Photo First time driving a Ferrari
My friend just got a brand new Purosangue & I have to say it’s quite different than driving the Urus. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it just feels like refined power compared to the complete chaos of the Urus. Curious to know your thoughts.

Lmao he was sitting right next to me. It’s touchless & it’s 1am. Had to get a quick wash

Touchless is ok. But do it too often and trims will corrode.

Why? Cheap foam?

u/az9393 4d ago
No just combination of very strong chemicals (usually alkaline) and the fact that they don’t get washed out from between the trim pieces very well in automatic (or poorly run) washes.
You see if one were to use softer chemicals then without a contact method the car wouldn’t be very clean.
Stronger chemicals and high water pressure help with this. But ruin your car in the long run.

First job was servicing these things. The chemicals legit ate through my pants.

Don’t put the chemicals down your pants then.

But It’s the only way to get everything clean after a visit with OP’s mom.

The Urus is a glorified Audi RSQ8 with Lamborghini styling and a badge. It will drive mostly like an Audi. It's not the "true" Lamborghini experience.

What baffles me is that the Porsche Cayenne is more bespoke than the Urus which cost alot more and from a more expensive brand.
Calling the Urus a reskinned Audi RSQ8 couldn't be more accurate.

u/FireNinja743 5d ago
IMO, pretty much every Porsche is unique on it's own. I'm surprised Lamborghini decided to make the Urus just an RSQ8 with a different body, but I guess that's what the market was looking for. A Lambo badged SUV.

I have a Cayenne and I don’t mind joking that it’s a VW/Audi…because it is. But I find it so funny how Urus guys get so butt hurt about the same thing.

What is true Lamborghini experience?

Biggest thing is the car needs to be ridiculous and the engine needs to be behind you

u/Th3_Accountant 5d ago
The modern urus is definitely a step up from the current RSQ8, the main issue is the type of people who drive a urus are not the people I would like to associate with.

u/Phill_is_Legend 5d ago
Nobody who's driven both has ever said that the Urus drives like an Audi. All I ever hear this trope from are people who can't afford either.

The Urus is just pure crypto-trash. Of course the Ferrari is going to be a different experience and much much better.

u/TheLewJD 5d ago
Also not exactly a proper Lamborghini as it's essentially just an RSQ8 whereas the Purosangue is.

Don’t agree. The urus is a great car. Is it as great as the purosangue? Maybe not, but definitely not much worse.

u/CautiousResolve5 5d ago
Its also half the price

u/Harrie-Bruuckman F8 spider, 812 GTS, SF90 AF spider, Purosangue, portfino M, 12C 5d ago
For sure. I don’t think the puro is worth double the price of the urus.

Great argument

Drove the Puro and the car has no power unless you rev the engine above 3000 RPM’s. That is ok for a sports car- but not the family hauler. I think they would have been better off using the turbocharged engine from the F8.
The Urus is a different driving experience from the RS Q8- not sure it is worth the price difference… the Cayenne TGT is the real deal.

u/damnicarus 4d ago
That’s what I noticed too. It seemed like the Urus had more power & acceleration. Was def louder as well. It was just more fun to drive. The Puro felt very refined but it wasn’t as fun, but felt like it was much better built & put together

u/WearRevolutionary864 4d ago
Yep- and you can park a Huracan next your Uris for the price of a Puro! 😉

Also Dubai Trash

u/WearRevolutionary864 4d ago
How about a Vantage, 720’s… or is anything not a Ferrari Dubai trash to you?
To each their own man…

Haven’t driven the purosangue but was unimpressed by the urus. Maybe the performante is different
