The Lamborghini Urus Performante is a focused evolution of the standard Urus, tweaked in every detail to offer even more performance. The 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine now produces 666hp – a 16hp boost – and weight is cut by 47kg to deliver the best power-to-weight ratio in its segment. Urus Performance is capable of launching from 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds – three-tenths quicker than the standard car.
New steel springs lower the Performante’s chassis by 20 mm, while the track is widened by 16mm, with new wider carbon fibre wheelarches to accommodate it. Forged 22-inch lightweight wheels with titanium bolts are standard, with 23-inch units available – both fitted with specially developed Pirelli Trofeo R tyres.
Visually, the Performante is immediately distinguished by a range of functional upgrades that subtly convey its additional performance. Wider air curtains at the front from part of a raft of aerodynamic changes, while the optional bare carbon fibre bonnet is a visible representation of the Performante’s dedication to lightweighting. It features the most carbon fibre parts of any car in this segment.
Moving rearwards, you notice the optional bare carbon fibre roof and a new finned spoiler – inspired by the Aventador SVJ – which helps to increase rear downforce by 38%. The lower rear bumper and diffuser is also in carbon fibre with a lightweight titanium Akrapoviç sports exhaust as standard, revealing the full aural drama of the newly tweaked V8.
