First launched in 2017 as the first super SUV, the Lamborghini Urus has been given a powerful elevation with the arrival of the Urus S and Urus Performant.
When we think of Lamborghinis, we tend to think of powerful if not impractical whips that capture all the wrong kinds of attention. That was until the Urus came on the scene. Suddenly the Italian marque was producing a ride that was both sexy and practical, and that legacy has just taken its next step.
The new Automobili Lamborghini Urus S – successor to the model that thrust the Raging Bull brand into the SUV scene – delivers increased power combined with luxurious versatility and presence while the Urus Performant is for drivers seeking maximum sports performance.

The twin-turbo V8 engine with increased power to 666 CV matches that of the Urus S’ Performante stablemate, delivering an improved weight-to-power ratio of 3.3 kg/CV. Acceleration is improved, with the Urus S propelling from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 12.5 seconds. With a top speed of 305 km/h, the Urus S brakes from 100 km/h back to zero in just 33.7m. Its twin-turbo engine delivers 850 Nm of maximum torque already at 2,300 rpm up to a maximum 6,000 rpm while a retuned exhaust system reminds that the Super SUV is a true Lamborghini, with a more distinct sound at start-up and a sharper note in each drive mode.
The Urus’ chassis, with adaptive air suspension, ensures super sports driving enjoyment but smooth handling on road surfaces in STRADA, SPORT, CORSA and EGO drive modes, with immediately-available torque response and body balancing according to the particular requirements of its off-road drive selectors: TERRA, NEVE and SABBIA.

With formidable versatility in its driving personalities over any road in any condition, the Urus S is the ultimate lifestyle Super SUV.
More Than Just Muscle
The Urus S introduces specific and sophisticated design enhancements advocating its sporty but luxurious lifestyle persona, distinguishing the Super SUV’s presence in every environment. A significant increase in options in terms of colours, trim, wheels, style packages and special details also allows customization across the spectrum, from understated style to maximum sportiness.
