The Italian Government will be granting incentives to Lamborghini to make the company build an SUV in the country.
There is a possibility of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's government offering tax breaks and other benefits amounting to $111m to ensure the final assembly of the Lamborghini Urus takes place in Italy, according to Bloomberg.
In exchange for the tax breaks, the company would hire 300 new workers to build the crossover, reported Autoblog, though sources say that most of the work could be landed at the same plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The prototype of the car was launched by the company at the 2012 Beijing auto show, with the company working on refining a business case to win approval from its parent organization Volkswagen's Audi to commence production.
Lamborghini wants to get an approval for the design by end of June.
Autonews quoted Lamborghini as saying in a statement: "We haven't decided on the series production of the Lamborghini Urus yet. Once this has been clarified, the question about the production location will be posed."
The Urus will be Lamborghini's first SUV since the boxy LM002.
