Lamborghini Urus - the Super SUV!?

The level of lightweight, aerodynamic design and sportier driving dynamics makes the Lamborghini Urus the new benchmark for Super SUV.

Automobili Lamborghini raises the bar with its new SUV, dubbed “SUPER SUV” – Lamborghini Urus Performante. Its sportiness and design emphasizes performance. The lightweight and aerodynamic features makes it the new benchmark. The Urus’ prowess definitely carry out action on street, track and loose surfaces. It set a new record in the production SUV category on the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Road, during the test. It crosses a remarkable time of 10:32.064 doing a

AT A GLANCE

The bumper design is prominently sharper. It highlights more on super sports aesthetics. It resembles the genetics of the Urus’ innate elegance. Its composite carbon-fiber materials make this car aerodynamic and lighter.

The hood keeps the deep cuts in the hood lines for better front air-intake. It goes down to the new front bumper delivering an increase of engine cooling. Indeed, this is necessary for any car. The roof comes in an optional carbon fiber. Similarly available in Lamborghini super sports models such as Huracán Performante and Super Trofeo.

Air that passes through the front wheels further draws out in the new air curtain that decreases air drag. This includes the new bonnet’s air outlet that contributes to the overall aerodynamics efficiency. Moreover, it helps the engine cooling system while increasing rear downforce by 38%.

THE STANCE

The chassis is made lower by 20 mm and the wheel track is wider by 16 mm. This is made possible with the new steel springs and a wider carbon fiber wheel arches. In addition, it can fit in larger diameter wheels of an optional 23” or forged 22” lightweight wheels. Of course, Pirelli tires were specially developed for this car.

The rear spoiler of the Urus Performante is equally distinctive. Its carbon fiber fins are purposely-built to increase downward force. It takes design inspiration from the Aventador SVJ. The bumper and diffuser is a lightweight titanium Akrapovič sports exhaust. It comes as standard, adding to its characteristic.

Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO

“The Urus Performante takes the supreme performance and distinctive looks of Lamborghini’s ground-breaking Super SUV to the next level, retaining its luxurious versatility and delivering the most engaging driving experience: not only on road but in every environment, distinguished through an alluring design that denotes new benchmarks for driving dynamism in what is already a remarkable car.”

“The Urus set a new standard at its launch, taking Lamborghini’s design DNA and technological talent and delivering the world’s first Super SUV for a new era: the Urus Performante sets the bar even higher for the SUV segment.”

Mitja Borkert, Head of Design

“The Urus Performante’s very bold and characterful design perfectly integrates the improved aerodynamics incorporating the front bumper’s air curtain, with significant visual differentiation including the new lightweight carbon fiber engine bonnet and extensive use of carbon fiber throughout reminding of its ‘Performante’ heritage. This benchmarking Urus is designed as a unique driver-oriented Super SUV,.

Rouven Mohr, Chief Technical Officer

“The Urus Performante takes to the road as a lightweight, honed athlete. Its muscular stance, distinctive design, V8 twin turbo powerplant and lightweight sports exhaust establish it through sight, sound and experience as the most exciting contender on every road, track and loose surface. This is a super sports car driver’s SUV.”
