Lamborghini Urus 4.0 V8 Performante

Some SUVs ask permission; the Urus Performante arrives, takes command and leaves. This 2023 example, with 11,000 km, is the most uncompromising take on Sant'Agata's super SUV.

The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 delivers 666 CV and 850 Nm through an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. It is 47 kg lighter, swaps air suspension for firmer, lower steel springs and adds a Rally mode for loose surfaces. 0 to 100 km/h: 3.3 seconds.

Unveiled in August 2022, it arrived with a record: a pre-production Performante climbed Pikes Peak in 10:32.064, a new production SUV best, 17.8 seconds clear of the Bentayga's 2018 time. The Urus was born in 2017, the brand's second SUV after the LM002.
