Lamborghini: Urus SE debuts in Malaysia, LEGO Icons Countach (10337) unveiled

In a day filled with excitement for both car enthusiasts and LEGO fans, Lamborghini, today, unveiled two new offerings: the Urus SE, a plug-in hybrid super SUV, in Malaysia and the highly anticipated LEGO Icons Countach (10337) set.

Lamborghini Urus SE: the world’s first plug-in hybrid super SUV launched on Malaysian shores

Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur, the official distributor for Lamborghini in Malaysia, announced the arrival of the Urus SE – the world’s first plug-in hybrid super SUV. This innovative offering combines the exhilarating performance Lamborghini is known for with the environmental benefits of hybrid technology.

The Urus SE boasts a powerful hybrid powertrain that combines a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with an electric motor. This configuration delivers exceptional power and acceleration while offering reduced emissions compared to traditional gasoline-powered models.

“The Lamborghini Urus was an important catalyst for the brand when it first joined our product portfolio back in 2017,” said Francesco Scardaoni, the region director of Automobili Lamborghini Asia Pacific, in a company press release. “Today, the Super SUV has firmly established itself as our best seller, not just in the Asia Pacific region, but across all markets worldwide.”

“The new Urus SE sets the stage for an era of Super SUV evolution in the electrification phase, and it is also a significant milestone for the brand. I believe that this car is an interpretation of the brand going beyond, and how we revolutionised the automotive world with our iconic Super SUV.”

Technical data of the SUV is available in the PDF found here. See more photos of the vehicle in the Multimedia section of Lamborghini’s Media Center here.

Also, it had incorrectly called a Lars Lajensie the senior vice president of Design at the LEGO Group and included a made-up comment of the person.
