GT3 RS was also posted as an article.

The specifications are as follows.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The GT3 RS is a car that "(when you drive, depending on the performance of the car) makes you think that you are more amazing than you really are!" What was even more surprising was that roll cages are the default setting in most markets, but there is no such roll cage setting in the United States. Why? ?? Laws and regulations? ?? It's different depending on the country.

Also, a little about the 911 GT2 Touring and Carrera T. This is my memo, but I would like to post only the specs.
