We're just days away from the reveal of the Urus, and Lamborghini is kicking its slow tease into overdrive. Until now, we have only seen camouflaged versions of the new model, but now the automaker is showing off specific details of the exterior in a new video.

Most notably, we get a clear look at the headlights and taillights. Both feature unique Y-shaped graphics. The video also gives us a glimpse of the car's exhaust, spoiler, and mirrors, as well as its bold yellow paint job.
Lamborghini says the Urus features a side-mounted triangular air outlet reminiscent of the one on the LM002 SUV. It's also said to feature hexagonal wheel arches and a two-thirds, one-third window ratio from Lamborghini's sports cars.
The Urus will pack a twin-turbo V-8 that makes 650 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. A plug-in hybrid version should arrive a year after the standard model. The Urus could start around $200,000 in the U.S., a price that will make it compete with the Bentley Bentayga. Rolls-Royce is also preparing a high-sided vehicle that has yet to be revealed, and Sergio Marchionne has said Ferrari is "dead serious" about an SUV.
Lamborghini will unveil the Urus on December 4.
Watch the video below for a closer look at the Urus' design. And check out the second video to find out how the Urus was inspired by the Countach.

When I tell people I write about cars, the most common reply I receive is “Really?” I guess I never strike people as a car type as I drive down the freeway in the right lane going 60 mph in my old SUV. My gripes about driving in city traffic and fast drivers don’t help my case, either. For a time, the only cars I liked were old cars. Not old as in "classic" or "vintage," but as in well-worn. My first appreciation of cars came when I drove a very old Ford pickup. It wasn't perfect: I used a booster seat to reach the gas pedal, and the turn signal once fell off in my hand as I was learning to drive. But the thing I valued most was the memories. It took several years for me to truly become a "car person." Being a long-time writer and an avid reader has helped me develop a healthy curiosity and a desire to know how things work. This has made cars one of the most fascinating points of study for me because they are such intricate machines. I am interested in how cars can reach 200 mph, how they can run on hydrogen, and how they can drive and park on their own. I also enjoy learning how cars can solve problems whether it be in the form of reducing pollution, minimizing traffic, or helping people stay connected on the road. Yes, maybe I’m not a gearhead. Perhaps I’m a car nerd. Either way, I very much enjoy writing about cars and helping people stay in tune with the automotive industry. I wouldn't want to be writing about anything else. And don’t get me wrong: I know how to drool over a hot car. I am fascinated by the Tesla Model S, awed by the Lamborghini Veneno, and am hopelessly obsessed with the Audi R8.
