Lamborghini Urus Performante sets new standard for Super SUVs

MANILA: Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the Lamborghini Urus Performante, which features a superior styling that underlines the super sports engineering within.

The Lamborghini Urus Performante has already set a record in the production SUV category on the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Road by reaching the finish line in 10:32.064.

“The Urus Performante takes the supreme performance and distinctive looks of Lamborghini’s groundbreaking Super SUV to the next level, retaining its luxurious versatility and delivering the most engaging driving experience: not only on road but in every environment, distinguished through an alluring design that denotes new benchmarks for driving dynamism in what is already a remarkable car. The Urus set a new standard at its launch, taking Lamborghini’s design DNA and technological talent and delivering the world’s first Super SUV for a new era: the Urus Performante sets the bar even higher for the SUV segment,” Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephan Winkelmann stated.

The Lamborghini Urus Performante features an edgy and prominent bonnet and bumper design that combines the super sports DNA with the Urus’ elegance. With the extensive use of composite materials, the Lamborghini Urus Performante is now the model with the highest number of carbon fiber parts in its segment.

“The Urus Performante’s very bold and characterful design perfectly integrates the improved aerodynamics incorporating the front bumper’s air curtain, with significant visual differentiation including the new lightweight carbon fiber engine bonnet and extensive use of carbon fiber throughout, reminding of its ‘Performante’ heritage. This benchmarking Urus is designed as a unique driver-oriented Super SUV,” Automobili Lamborghini Design Head Mitja Borkert said.

On the inside, the Lamborghini Urus Performante comes with a Nero Cosmus black Alcantara cockpit, a new hexagonal seat stitching design, and the Performante trim. Dedicated color and trim options include extension of the Performante trim on doors, roof lining, seat backrests, and rear wall. Additional Ad Personam customization options include interior matte carbon fiber accents, red door handles, and a customized kickplate with the Ad Personam emblem.

The Lamborghini Urus Performante is powered by a V8 twin-turbo engine that produces 666 cv of power and 850 Nm of torque. It accelerates from a standstill to 100 kph in just 3.3 seconds and brakes from 100 km to a standstill in 32.9 m.

The weight is reduced by 47 kg, resulting in a best-in-class weight-to-power ratio of 3,2. Aerodynamic efficiency is improved and overall downforce is increased by 8%.

The driver can choose among the re-engineered drive modes: Strada, Sport, Corsa, and Rally.

“The Urus Performante takes to the road as a lightweight, honed athlete. Its muscular stance, distinctive design, V8 twin-turbo powerplant, and lightweight sports exhaust establish it through sight, sound, and experience as the most exciting contender on every road, track, and loose surface. This is a super sports car driver’s SUV,” Automobili Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr stated.

The Lamborghini Urus Performante is priced at $260,676. Deliveries will begin by the end of 2022.
