Lamborghini SUV, New Ducati Ownership, and Dubai Enzo

Lamborghini has finally decided to move back into the SUV sector, dubbed Urus, their first debut being about a decade ago. This new SUV surprise is really a move to get a foothold in China's SUv market which is projected to increase by 56% in 2015. The styling of this new Lambo is going with the crossover SUV look but seems to draw more specifically from the Range Rover Evoque which has a slanted roof starting from the A Beam. As usual the SUV will be All Wheel Drive like every other car in their bull ring(besides the special edition Gallardo Balboa i believe). Demand and interest seems like it will be high for this car and with a estimated 600+ hp power range and a price tag of only around $200K this car is looking pretty good! The only other competition really is the Range Rover Supercharged and the BMW X5M, of course on road the Lambo will probably decimate but the real question is will the Urus have any real off-road capability like the Range Rover?

 Lamborghini's latest SUV "Urus" is on display at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in Beijing, China, Tuesday, April 24, 2012.  

Audi as we all know is a huge German Automaker so huge in-fact that they purchased Lamborghini a few years back and created the monster Murcialago that changed everything the lp-640, one of my personal favorite cars. Today Audi is the owner of another great company, the one and the only Ducati! This isn't even the most crazy news though because Audi agreed to buy them for $1.2 Billion, yes.... 1.2 you aren't going crazy and i didn't make a spelling mistake. What Volkswagon- Audi has done is create a super empire, they have their entry brand(VW), Luxury Brand(Audi), Ultra Performance(Audi, Lamborghini) and now the special vehicles (Ducati). Their reach is starting to expand, the question is really now will the other German Carmakers *cough* *cough* BMW be able to keep up with the exponential expansion of Audi?

Dubai is full of famous, not so famous and ridiculous rich, people so rich in fact that they ditch their 1.6 million dollar Ferraris in a sand ridden parking lot for 20 months!  Why do such an evil thing, well all in the name of taxes and tickets, of around 27K not to mention that this car was wanted by Interpol. This car will be actioned off in the next month and its value could range anywhere from $800K to $1.2Million. Don't think this is the only outcast in Dubai there are hundreds of Supercars in Dubai just lying their waiting to be saved, please somebody find all of these gems!
