New Changes to the Lamborghini Urus Performante

Written by Dealer Site on August 30, 2022. Posted in Blog, Lamborghini, Urus

For many devotees of the automotive industry, Lamborghini needs little to no introduction. The Italian manufacturer has a reputation synonymous with power, performance, and unsurpassed prestige. In recent years, the SUV has enjoyed a surge in popularity, surpassing the minivan and station wagon as the ideal vehicle for the family-oriented consumer. Lamborghini seems the least expected to do so of all the brands to turn their attention to this particular type of vehicle. However, the Lamborghini Urus is just that. And now, some significant changes are being made to the SUV that breaks all the rules.

Two Worlds, One Urus

For those in the market for an SUV, you’ll have the opportunity to not only get behind the Urus wheel but also choose between two different versions. The standard Urus is still available, but Lamborghini has recently unveiled a lighter version with more power, aptly titled the Performante. And, as the name might suggest, performance is the name of the game that Lamborghini is still playing.

Performante Perfection

As previously mentioned, Lamborghini has put this version of their SUV on a slight diet. A carbon-fiber hood and lighter springs have dropped 103 lbs. from the frame of the SUV. While it still weighs a hefty 5,200 lbs, the modification is substantial and geared towards improving performance. This is accentuated by a lowered height to allow for a closer relationship to the road. The clearance reduction of 22 mm and a wider body for added traction and control by 16mm certainly allow for a smoother ride that’s more in tune with the expectation from Lamborghini’s fan base.

Under the Hood and Beyond Expectation

While Lamborghini has never lacked high-octane excitement via their powertrains, the Urus almost seems like a scaled-back engine, especially considering the V-10 and V-12 engines for which the brand is notable. A 4.0L V-8 is what propels the Performante Urus forward. Producing 657 ponies of horsepower, the updated Uros overpowers every SUV that’s currently on the market. With a top speed of 190 MPH and the ability to go from 0-60 in only 3.3 seconds, Lamborghini has single-handedly broken the mold in terms of what the SUV can accomplish.
