Summary

  • 800 horsepower lifts Lamborghini’s new Urus SE Performante to a 193.86 mph top speed, edging the Aston Martin DBX707 and Bentley Bentayga Speed to become the world’s fastest production SUV.
  • The plug-in hybrid keeps the Urus SE’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 setup but raises combined output from 789 hp to 800 hp, while a titanium exhaust and other changes trim weight.
  • 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h still only matches the DBX707, with the Lamborghini weighing 5,452 pounds—512 pounds more than the Aston Martin and nearly 400 more than a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
  • A new Rally mode and two-chamber dual-valve air springs broaden the SUV’s brief beyond pavement, letting height and spring rate be adjusted independently for high-speed dirt driving.
