Lamborghini Urus SE Performante Unveiled with 812 CV Plug-in Hybrid Power

Automobili Lamborghini unveiled the Lamborghini Urus SE Performante on July 1, expanding its high-performance SUV lineup with a new plug-in hybrid model. The vehicle combines a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor to produce a combined output of 812 CV at 6,000 rpm and 1,000 Nm of torque available between 2,000 and 5,500 rpm. This powertrain is designed to deliver strong acceleration while also providing electric driving capability without changing the vehicle's core performance characteristics.

The hybrid system incorporates a 25.9 kWh battery that enables the SUV to travel for more than 60 km in electric-only mode. Performance remains a primary focus, with the Lamborghini Urus SE Performante accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and from 0–200 km/h in 10.8 seconds. The SUV reaches a top speed of 312 km/h while channeling power through an 8-speed automatic transmission and an advanced all-wheel-drive system equipped with an electronically controlled center clutch.

Exterior revisions focus on aerodynamic efficiency and weight reduction. The redesigned front incorporates carbon-fiber components for the hood and bumpers, together with larger air intakes that improve airflow. Additional carbon fiber is used for the roof, wheel arches, side skirts, and rear diffuser to reduce mass. The model also introduces a larger carbon-fiber rear spoiler and the new AURA dual-chamber air suspension, contributing to improved stability and overall vehicle dynamics.

Inside the cabin, the SUV receives a refreshed technology package centered around a 12.3-inch touchscreen featuring an updated interface. The interior also includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, aviation-style controls, a carbon-fiber steering wheel, and newly designed upholstery. These updates are intended to improve driver interaction while maintaining the premium character associated with the performance SUV.

The Lamborghini Urus SE Performante introduces several chassis and braking enhancements. A new 6D sensor measures acceleration and vehicle movement across six directions to improve handling and stability. The lighter Integrated Power Brake (IPB) system increases braking performance by 10%, while the new AURA 2K2V dual-chamber air suspension with dual-chamber air springs enhances chassis response, handling precision, and ride comfort for a broader range of driving conditions.
