Former Ferrari F1 Boss Stefano Domenicali Has the Raging Bull by the Horns. We Chat Urus, Atmo Lambos & the Car Company Ceo Life

DURING THIS year’s Geneva motor show, a new sharply styled 300 km/h tallboy Lamborghini was one of the stars. Unlike many of the new upmarket SUVs scattered through the halls of the Palexpo, the Urus at least has some four-by-four pedigree. Remember the ’80s ‘Rambo Lambo’ LM002, the first SUV with supercar genes? If you’ve ever seen one, they’re impossible to forget.

That monster, originally conceived as a (failed) military vehicle, was the most outrageous, thirstiest, and most in-your-face SUV of its time, and probably of all time. No big car, in history, has ever intimidated other road users quite like an LM002. It was powered by a Countach V12, so no SUV has ever sounded like it, either. It was also the fastest SUV of its day.
