The Urus SE Performante is the fastest and most powerful Urus ever built — the high-performance evolution of Lamborghini’s plug-in hybrid Super SUV, setting a new benchmark for performance, driving precision and aerodynamic efficiency while retaining the comfort that has always defined the Urus.
At its heart is a “dual-heart” architecture: a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 working with a permanent-magnet electric motor to produce a combined 812 CV (597 kW) and 1,000 Nm of torque from 2,000 rpm — an increase of 146 PS and 150 Nm over the previous Urus Performante. The result is 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 10.8 seconds, and a top speed of 312 km/h, managed through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system with electronically controlled central clutch and self-locking rear differential. A 25.9 kWh battery also enables over 60 km of fully electric driving at speeds up to 130 km/h.
Every gram has been scrutinised. Extensive carbon fibre — across the hood, roof, wheel arches, side skirts and rear diffuser — combines with a titanium exhaust to cut 32 kg from the previous Urus SE, bringing curb weight to 2,473 kg and a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 3 kg/CV.
Every exterior element on the Urus SE Performante serves a function as much as a look. Large S-Duct air intakes on the new carbon-fibre hood feed an all-new cooling system while sharpening the front end’s presence, and a new central power dome recalls Lamborghini heritage. A new, more efficient front splitter and a taller, more integrated carbon-fibre spoiler work with the largest diffuser ever fitted to an Urus to deliver a 23% increase in downforce over the Urus SE — while aerodynamic drag is reduced by 3%. A new NACA duct, working with the front splitter, also improves brake cooling efficiency by 8%.
New 23-inch wheels with an intersecting Y-spoke design and widened wheel arches emphasise a wider, more planted stance, while hexagonal rear detailing nods to the Countach. New colourways — from the dynamic Giallo Crius to the more understated Verde Hydra matt — reflect the dual character of a car built for both road and track.
Underpinning the Urus SE Performante’s dynamics is the new AURA dual-chamber air suspension (2K2V), which varies axle stiffness across driving modes via dual-valve dampers — halving body roll during spirited driving and cutting vibration by 25% versus the previous Urus Performante. A track widened by 16 mm sharpens turn-in and high-speed stability further.
A six-degrees-of-freedom sensor — carried over from the Fenomeno one-off — sits at the car’s centre of gravity, feeding data from eight accelerometers to the new Integrated Power Brake system. The result: 10% more braking power, 12% faster response, 9% greater maximum deceleration, and a 200-0 km/h stopping distance under 130 metres.
The Tamburo selector brings Rally mode to Urus for the first time — calibrated for loose and gravel surfaces — alongside Strada, Sport, Corsa and full-EV driving, plus Hybrid and Recharge strategies, so the Urus SE Performante adapts instantly from comfort cruising to track driving to off-road.
Inside, a new 12.3-inch central touchscreen and matching digital instrument cluster bring an updated Human Machine Interface inspired by the Revuelto. Y-shaped anodised aluminium detailing, an aviation-inspired mechanical button panel and sustainable CorsaTex by Dinamica trim reinforce the driver-focused “Feel Like a Pilot” cabin, finished off by a new steering wheel with an exclusive carbon-fibre bezel.
Developed with Akrapovič, the standard titanium exhaust system removes the traditional X-cross connection between cylinder banks, giving each side an independent voice for a purer, more structured exhaust note — 10 kg lighter than before — that shifts character across every driving mode, from a smooth, extended bubble in Sport to a sharper, more frequent note in Corsa. Urus SE Performante rides on dedicated Pirelli P Zero tyres in 22″ and 23″ sizes, with semi-slick 22″ Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres available for maximum track performance.
