LAMBORGHINI: POLAR EXPEDITION

Even if you have to drive in winter conditions, you don't have to sacrifice style. This idea inspired Abimelec Arellano's Lamborghini concept.

Even if you have to ride through winter conditions, you don't have to sacrifice style. This idea inspired the latest concept from car concept designer Abimelec Arellano. The concept is based on the Lamborghini Urus. “I actually wanted to make a super luxurious polar expedition vehicle.”Online editor: Natasha Hendriks

Badass

The Lamborghini Urus is the absolute all round super sports car. It is perfect for rough terrain. Although it's smaller than a few other luxury SUVs, the Urus still looks good and has oversized tires that are ready for driving in the snow.

Somehow, though, Arellano has managed to make the SUV even cooler. His custom Lamborghini Urus was made for the cold polar expeditions and has fender flares inspired by the LM002 and four ridiculously large custom wheels. Inspired in color by the Countach, it features a glossy red exterior, which particularly stands out against the white snow, along with a brown leather interior. The four-wheeler also has a roof rack that can hold all the essential gear for off-roading, including a few fuel cans and a spare tire in case you get a flat.

3,6 seconds

Under the hood, this car retains its original 4,0 liter twin-turbo V-8 that produces 650 hp and 627 ft lbs of torque. This means the super SUV can still go from 3,6 to 0 km/h in 100 seconds.

Treatment shouldn't be a problem either. The Lamborghini Urus features six different driving modes (including one for snow) and a range of controls inherited from the Aventador S, such as four-wheel steering, active damping and all-wheel drive. It also has some aerodynamic elements taken from the Huracán Performante.

Besides the Lambo has Arellano also off-road versions of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan en Bentley Bentayga designed. You could say that polar expedition cars have never looked so good.
