Meet the Man who Lives in a Lambo
YouTuber Conner turned a Lamborghini Urus into an overland adventure vehicle and has been living, and exploring, in it for the last year.
Conner says he sold up all his possessions including his house to buy the Lambo and fit it out for the road trip of a lifetime. The 640-horsepower turbocharged V8 super-SUV is hardly the most conventional camper, but by adding a fridge/freezer, extra batteries, a stove and a bed in the back Conner has created a comfy home on the road.
A sturdy roof rack houses spare wheels, fuel, extra storage, LED lights and an awning. Extra off-road ability comes courtesy of a winch and max tracks sand ladders, while he stays connected with a Starlink satellite internet system.
Despite hitting over 170mph on the German autobahn and tackling numerous off-road trails the Lambo has proved pretty reliable with only a vacuum hose failing and the front and rear bumpers sustaining some damage while driving off the beaten track.
So far he has travelled 20,000 miles through 16 countries with another 177 still on his bucket list. You can follow Connor on Instagram and Facebook as well as his YouTube channel.
