Lamborghini Urus SE Performante: the Super SUV at its peak

The fastest Urus ever redefines the Super SUV concept, combining extreme performance, driving precision and uncompromising comfort

Sant'Agata Bolognese, July 1, 2026 – Automobili Lamborghini presents the Urus SE Performante, the high-performance derivative of the plug-in hybrid Super SUV, which sets a new benchmark in its category for performance, driving dynamics, and aerodynamic efficiency, while preserving outstanding comfort thanks to innovative technical solutions applied to the suspension system.

The Urus SE Performante is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with a permanent-magnet electric motor, delivering the highest combined system output ever achieved in the model's history: 812 CV (596 kW) and a maximum of 1000 Nm of torque. The extensive use of carbon-fiber elements in the bodywork – including the new hood and front and rear bumpers – improves the already exceptional power-to-weight ratio (3 kg/CV) and, working in synergy with the two rear spoilers, enhances aerodynamic efficiency and brake cooling.

In addition to the increase in power and torque, the vehicle introduces the AURA dual-chamber air suspension system to the Urus range, which halves body roll during fast driving and reduces vibrations by 25% compared to the previous generation of Urus Performante.

Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said: “Forty years ago, Lamborghini created the concept of the Super SUV with the legendary LM002. In 2012, we remained faithful to our spirit of innovation by unveiling the Urus concept, once again redefining the boundaries of the segment. Today, with Urus SE Performante, we are taking the concept of the Super SUV to its peak. This model represents the highest level of performance, driving precision and emotional engagement ever achieved by Urus, while preserving the versatility and everyday usability that have established it as a benchmark in its segment. It is the ultimate expression of the Super SUV.”

Compared to the Urus SE, the Performante version introduces Rally driving mode, specifically calibrated to deliver maximum driving excitement on loose surfaces, joining Strada, Sport, and Corsa modes, as well as EV mode for fully electric driving. All these features make the Urus SE Performante the fastest Super SUV in the world: 0–100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 10.8 seconds, and a top speed of 312 km/h.

Design

The design was developed around the concept of “bold sportiness”. The new carbon-fiber hood incorporates a central power dome and S-Duct air intakes, while the omega-shaped graphic signature and redesigned front air intakes emphasise width and road presence. The extensive use of exposed carbon fiber is the most ever featured on an Urus. New 23-inch wheels feature an intersecting Y-spoke design, and the rear combines a taller carbon-fiber spoiler, an aviation-inspired rear wing and the largest diffuser ever designed for an Urus, with hexagonal geometries inspired by the Countach. Design Director Mitja Borkert said: “While the Urus SE represents the elegant face of sportiness, the Urus SE Performante design is purely inspired by performance and our philosophy 'We give adrenaline a shape.'”

Aerodynamics

The Urus SE Performante achieves a 3% reduction in aerodynamic drag compared to the Urus SE while increasing downforce by 23% over the SE and 16% over the previous Performante, including a 22% increase in front downforce via a new front splitter. A new cooling system with hood S-Duct vents, fender outlets and enlarged wheel-arch vents optimises powertrain cooling, while a dedicated NACA duct improves brake cooling efficiency by 8%.

Powertrain

The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 works with a synchronous electric motor positioned upstream of the eight-speed automatic transmission, fed by a 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery beneath the load floor, allowing over 60 km of full-electric driving. The all-wheel-drive system combines an electronically controlled central clutch with an electronically controlled self-locking rear differential for on-demand oversteer. Combined output is up 146 PS and 150 Nm over the previous Urus Performante.

Weight and chassis

A 32 kg weight reduction versus the Urus SE brings curb weight to 2,473 kg, aided by carbon-fiber body components, a titanium Akrapovic exhaust system (over 10 kg saved), the Integrated Power Brake system and CorsaTex by Dinamica interior trim. The six-degrees-of-freedom 6D sensor, first seen on the Fenomeno, works with the IPB to deliver a 10% increase in braking power, 12% faster response and 200–0 km/h braking in under 130 metres. The AURA 2K2V dual-chamber air suspension reduces roll gradient by 55% and comfort-related vibrations by 25%, while track width grows by 16 mm.

Driving modes, sound and tires

The Tamburo selector offers Strada, Sport, Corsa and the new Rally mode alongside EV, Hybrid, Recharge and Performance strategies. The standard titanium Akrapovic exhaust with independent exhaust lines and tuned Helmholtz resonators delivers Lamborghini's signature sound with a 10 kg weight saving. Dedicated Pirelli P Zero tyres are available in 22-inch and 23-inch sizes with Pirelli Elect technology, plus semi-slick 22-inch Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres for track use.
