Lamborghini does it again, with SUV styling and performance
In 2023, the age of SUVS are all the craze. Additionally, it is no secret that EV’S and hybrids are also a part of the auto consumer conversation. While luxury and performance are at the top of consumers’ pocket books, Lamborghini has no concern delivering a slice of excellence to their fleet and enthusiasts.
With a base price of more than a quarter of a million dollars, the Lamborghini Urus delivers again with its Performante package addition. Slammed with a 4.0L V8 Bi-turbo engine, producing 657 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque and coming in with a curb weight of 4,740 lbs. Permanent 4WD with limited slip center differentiation with asymmetrical distribution and active Torque-vectoring Rear Differential ensured spinning the tires was not an easy task.
Riding on 23 inch Pirelli P-zero tires and Shiny Pelope wheels, we noticed a great ride and smooth overall experience for riders and drivers alike. Carbon fiber abound added more than $10K in options to the total price while we noticed power seats, advanced 3D Bang and Olufsen sound system which was punchy and powerful.
In our exclusive interview with Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann at the 2022 NY Auto Show, the Lamborghini Urus was certainly top of mind. “The Urus delivers exactly what luxury consumers are looking for, the dependability of Lamborghinis, the styling of modern day SUV’S and the overall power Lamborghini can pack into their vehicles.” Winkelmann mentioned. As the past President of Bugatti Automobiles, Winkelmann knows his market better than anyone. “Lamborghini is an exclusive brand meant for performance and style enthusiasts who demand the best of the best.”
Packed with plenty of power, the Urus Performante delivers endless advantages to the end user. Whether its style, the Lamborghini status, or just the overall enjoyment of the SUV experience, the Lamborghini is not an Audi RSQ8. Offering more power, style and an interior that will blow you away, keep Lamborghini in mind for that status symbol, all look to enjoy one day. Could we see an EV Urus one day? Only time will tell…
