In conventional steering, front wheels give direction to any vehicle, whether. The nose of the car moves where the wheels point, whether it’s left or right. It keeps real wheels stationary to their axis and drags along the direction of the front wheels. In 4-wheel steering, there are two different conditions.

High speed: All wheels work in the same sympathy. This helps Urus to maintain agility and perform better while cornering.

Slow speed: It’s a different situation, now the rear wheels go against the front wheels. This gives Urus SUV a right turning radius and helps to manoeuvre in tight spaces.

9. First Lamborghini With Turbocharged Engine

If you are a true Lambo fan, then you must know that Lamborghini makes naturally aspirated engines.

But, this time, Lambo has done something unusual. They have neither used a V12 nor a V10, instead of all these options they could have, Lambo, decided to use a turbocharged V8 engine.

Let me allow what they opted this?

The overall strategy was to make the SUV lightweight. So, instead of using a massive V10 OR V12, they picked a small V8 with two turbochargers.

Here, these turbochargers with V8 is delivering the same output as it does in more significant engines. But, problems come gifted with turbochargers. Although the quick shifters won’t let you feel any turbo lag yes, there’s a presence of turbo lag.
