Practically a decade on, so much has modified with Lamborghini’s first SUV. The unique Urus debuted with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which spawned an much more highly effective Performante trim. In 2024, the restyled Urus SE arrived, now with a plug-in-hybrid powertrain.
Immediately, that lineage continues with the brand new Urus SE Performante.
The quickest and strongest Urus mannequin up to now, the SE Performante packs the identical twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 plug-in-hybrid powertrain as the usual SE. However in true Performante vogue, it’s boosted to be much more highly effective.

Quickest SUV In The World
The Urus SE Performante makes 800 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque—11 extra hp than the usual SE, and 37 extra pound-feet. That makes it the quickest super-SUV on the planet by Lamborghini’s measure, sending it to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.3 seconds and on to a high pace of 194 miles per hour.
The V8 engine is paired with a synchronous electrical motor with energy equipped by a 25.9 kilowatt-hour battery pack. That battery is housed beneath the load flooring to enhance the Urus SE Performante’s heart of gravity, and it permits the efficiency SUV to drive on electrical energy alone for as much as 37 miles.
The identical eight-speed transmission manages all that energy, however right here it’s been recalibrated to enhance response occasions and reduce torque lag. It’s paired with a typical all-wheel-drive system with an electronically managed heart clutch.
An upgraded dual-chamber air suspension additionally improves the Performante’s talents within the corners, with physique roll correlating by a whopping 55 p.c over the usual SE. That additionally coincides with a 25-percent discount in physique vibrations.
All informed, the Urus SE Performante is 6 p.c faster when maneuvering, and has a 12-percent faster response time. Pair that with new Pirelli P Zero Tires—measuring 22 or 23 inches—and grip additionally improves by as much as 6 p.c.

Lightweighting And Aerodynamics
After all, with any true Lamborghini efficiency mannequin, it’s not nearly energy. That’s why the Urus SE Performante includes a bevy of aerodynamic and weight upgrades meant to enhance its efficiency each on the street and on the observe.
Due to a hefty use of carbon fiber on the hood, roof, facet skirts, and elsewhere, the SE Performante is 70 kilos lighter than the standard Urus SE. The light-weight muffler and tailpipes as a part of the brand new Akrapovič exhaust system shed 22 kilos, whereas the Built-in Energy Brake system shaves one other 8.8 kilos, and the improved NVH bundle drops one other 7.3 kilos.
The Urus SE Performante has a complete curb weight of 5,452 kilos.
The SE Performante additionally boasts a 3 p.c discount in complete aerodynamic drag in comparison with the Urus SE, in addition to a rise of 16 p.c in downforce over the earlier Performante, and 23 p.c over the usual Urus SE. The carbon fiber spoiler and diffusers guarantee high-speed stability on the rear, whereas a wider entrance finish improves battery cooling and airflow. Even the brake cooling is 8 p.c extra environment friendly than on the Urus SE.

Pricing
One factor we nonetheless don’t know in regards to the Urus SE Performante is how a lot it’s going to price. With the usual Urus SE beginning at simply over $252,000, and the earlier Performante coming in at round $270,000, don’t anticipate the Performante mannequin to come back low-cost.
A base value of round $300,000 isn’t out of the realm of risk.
Motor1’s Take: With the Urus SE PHEV changing the usual model, it was solely a matter of time earlier than the brand new Performante confirmed up.
