The Lamborghini Urus is Lamborghini’s number one selling car. It comes as no surprise that they unveiled a more powerful and strikingly aggressive version of the Italian SUV.
The Urus Performante is the sporty evolution of the first-ever Super Sport Utility Vehicle with its own distinctive character and a unique sporty and lightweight design.
What’s new?
The exterior design of the Urus Performante is more aggressive with a lot of the components from carbon fibre, which allows for a significant weight reduction, a key feature on the Urus Performante.
It has a new bumper with more aggressive slats resembling the Huracan Performante. A full carbon bonnet as well as an Akrapovic Titanium Racing exhaust with a deep roar, rounds of the picture.
The Interior of the New Lamborghini Urus Performante is more driver focused for an even more engaging driving experience. Inside you will find a lot of Alcantara and carbon fibre.
The Urus Performante is powered by the 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbocharged engine, which develops 490 kW and 850 Nm of torque, which gives the driver an enhanced driving experience. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 306 km/h.
It is available immediately in South Africa, and the Urus Performante will set you back R4 795 000.
