The familiar twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 has been re-engineered to work in tandem with the new electric hardware.
The Urus SE not only boasts a refreshed design, but now punches to the tune of 800hp and 950Nm, which give it a 0-100km/h sprint time of 3.4secs and a 312km/h top speed.

“With the Urus we changed the paradigms of the SUV world, ushering in a new segment,” commented Mr. Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman & CEO.
He continues, “In just a few years, the Urus has become our brand’s bestseller, enabling Lamborghini to attract new customers and strengthen its position in the most important markets. With the Urus SE, we’ve taken another step towards the future in line with our Direzione Cor Tauri strategy, moving ahead with the electrification of the range and the path toward decarbonisation that began with the introduction of the Revuelto super-sportscar in March 2023.
