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.
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:
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.
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.

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