GT63s vs Urus

All -

Am in need of your detailed thoughts.

Looking to buy a (fast) family car.

Initially aiming for G63. Wait time is still 2 years or more. Too long.

Given that, now thinking between GT63s vs Urus. Both can haul the family around. Both fun.

Didn’t love the look of either at the beginning but both growing on me.

Any detailed thoughts on which to go for? How is reliability of one vs the other? Would u buy vs lease this car?

seems like w options, GT is just over 200k. Whereas Urus is more like 270k. So there’s the cost difference too.

ive never driven or been in either.

or wait for the new S73 to come out?

and if GT, def go for the GT63s or wise to consider the GT53?

thank u all!! More details the better.

if you want a Urus, by a Audi RSQ8. It’s the same car underneath the sheet metal.

20 Lamborghini Urus, 2021 G63
@lamshanks I've had both and still have a URUS and they're two different cars. I don't have any little ones, but IMHO the URUS is amazing for what it is, pricey yes but they've been holding value pretty well in this market and even before depreciated I'd say less than the GT63's. I've driven the RSQ8, and it's not the same. Cool car, but the luxury version for a lot cheaper yes, but it depends on what you're going for.......family car, or a family car that everyone stares at, chases you down for video and pictures. I'm not a big fan of that, but it's a great conversation piece to meet people. I'm the ******* that pulls up to the dog park in it...... The GT63S I had was great, but I wouldn't say it's family/kid friendly with 4 seats. I'm a die hard AMG guy, but the URUS has impressed me.

Having said all that, have you not looked at the GLE63 S?
