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…
