Former Indian cricketer and car enthusiast Sachin Tendulkar has added a new luxury sports SUV to his collection. Indian cricket legend has bought a Lamborghini Urus S in India for Rs 4.22 crore (ex-showroom). Probably, Sachin Tendulkar is one of the first Indian celebrities to own the new version of the luxury SUV. It is to be noted that the ‘Master Blaster’ owns several luxury cars, and the new Urus S is an extension of his enthusiasm.
Sachin Tendulkar’s new SUV comes with several upgrades as compared to its previous versions. However, in terms of looks, the car is more or less similar to its predecessors. Some of the changes on the exterior include a bonnet with cooling vents and design changes to the rear and front bumpers among other things. Talking about the exterior, Sachin seems to have chosen the same color scheme as his former teammate Rohit Sharma’s Lamborghini.

Designed for performance, the SUV gets air suspension system with fixed coil setup for better handling. Also, the car offers multiple driving modes for different terrains like Sabbia (Sand), Neve (Snow) and Terra (Mud). The Italian marquee recently launched a facelifted version of its best-selling car in India and it is positioned just below the Performante variant.
The Urus S is the first Lamborghini car to enter Sachin Tendulkar’s garage. However, this is not the first sports SUV owned by the Indian cricketer. He also owns a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. Apart from this, the cricketer is often seen driving a car on the streets of Mumbai. It is worth mentioning that the German SUV falls in the same category as the Urus S. (Photo by Team-BHP)
The reason why Sachin Tendulkar chose the Urus S as his new car can perhaps be explained by its performance. A 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo petrol engine powers the sports SUV, similar to the Cayenne Turbo S. However, in the Lamborghini, the engine has been tuned to produce 666hp. Mated to an 8-speed torque converter gearbox, it can propel the car from 0-100 kmph in 3.6 to 3.5 seconds.
Apart from Porsche and Lamborghini SUVs, Sachin Tendulkar owns several luxury cars like BMW 7-Series Li, BMW X5M, BMW i8, BMW 5-Series and others.
