The “quintuple 2” license plate is believed to bring lasting wealth, complete happiness, and excellent health throughout the year. Therefore, many people have a fondness for “quintuple 2” license plates. The registration of the license plate number 15K-222.22 for a Lamborghini Urus SUV adds a touch of prestige and elevates both the car and the license plate. This is also the first Lamborghini Urus in Vietnam to bear a “quintuple number” license plate.
The Lamborghini Urus is a luxury SUV that was introduced in December 2017. It pioneered the concept of a “super SUV” or “high-performance SUV.” The Urus is Lamborghini’s first SUV and the first modern-era five-door vehicle in Lamborghini’s history (under the ownership of the Volkswagen Group). It is the brand’s second SUV after the LM002, which was produced from 1986 to 1993.
Built on the Volkswagen Group’s MLB Evo platform, the Urus shares many components with other luxury SUV models from the group, such as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne. With a top speed of 305 km/h, the Urus is considered one of the fastest SUVs in the world. Currently, the standard version of the Lamborghini Urus has ceased production to make way for the high-performance Lamborghini Urus Performante and the mid-life cycle refresh known as the Lamborghini Urus S.
The exterior of the Lamborghini Urus SUV owned by the wealthy individual in Hai Phong with the license plate number 15K-222.22 is painted in an eye-catching yellow color and features various carbon fiber details and black accents. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with 5-spoke wheels painted in black and fitted with yellow brake calipers. What sets the Urus apart is its ability to conquer any road. Furthermore, the luggage compartment has a capacity of 1,596 liters, allowing for ample storage even when the rear seats are folded down. The rear seats of the Lamborghini Urus SUV can be configured either as a standard 3-seat arrangement or with two individual seats along with a dedicated entertainment system upon request.
The Lamborghini Urus super SUV boasts an incredible amount of power, just like its two-door counterparts from the brand. It is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, producing a maximum power of 641 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 850 Nm in the rpm range from 2,250 to 4,500. The power of the Lamborghini Urus is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 4-wheel drive system. As a result, this super SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds before reaching a top speed of 305 km/h. Lamborghini offers a total of 6 driving modes for the Urus, including Strada, Sport, Corsa, Sabbia, Terra, and Neve.
Auctioning car license plates isn’t just about making money.
On the afternoon of October 11th, following discussions, the National Assembly Standing Committee reached an agreement to submit a Draft Resolution on piloting the granting of the right to choose automobile license plates through auctions to the National Assembly, with the aim of granting more authority to the Government.
