2026 Lamborghini Urus SE Performante - Images, Specifications and Information

The Lamborghini Urus SE Performante defines a new paradigm in the Super SUV segment thanks to a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain that combines the power of the combustion engine with the efficiency and responsiveness of electric technology. At the heart of this technological evolution is the proven 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, operating in perfect synergy with a permanent-magnet electric motor. This “dual-heart” architecture delivers a combined output of 812 CV (596 kW) at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm available between 2,000 and 5,500 rpm already from the first gear, ensuring constant thrust at every engine speed and in every driving mode. This represents an increase of 146 PS and 150 Nm over the previous Urus Performante.

The synchronous electric motor, strategically positioned upstream of the gearbox, not only acts as a boost to enhance the V8’s performance, but also allows the vehicle to travel in full-electric mode for over 60 km. Energy is supplied by a 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery housed beneath the load floor to optimize the center of gravity.

Power management is entrusted to an eight-speed automatic transmission, specifically recalibrated to emphasize the vehicle’s sporty character. A major software update further reduces response times, maximizing driver input reactivity and minimizing torque lag.

The vehicle features a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system with an electronically controlled central clutch. This central transfer system works continuously in coordination with the electronically controlled self-locking rear differential, enabling variable torque distribution capable of delivering “on-demand” oversteer and ensuring the signature driving feel typical of the supersports cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The performance figures resulting from this mechanical and electronic synergy place the Urus SE Performante at the very top of its category: it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in only 10.8 seconds. The vehicle is capable of achieving a top speed of 312 km/h, confirming the model as the ultimate benchmark for drivers seeking maximum driving excitement and performance.

The new Urus SE Performante redefines the performance standards of the Super SUV segment also through meticulous weight reduction, aimed at the systematic optimization of every structural component. Thanks to this engineering philosophy, the vehicle achieves a weight-to-power ratio of 3 kg/CV, an absolute benchmark for the category. Compared to the Urus SE, the Performante variant benefits from a 32 kg weight reduction, bringing the homologated curb weight down to 2,473 kg.

The extensive use of carbon fiber involves key components such as the front hood, roof, wheel arches, side skirts, and rear diffuser, optimizing the bodywork in every detail. The pursuit of maximum efficiency also extends to the exhaust system, which features titanium components as standard, including the muffler and tailpipes, ensuring an overall weight saving of more than 10 kg in the exhaust system alone.

The standard equipment is further enhanced by the introduction of the Integrated Power Brake (IPB) system, which reduces weight by 4 kg, and by a meticulous optimization of the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) package, contributing an additional 3.3 kg reduction.

The cabin has also been designed with performance in mind: the standard interior configuration features the exclusive Corsa Tex by Dinamica technical trim, delivering a further 2.7 kg reduction. Additional upholstery options for customization remain available, including the Unicolor Performante Leather Interior.

In summary, every technical innovation in the Urus SE Performante contributes to the creation of a vehicle where weight reduction translates into unprecedented dynamic responsiveness and driving precision within the segment.

The technical evolution of Lamborghini Urus SE Performante reaches its highest expression through the integration of the revolutionary six-degrees-of-freedom 6D sensor, which made its debut on the one-off Fenomeno presented during the 2025 Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach. Strategically positioned near the vehicle’s center of gravity, its name derives from its ability to measure six different physical parameters: accelerations along the three spatial axes and angular velocities related to pitch, roll, and yaw movements.

This technology goes beyond simple data acquisition, forming part of an ecosystem that also includes virtual sensors (“inno-controller” algorithms) and predictive logic developed within the IPB (Integrated Power Brake) control unit.

“One of the key elements that most effectively expresses the ultra-performance character of the new Urus SE Performante is its braking system,” said Stefano Cossalter, Urus Product Line Director. “The seamless integration of the Integrated Power Brake (IPB) system further enhances the vehicle’s dynamic capabilities, delivering greater precision, responsiveness and driving confidence in all conditions. Thanks to eight accelerometers positioned across the vehicle — one on each wheel and one at each corner of the chassis — the system continuously analyses longitudinal and lateral tire grip while monitoring body roll behaviour in real time. This data is processed by the IPB to ensure highly predictive brake management and optimal vehicle control at every moment.”

The system is therefore capable of estimating in real time key parameters such as tire grip, actual vehicle speed, and body attitude angle, enabling vehicle dynamics management that is no longer based solely on feedback, but also on feed-forward prediction of road and track behavior.

Acting as an advanced pressure modulator, the IPB overcomes the limitations of conventional ABS systems by eliminating “on-off” interventions in favor of continuous and fluid modulation of braking torque at each individual caliper. The result is a 10% increase in braking power and a 12% improvement in system responsiveness compared to the Urus Performante, with the 200–0 km/h braking distance reduced to less than 130 meters, all without substantial modifications to the braking system’s technical specifications, which remain aligned with those of the Urus SE.

At the same time, the synergy between the 6D sensor and the IPB extends to the Traction Control System (TCS) and the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system for lateral stability. Thanks to the predictive capabilities enabled by the virtual sensors, traction control acts proactively. Torque delivery and brake pressure are therefore managed smoothly, continuously, and precisely, without any interruption in power delivery.

“On top of the IPB system the 6D sensor, which as indeed carried over from the Fenomeno, has been placed at the centre of gravity of the Urus SE Performante to better measure yaw, roll and pitch coefficients” continued Stefano Cossalter. “Thanks to all the collected data, the Urus SE Perfomante shows a max deceleration increased by 9% compared to the previous Urus Perfomante, granting a 6% faster manoeuvre and 12% faster reaction time.”

Meanwhile, the IVC system uses body attitude angle estimates to optimize maneuvers — especially high-speed ones such as sudden lane changes — making vehicle response 6% faster. The elimination of oscillations and perfect alignment with the intended trajectory ensure superior control and unprecedented safety, elevating the driving experience to the highest performance standards.

The suspension and vertical dynamics management system of the new Urus SE Performante represents the pinnacle of technological innovation within Lamborghini DNA, thanks to the introduction of the AURA architecture with 2K2V dual-chamber air suspension. Compared to previous Urus versions, the vehicle can radically transform its character by simultaneously acting on both the elastic and damping components.

At the core of the chassis responsiveness are the new dual-chamber air springs (“2K” standing for “2 chambers,” combined with “2V,” meaning “2 valves”). This configuration allows targeted variation of axle stiffness according to each driving mode and style, significantly expanding the operating range between comfort and sportiness.

The system manages two distinct air volumes: a primary chamber located at the upper section, dedicated to pure dynamics and track driving, constantly active to guarantee maximum lateral support and razor-sharp turn-in precision; and a secondary chamber, which operates in driving modes focused more on comfort. When the valve connecting the two chambers opens, the combined air volume enables the vehicle to absorb road imperfections with exceptional smoothness, significantly reducing the effects of uneven surfaces.

The innovation of the Urus SE Performante suspension system also lies in its dual-valve dampers. Unlike previous systems that relied on a single valve to manage overall damping, this setup features two separate valves. Thanks to this separation, the new control unit can apply variable damping forces during compression without affecting rebound calibration, and vice versa. Depending on road conditions and the selected driving mode, the system instantly adapts the response of each individual valve.

This independent management enables smooth absorption of road irregularities, ensuring that body movements remain virtually imperceptible and comfortable for occupants. At the same time, the system guarantees optimal tire contact with the road even on degraded surfaces, ensuring traction and safety without compromising overall stability. This technology offers a much wider adjustment spectrum, allowing extremely precise tuning that enhances both handling and dynamic comfort.

The integration of the 2K2V system has reduced roll gradient during sporty driving by 55%, combined with a 25% reduction in comfort-related vibrations compared to the previous Urus Performante model.

Another fundamental upgrade introduced on the Urus SE Performante is the track width, which has been increased of 16 mm. This translates into a significant improvement in lateral stability, enabling the vehicle to resist body roll more effectively through corners and remain composed during rapid changes of direction; cornering performance is also improved, granting a more efficient distribution of lateral forces across the tires. Steering response becomes more precise and controlled, with the vehicle exhibiting a more solid and progressive behavior that increases the driver’s confidence and overall control.

The vehicle is equipped with eight accelerometers: four sensors positioned on the wheel hubs and four on the chassis, providing the upgraded control unit with a continuous stream of data for predictive analysis of dynamic behavior. Thanks to this onboard intelligence, the signals sent to the four corners of the vehicle instantly optimize the response to dynamic loads.

Urus SE Performante therefore makes no compromises: it combines the refinement of a luxury vehicle with the agility of a razor-sharp super sports car that, at the touch of a command, can transform itself — ready to dominate the curbs with millimetric control of roll and pitch movements.

At the center of the console, the “Tamburo” selector allows the driver to choose between the various driving modes which, thanks to the hybrid powertrain, combine the four Urus SE Performante modes with the four Electric Performance Strategies (EPS) already introduced on Urus SE.

Urus SE Performante also introduces an absolute novelty: Rally mode, specifically calibrated to deliver maximum driving enjoyment on dirt surfaces, fully enhancing not only the vehicle’s sporting character but also its performance on gravel roads and off-road terrain.

EV mode is the experience that maximizes the vehicle’s electric potential. Calibrated for city driving, it allows the car to travel more than 60 km using only the battery and electric motor, while also reaching a top speed of over 130 km/h.

Hybrid mode, selectable when driving in Strada mode, delivers maximum efficiency, comfort, and the ideal balance between the combustion engine and electric motor. Recharge mode, selectable in Strada, Sport and Corsa modes, allows the battery to be recharged up to 80% while maintaining optimal performance.

Performance mode is designed for drivers who want to fully experience the capabilities of Urus, not only in Strada, Sport, and Corsa modes, but also in Rally mode.

Urus SE Performante makes no compromises when it comes to driving modes: Strada maximizes the vehicle’s exceptional comfort, while Sport mode delivers the highest level of driving excitement, enhancing agility and the vehicle’s ability to easily manage power oversteer and drifting.

In Corsa mode, developed specifically for track driving, Urus SE Performante expresses the maximum of its dynamic capabilities thanks also to the suspension system, which controls body movements (pitch, yaw, roll, and heave), making the vehicle extremely stable and responsive even through the curbs of a racing circuit.

Thanks to its advanced driving modes, Urus SE Performante seamlessly transforms its character with a simple touch, shifting from supreme and effortless comfort cruising to razor-sharp performance that unleashes pure power and precision, and finally to an exhilarating off-road experience where capability and control turn every terrain into pure driving excitement.
