Lamborghini Urus the World’s Fastest SUV

Lamborghini Urus the World’s Fastest SUV

It seems there’s a battle going on in the SUV world and it’s getting vicious by the day. A few months ago, Jeep released a Grand Cherokee known as the Trackhawk that does 0-100 Km/h in 3.6 sec. Well, as if that in itself was not astounding, Lamborghini has upped the ante by unleashing a beast by the name of Urus that does the 0-100 Km/h lap in the same 3.6 sec. The Lamborghini Urus comes with a 4.0 Litre twin-turbo engine with a maximum power output of 478 kW/650 HP linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission. For all intents and purposes, the Urus is a sports car masquerading as an SUV. It will definitely cost top money, but it won’t be too long until we see it in Kenya.

Toyota KDSS Technology

Toyota KDSS Technology

The Toyota Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) is a technology that uses hydraulics to adjust front and rear stabilizer bars. It solves the classic 4×4 dilemma of stabilizer bars. The dilemma is that for off-road driving, stabilizer bars are not desirable as they impede suspension travel and wheel articulation. For on-road driving, stabilizer bars are highly desirable as they prevent a vehicle from rolling over at high speed. Most modern 4x4s do not achieve their full off-road potential due to stabilizer bars. Then enters the KDSS. It works by automatically stiffening the stabilizer bars at high speed to limit or negate body roll. At lower speeds, the KDSS softens the stabilizer bars to allow for suspension long travel and greater wheel articulation. A vehicle fitted with KDSS is very stable on the road and highly capable off the road. It simply offers the best…
