The 2024 Lamborghini Urus Performante is a performance-focused variant of the already impressive Urus, combining Lamborghini’s renowned luxury with unparalleled driving dynamics. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that generates 666 horsepower (500 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of torque, making it one of the most powerful SUVs on the market. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and an advanced all-wheel-drive system, allowing the Urus Performante to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph).
To enhance performance, the Urus Performante has been engineered to be 47 kg lighter than the standard model, tipping the scales at 2,020 kg (4,451 lbs). This weight reduction is achieved through the use of lightweight materials and a refined, race-inspired design, including the use of carbon fiber. This makes the SUV more agile and responsive on the road while maintaining the Urus' luxurious comfort and refinement.
The vehicle's suspension system is equipped with adaptive air suspension, providing a balance between comfort and performance. The addition of rear-wheel steering further enhances its handling, improving its maneuverability and cornering capabilities, especially at high speeds. The Urus Performante is also fitted with advanced carbon-ceramic brakes that deliver outstanding stopping power, ensuring safety and precision under all driving conditions.
The exterior features a more aggressive design, with a sportier front bumper, wider wheel arches, and enhanced aerodynamics. The redesigned front splitter and rear spoiler help reduce drag and increase downforce, contributing to greater stability at high speeds. The Urus Performante comes with unique wheels and a more muscular stance, giving it an even more dynamic look.
Inside, the cabin maintains the luxurious feel Lamborghini is known for, with high-quality materials, including leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber accents. Advanced technology is also a key part of the driving experience, including a sophisticated infotainment system, a premium sound system, and driver-assistance features that provide both convenience and safety.
