The Lamborghini Urus Performante

When Lamborhgini entered the SUV market, many purists were upset. They thought the brand known for being hyper-exotic was lessening the exclusivity it is known for and entering into a more “normal” segment that Lamborghini has simply never been in. Lamborghini is... Lamborghini. The brand known for being over the top, hard edges, pushing to the extreme in every possible way...what were they thinking?

The Lamborghini Urus was an over the top success. In 2021, Automobili Lamborghini recorded its best sales results ever, with 8,405 cars delivered worldwide with the Urus leading the deliveries. We purists were wrong and once again, Lamborhgini forged forward and elevated a segment to a new stratosphere...enter the Urus Performante.
The Urus Performante is the most exclusive model in the Urus line-up. With a whopping 667 horsepower, a 0-62 MPH in 3.3 seconds, and a top speed of 190mph, this is definitely a supercar...er, a super SUV. Also contributing to the Performante’s incredible speed is a 104-pound weight reduction, utilizing more carbon fiber in the body panels and the new titanium exhaust that raises the sound level and also reduces weight. It is a symphony of Lamborghini engineering and fury at full throttle. Once again, Lamborhgini has raised the bar. Well done.
From Lamborghini:
“The Urus Performante takes the supreme performance and distinctive looks of Lamborghini’s ground-breaking 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,” says Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO. “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.”
