Top Gear South Africa - February 2018

この問題で

While models like the Miura, Countach and Diablo coloured Lamborghini’s past with indelible wall-poster inspiration, it’s this month’s cover car, the Urus, that will remould the brand for the next decade. The car that has evolved remarkably little since those concept photos emerged nearly seven years ago is officially the world’s fastest SUV – did you expect anything less?
The car tasked with trebling Lamborghini’s volumes possesses the right blend of exotic styling and German engineering and we can accurately say this because TopGear was invited to drive the pre-production version. Read our exclusive cover story on that while we also rekindle memories of Lamborghini’s LM002 – the genesis for the SUV and a story that will have you laughing and crying.
More Italian revival a few pages later as we drive the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV but is it worth the extra money over a new Porsche Cayenne? We drive Stuttgart’s biggest SUV while closer to home the team plans a worthy challenge for our modified adventure bakkie in the desolate, undisturbed and hypnotic landscapes of Namibia.
Everyone is buying a crossover nowadays so we corral two fashionable newcomers in the Volvo XC40 and Jaguar E-Pace ahead of their local debut. They couldn’t be more different, but which one gets our vote?
All this plus the usual road tests and avant-garde Intake section packed with motoring trivia and celebrities.
We trust you will enjoy this great issue.
