Speaking of lightweight materials, customers can order a high-performance 2023 SUV with a carbon fiber roof that “refers” to the Lamborghini Huracan Performante and Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo. To improve engine cooling, designers also gave the model new air curtains, carbon fiber wheel arches, and a larger spoiler that helps increase rear downforce by 38%. From the rear, the Lamborghini Urus Performante is equipped with a carbon fiber diffuser and a carbon rear bumper, joined by Akrapovič's titanium Exhaust system, which produces a "Lamborghini Echo". For a more sporty look, the newest Urus 2023 got new steel springs that reduce the height of the model by 0.8 inches (20 mm), the track also increases by 0.6 inches (16 mm), while the Italian SUV relies on lightweight tires of 22 or 23 inches It features titanium rivets and is surrounded by specially developed Pirelli P Zero wheels.

Lamborghini Urus Performante mechanical specifications:

 The car is based on a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that generates 657 hp (666 European PS) and 850 Nm of torque, registering an increase of 16 hp over the base model. The high-performance SUV accelerates from rest to 100 km / h in 3.3 seconds, and its top speed is 306 km / h. The improved performance is due in part to the "largest number of carbon fiber parts in its class" and helps reduce the SUV's weight by 47 kilograms (104 lb), giving the model the best power-to-weight ratio in its class.  

Improved performance and reduced weight are only part of the story. The Performante version of the new Urus is equipped with a recalibrated steering system, which promises more precise inputs and direct feedback. The model also has a new differential for optimal torque distribution as well as updated driving modes. In relation to the latter, there is a new rally setting that elevates “the sporty SUV driving pleasure to an exciting new level on dirt tracks”. As Lamborghini explained, the steering overload is amplified by improved anti-roll and damping systems for steel springs on rough surfaces. Thanks to all these updates, the Urus Performante has already proven itself as the model set a new record on Pikes Peak with a time of 10:32.064, beating the previous 4x4 record of 10:49,902. Deliveries are set to begin late this year and the US price for the Lamborghini Urus Performance starts at $260,676.
