Lamborghini Urus SE Performante: 812 CV, 312 km/h, and the World’s Most Capable Super SUV Arrives

On July 1, 2026, Automobili Lamborghini officially pulled the wraps off the Urus SE Performante — the most extreme, most capable, and most technologically advanced Super SUV the Italian marque has ever produced. It is not an incremental update. It is a redefinition of what a performance SUV can be.

812 CV, 1,000 Nm, and a Twin-Turbo V8 That Refuses to Apologize

At the heart of the Urus SE Performante sits the same proven 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the Urus SE, but now working in tighter concert with a permanent-magnet electric motor. The result: 812 CV (596 kW) at 6,000 rpm and a monstrous 1,000 Nm of torque available from 2,000 to 5,500 rpm — in every gear, from the moment you ask for it.

That’s a jump of 146 PS and 150 Nm over the previous Urus Performante. The electric motor, positioned upstream of the eight-speed automatic gearbox, acts as a launch boost and enables over 60 km of pure EV driving — meaning this car can sneak out of a residential street silently, then unleash hell on the nearest on-ramp.

The performance figures are unambiguous: 0–100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 10.8 seconds, 312 km/h top speed. Those numbers make the Urus SE Performante the fastest production Super SUV in the world — period.

Design That Means Business: Carbon Fiber, Bold Sportiness, and a Touch of Countach

Lamborghini Design Director Mitja Borkert describes the Urus SE Performante’s aesthetic philosophy as “bold sportiness” — every shape driven by function, every carbon element earning its place through aerodynamic purpose.

The new carbon-fiber hood features a central power dome (a visual nod to Lamborghini heritage) and large S-Duct air intakes that channel hot air away from the radiators while simultaneously cutting front-end lift. The front splitter, bumpers, wheel arches, side skirts, and rear diffuser — the largest ever fitted to a Urus — are all carbon. This is the most extensive carbon fiber bodywork ever put on a production Urus, contributing to the 32 kg weight reduction vs. the SE.

At the rear, two carbon fiber spoilers — upper and lower — work together to deliver a 23% increase in downforce vs. the Urus SE and a 16% increase vs. the previous Performante, all while achieving a 3% drag reduction compared to the SE. At the tail, hexagonal lamp graphics inspired by the legendary Countach seal the visual identity. Two available colorways tell the full story: the explosive new Giallo Crius for max presence, or the sophisticated Verde Hydra matte for those who like their weapon understated.

Inside: Feel Like a Pilot Has Never Meant More

Step inside and the “Feel Like a Pilot” concept that defines Lamborghini’s cabin philosophy reaches its highest expression here. The Urus SE Performante introduces a new 12.3-inch central HMI touchscreen with updated graphics borrowed from the Revuelto supercar, paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. But the real showstopper is the aviation-inspired mechanical button panel — a tactile, purposeful array of controls that makes every interaction feel like preflight.

The interior features CorsaTex by Dinamica microfiber — a sustainable, performance-oriented upholstery — as standard, saving an additional 2.7 kg over conventional leather trim. Y-shaped anodized aluminum details, a new bespoke steering wheel with a carbon fiber bezel, and contrasting red accents throughout reinforce the car’s track-tuned personality without sacrificing daily-use comfort.

AURA Suspension, 6D Sensor, and Braking That Rewrites the Rules

The Urus SE Performante doesn’t just go faster — it handles smarter. The new AURA dual-chamber (2K2V) air suspension system cuts body roll in half compared to the previous Urus Performante while simultaneously reducing vibrations by 25%. That’s a rare engineering combination: more performance, more comfort, in the same package.

The real engineering marvel is the 6D sensor — first debuted on the one-off Fenomeno at Monterey 2025 — now integrated near the center of gravity of a production Urus. It measures six physical parameters simultaneously: accelerations along all three spatial axes and angular velocities for pitch, roll, and yaw. Working in concert with the new Integrated Power Brake (IPB) system, this technology enables predictive brake management: the system doesn’t react to what’s happening — it anticipates what’s about to happen.

The results in numbers: 10% more braking power, 12% faster system response, and the 200–0 km/h stopping distance cut to under 130 meters. Traction control and the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) lateral stability system also benefit, making sudden lane changes 6% faster and eliminating the oscillations that would unsettle lesser SUVs.

And then there’s Rally mode — a new driving mode exclusive to the SE Performante, joining Strada, Sport, Corsa, and EV. It’s designed for maximum excitement on gravel, dirt, or any loose surface. In a car that weighs 2,473 kg and produces 1,000 Nm, Rally mode is not a gimmick. It’s a statement.

The Super SUV, Completed

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann put it plainly at the reveal: “Forty years ago, Lamborghini created the concept of the Super SUV with the legendary LM002. Today, with Urus SE Performante, we are taking the concept of the Super SUV to its peak.”

That’s not marketing copy. With 812 CV, a 3.3-second century sprint, PHEV efficiency, active carbon aero, a 6D sensor borrowed from a flagship one-off, and enough luxury inside to justify the trip — the Urus SE Performante is the answer to every question the Super SUV segment has ever raised. It’s the most complete performance SUV ever built. Full stop.
