Lamborghini Unveils Urus SE Performante with 812 hp Hybrid Power

Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the Urus SE Performante, the most powerful and fastest version of its plug-in hybrid Super SUV yet. Building on the Urus SE, the new Performante brings more power, sharper dynamics, improved aerodynamics and a lighter body, while retaining the everyday comfort that has made the Urus one of the brand’s biggest success stories.

More Power Than Ever

Power comes from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 812hp and 1,000Nm of torque.

Performance figures are suitably explosive.

Performance highlights:

• 812hp and 1,000Nm
• 0-100kmph in 3.3 seconds
• 0-200kmph in 10.8 seconds
• Top speed of 312kmph
• Over 60km electric-only range

Power is sent to all four wheels through an updated eight-speed automatic gearbox, while Lamborghini has recalibrated the software for quicker responses and improved driver engagement.

Sharper, Lighter, and More Aerodynamic

The Urus SE Performante receives extensive use of carbon fibre across the bonnet, bumpers, wheel arches and diffuser, helping improve its power-to-weight ratio to 3kg per horsepower.

Aerodynamic upgrades include a redesigned front splitter, larger air intakes, dual rear spoilers and the biggest rear diffuser ever fitted to a Urus. Lamborghini claims the new SUV generates 23 percent more downforce than the standard Urus SE.

A new AURA dual-chamber air suspension system also debuts on the Urus range, reducing body roll by 55 percent while improving ride comfort by 25 percent.

Rally Mode Joins the Party

Unlike the standard Urus SE, the Performante introduces a dedicated Rally mode, allowing drivers to enjoy the SUV on loose surfaces.

Driving modes now include:

• Strada
• Sport
• Corsa
• Rally
• EV Mode

Lamborghini has also fitted a new titanium Akrapovic exhaust as standard, giving the hybrid SUV a louder and more distinctive soundtrack.

Inside the Cabin

The cabin adopts a sportier theme with more exposed carbon fibre, new CorsaTex upholstery, a revised steering wheel and an updated 12.3-inch infotainment system inspired by the Revuelto. The driver also gets a fully digital instrument cluster and model-specific telemetry functions.

Final Take

The Urus SE Performante proves that electrification doesn’t have to dilute performance. Instead, Lamborghini has used hybrid technology to make its Super SUV quicker, sharper, and even more engaging. On paper, it comfortably raises the benchmark in the performance SUV segment.
