The Most Hardcore Lamborghini SUV Is On Its Way To India

• Lamborghini will launch the Urus Performante in India on November 24.

• Gets a 4-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine producing 666PS and 850Nm.

• Takes 3.3 seconds to reach 100kmph from standstill.

• Gets a host of mechanical and aerodynamic tweaks to improve handling.

• Expect a steeper price tag in comparison to the standard Urus.

Lamborghini’s most outrageous SUV in every sense, the Urus Performante, is scheduled for launch in India on November 24. It is the same Urus derivative that devoured the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in the US, setting a record-breaking time of 10 minutes and 32 seconds.

V8 goodness

The raging bull’s most powerful SUV packs a 4-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine under its hood. The unit is found in the standard Urus as well, but for the Performante, it has been tweaked to dish out 666PS and 850Nm. All of 3.3 seconds is what it takes for this super-SUV to clock 100kmph on the speedo.

Performante = performance

The ‘performante’ moniker comes with its own set of standards, one which takes no compromise on dynamics. Improved dynamic stability over the standard Urus is attained through a host of nips and tucks to the mechanical components, which includes steel springs and dampers, stiffer springs with a lowered ride height and a wider stance. Design revisions have also been made and you can know all about them in our reveal article on the SUV. 

Soon after the gals from Sant'Agata Bolognese came out with the Performante, they drew the curtains off a new generation Urus, called the Urus S. It too gets the same V8 unit as the Performante but the overall design of the SUV is a bit aggressive in comparison. The Urus S should debut in India soon after the Urus Performante and both SUVs will carry an even bigger price tag than the standard Urus.
