đź“° Lamborghini's Next Big Thing? Urus Performante Hybrid Spied in Testing
Lamborghini is dialing up the heat in the luxury SUV game once again, and this time it’s with a powerful new twist. A camouflaged version of what appears to be the Urus Performante Hybrid has been caught testing in Europe—and it’s making supercar fans and SUV lovers alike buzz with excitement in the U.S. 🇺🇸
🔋 Plug-In Power Meets Performance
This mysterious test mule looks closely related to the Urus SE, which introduced a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) setup paired with the twin-turbo V8. But unlike the SE, this one wears aerodynamic tweaks that hint at even more power and sharper handling.
Lamborghini hasn’t confirmed anything, but the presence of electric warning stickers on the car’s camo and the sporty additions like a rear spoiler and aggressive intakes strongly point toward a hybrid powertrain upgrade—possibly exceeding the SE’s 788hp.
🛠️ What's Different This Time?
-
New front bumper design with reshaped air intakes
-
A roof-mounted spoiler reminiscent of the old Performante
-
Huge 10-piston brake calipers with 440mm drilled front discs
-
Camouflage hides the rear bumper—could be reshaped
-
Roll cage and racing seats (development-only, not production)
Don’t get your hopes up for a stripped-down track model—those racing parts are for internal testing only.
đź’° Expected Price & Launch Window
If this is indeed a hybrid successor to the Urus Performante, expect a price tag north of $280,000 USD, based on current UK pricing and Lamborghini’s premium for special trims. A full reveal is likely in early 2026, with orders opening soon after.
🌟 Why This Urus Matters for U.S. Buyers
With Ferrari's Purosangue and Aston Martin’s DBX707 setting benchmarks in the performance SUV world, Lamborghini’s hybrid Performante could bring track-worthy speed with lower emissions—a sweet spot for U.S. supercar enthusiasts looking to blend daily driveability with exotic flair.
