Lamborghini's new Urus SE Performante, set for the 2027 model year, is a high-performance plug-in hybrid SUV that breaks the 800-HP barrier with 801 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. This makes it the most powerful Urus to date, surpassing the previous Performante by 144 horsepower.1234578
The vehicle accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds and boasts a top speed of 194 mph. It features a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine paired with an electric motor, and a 25.9kWh lithium-ion battery that allows for over 37 miles of electric-only driving.
Lamborghini has also focused on enhancing performance with a new aero package that increases downforce by 16 percent compared to the first Performante, and a new dual-chamber air suspension system that reduces body roll during fast driving. The weight has been reduced by about 70 pounds, although the SUV still weighs 5472 pounds.
CEO Stephan Winkelmann emphasized the importance of this model, stating, "It is very important. It's a game changer." The Urus has been pivotal for Lamborghini, accounting for about 50% of the brand's global sales annually, with total sales nearing 11,000 vehicles last year. The Urus SE Performante is expected to retail for around $300,000 when it goes on sale in late 2026.69
