A prototype for Lamborghini’s upcoming Urus SUV has been spotted carving up the Nürburgring. The sighting comes just weeks after Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed some of the SUV’s details. The prototype reveals for the first time the shape of the Urus in production trim, and as was expected the vehicle is a bit bulkier than the rakish Urus concept unveiled at the 2012 Beijing auto show.

Lamborghini Urus unveiled ahead of Beijing auto show
