Lamborghini unveiled the latest iteration of the brand’s sport utility vehicle (SUV) at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, during the 2022 Monterey Car Week.
Dubbed as the Urus Performante, the high-performance model is the newest and most technologically-advanced version to date. It is also the current record-holder for being the fastest production SUV to climb to the Pikes Peak summit, beating the previous hill climb record set in 2018 by the Bentley Bentayga.
Performance-wise, the aptly-named Urus Performante offers a maximum power output of 666 horsepower (hp) and can zoom from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour (kph) in just 3.3 seconds. Compared to the base model, the Urus Performante is 0.3 seconds faster and is 47 kilograms (kg) lighter. It also has improved braking from zero to 100kph in 32.9 meters (m).
“The Urus Performante brings to life the true performance capabilities of our Super SUV, the best-selling model by Lamborghini. The Urus greatly contributed to the company’s best half-year sales results in history, and The Quail sets a perfect stage for our customers to see this new masterpiece in person for the first time alongside our exceptional Huracán line-up,” said Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stephan Winkelmann.
In addition to the Urus Performante, Lamborghini displayed an array of models at The Quail, including the open-top Huracán EVO RWD Spyder, the race-inspired Huracán STO, and the new Huracán Tecnica — designed to deliver the best experience both on the road and on the track.
As a tribute to Lamborghini's creation of the first super SUV in history and highlighting the car that paved the way for off-road vehicles, a selection of LM 002s from American collectors were showcased. Like the LM 002, which was first unveiled 40 years ago at the Geneva Auto Show, the Urus created a new Super SUV class of its own, reimagining the Lamborghini offering and overall trajectory of the brand.
