2026 Lamborghini Urus SE Performante - Images, Specifications and Information

The Urus SE Performante is the latest heir to a lineage that began in 2012 with the unveiling of the first concept car at the Beijing Auto Show and continued with the first production model which made its debut in 2017, marking a milestone in Lamborghini history and achieving immediate commercial success.

In 2022, the Urus family doubled with the introduction of the S and Performante versions, followed by the Urus SE, which in 2024 became the second pillar of Automobili Lamborghini’s high-performance electrification strategy. Each model represents an evolution not only from a technical standpoint but also in design.

For the Lamborghini Urus family, Lamborghini’s Centro Stile transferred the aesthetic philosophy of the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand to a Super SUV, creating a new segment in terms of styling as well.

“With the Urus SE Performante we give shape to driving emotions,” stated Design Director Mitja Borkert. “While the Urus SE represents the elegant face of sportiness, the Urus SE Performante design is purely inspired by performance and our philosophy ‘We give adrenaline a shape.’ To emphasize the vehicle’s supersport character, we decided to expose more carbon-fiber elements, both on the exterior and inside the cabin.”

At Lamborghini, performance and design evolve in parallel, and every element must serve not only aesthetics but above all aerodynamics. “This is the most powerful Urus ever, and during the development phase it was clear that the design needed to ensure both emotional impact and functional performance. That’s why we created these large S-Duct air intakes on the hood, which not only give the front end an even sportier presence but also perform an essential aerodynamic function,” Borkert continued.

The design of the Urus SE Performante was developed around the concept of “bold sportiness,” with the aim of strengthening the visual connection between form and function. The lines are sharper and more sculpted, while every aerodynamic element is fully functional, reinforcing the principle that performance and design operate in perfect synergy.

The front end immediately expresses the vehicle’s character: the new carbon-fiber hood incorporates a central power dome (the pronounced hood bulge) that recalls Lamborghini heritage, while the omega-shaped graphic signature and redesigned air intakes emphasize width and road presence. The larger and more defined front air intakes not only accentuate the athletic nature of the design but also respond to increased cooling demands, improving aerodynamic flow toward the radiators.

The extensive use of exposed carbon fiber—the most ever featured on an Urus—further defines the vehicle, giving it a highly technical and even sportier identity. This approach is also reflected in the side view, where the proportions appear even more dynamic thanks to a a wider, more stable posture. The new 23-inch wheels, featuring a sophisticated intersecting Y-spoke design, emphasize the performance-oriented character, while the redesigned wheel arches integrate carbon-fiber details that reinforce their visual impact.

The rear continues this language, combining aerodynamic efficiency with impressive strength. The new carbon-fiber spoiler, taller and more integrated, works in synergy with the rear wing inspired by the worlds of aviation and motorsport, while the diffuser—the largest ever designed for an Urus—amplifies the perception of width and sportiness. The rear surfaces also introduce iconic stylistic references, such as hexagonal geometries inspired by the Countach, contributing to an even more distinctive visual signature.

The interior reflects the same dual soul of the vehicle, with a sportier, more driver-focused layout consistent with the “Feel like a Pilot” concept, a key element of Lamborghini DNA.

Finally, the color palette also highlights this dual interpretation: alongside more extreme and dynamic configurations, such as the new Giallo Crius, there are also more lifestyle-oriented solutions, as the elegant Verde Hydra matt, confirming the versatility of the Urus SE Performante and its ability to embody different personalities without compromise.

“Inside, the cabin introduces a dedicated livery and graphic treatment with distinctive Y-shaped motifs and contrasting red details that reinforce the sporty character of the vehicle. The interior features the use of sustainable materials such as CorsaTex by Dinamica microfiber, combining performance-oriented design with innovative craftsmanship.” Borkert stated.

At the center of the dashboard, a new 12.3-inch screen has been installed, featuring an even more intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) with updated graphics inspired by Revuelto. The work carried out by the designers at the Lamborghini Centro Stile focused particularly on the air vents, the unmistakable Y-shaped anodized aluminum details, and the new upholstery for the panels, seats, and dashboard, which now features an all-new aviation-inspired mechanical button panel that further emphasizes the “feel like a pilot” concept.

The driver benefits from a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while the already mentioned 12.3-inch central touchscreen display is integrated into the center console as the core of the LIS (Lamborghini Infotainment System). A model-specific telemetry system is also included, along with displays related to the driver assistance systems, enhancing awareness of the surrounding environment.

Finally, specifically designed for Urus SE Performante, the new steering wheel combines sporty character with refined luxury, enhanced by an exclusive carbon fiber bezel. Its sleek and modern design brings a bold touch to the interior, elevating both the driving experience and the unmistakable style of the cockpit.

The new Urus SE Performante stands at the top of the Super SUV range in terms of performance, setting a new benchmark for aerodynamic efficiency.

The objective was not only to increase top speed and longitudinal performance, but also to achieve the perfect balance between efficiency, stability, and component cooling, ensuring an outstanding driving experience both on the road and on the track.

One of the most significant achievements is the 3% reduction in aerodynamic drag compared to the Urus SE, a key improvement for optimizing fuel consumption and overall vehicle efficiency. The Urus SE Performante matches the drag values of the previous Urus Performante; a significant result considering the increase of 16% in aerodynamic downforce compared to the previous Perfomante, and of 23% compared to the Urus SE.

Looking at the individual axles, the vehicle delivers a 22% increase in front downforce while maintaining the same rear load if compared to the previous Urus Performante. This balance is the result of a new, more efficient front splitter designed to drastically reduce lift and further enhance the vehicle’s agility.

At the rear, high-speed stability is ensured by a combination of upper and lower carbon-fiber spoilers working in synergy to maximize aerodynamic load while simultaneously enhancing the vehicle’s supersport styling.

Furthermore, to achieve even more efficient thermal management of the plug-in hybrid system (powertrain, battery, and transmission), the Urus SE Performante introduces an all-new cooling system. Instead of relying on air intakes positioned underneath the vehicle, it features new hood vents functioning as an S-Duct, dedicated outlets on the fenders, and enlarged internal wheel-arch vents specifically designed to accommodate these extraction elements.

This solution not only optimizes powertrain cooling while maintaining the same airflow capacity as the SE, but also improves underbody aerodynamics, actively contributing to the reduction of front-end lift.

Finally, special attention was devoted to brake cooling, which benefits from an 8% increase in efficiency compared to the Urus SE. This improvement was made possible through the introduction of a new dedicated NACA duct specifically optimized for the Urus SE Performante. This duct works in conjunction with the front splitter to channel cool air directly toward the discs and calipers, ensuring consistent braking performance even during the most intense and prolonged driving sessions.
