Is the lightest, quickest, and sportiest variant of Lamborghini's super SUV also the best?
"Nearly seven years ago, the idea of a super SUV was largely foreign, and today, the concept of taking that platform and hardening it in the pursuit of performance remains largely unexplored. Can the lightest, quickest, and sportiest variant of Lamborghini’s super SUV also be the best?"
"As a result, the question of whether the lightest, quickest Urus is also the best is the wrong one to ask. The Performante is a better-driving, better-looking, and more exciting Urus, but how often will you find yourself on the right road to fully experience it?"
The 2024 Lamborghini Urus Performante stands out as a true evolution in the luxury super SUV segment, redefining high-performance while maintaining the hallmark exclusivity of the Lamborghini brand. Building on the success of the original Lamborghini Urus, which introduced the world to the concept of a super SUV in 2017, the Urus Performante raises the bar with enhanced power, weight reduction, and aggressive styling upgrades, making it one of the most desirable luxury SUVs on the market.
Lightest and Quickest Lamborghini Urus: With a weight reduction of 104 pounds and a 16-horsepower boost, the Lamborghini Urus Performante is the lightest and quickest version of Lamborghini’s iconic SUV. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 190 mph, making it one of the fastest super SUVs in its class.
Performance-Oriented Suspension: The Performante’s steel spring suspension replaces air springs, lowering the vehicle’s height by nearly an inch. Paired with updated adaptive dampers and active anti-roll bars, the 2024 Urus Performante offers precision handling and agility, especially on winding roads, delivering the ultimate driving experience for performance enthusiasts.
Striking Design Features: The Lamborghini Urus Performante showcases aggressive styling with sharper lines, prominent hood grooves, and extensive use of carbon fiber for weight reduction and increased downforce (up to 38% more). Its bold design not only enhances aerodynamics but also sets it apart visually from the original Urus SUV.
Luxury Meets Performance: Inside, the Urus Performante exudes luxury, with Alcantara-trimmed seats, red leather accents, and glossy carbon fiber finishes. The interior mirrors the design of Lamborghini’s high-performance models like the Aventador SVJ, blending sportiness with luxury for a truly unique driving environment.
The 2024 Lamborghini Urus Performante enters a highly competitive luxury SUV market, going head-to-head with rivals such as the Aston Martin DBX707, Ferrari Purosangue, and BMW XM Label. However, the Performante’s blend of raw power, striking design, and race-inspired handling gives it a distinct edge in the ever-evolving luxury car market.
While competitors excel in other areas, the Urus Performante stands unmatched when it comes to dynamic performance and Lamborghini’s signature dramatic flair. Starting at $265,890, the 2024 Urus Performante continues to deliver an unparalleled experience for luxury SUV drivers who seek the ultimate combination of speed, performance, and prestige.
