The Lamborghini Urus is the automaker's most popular model. A new plug-in hybrid is the most powerful version yet.
Lamborghini built its reputation with outrageous supercars like the Miura, Countach, and Diablo, but today its bestseller is the Urus SUV. And a new plug-in hybrid version of that car could make or break the automaker’s push to hybridize its entire lineup by the end of 2024.
Related More than just impressive numbers The Urus SE has the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 under its hood as other Urus models, but with an electric motor stuffed into its eight-speed automatic transmission and fed by a 25-kilowatt-hour battery pack. All-wheel drive is still standard, but the Urus SE replaces the Torsen center differential used in other Urus models with an electronically actuated central clutch to split power between the front and rear axles.
Corporate parts, Lamborghini character The Urus was unveiled in 2017, but the decision to make a plug-in hybrid version came much later, as part of the automaker’s Direzione Cor Tauri business strategy, which was announced in 2021. Making a plug-in variant of a vehicle not originally intended to have that powertrain was made easier because Lamborghini could lean on the resources of its parent Volkswagen Group, Mohr noted.
When cornering in the Sport drive mode, for example, the Urus SE won’t abruptly cut in the front axle when it detects that the rear wheels are slipping, which adds grip, but in a disconcerting way, Mohr said. The software is even smart enough to anticipate when a driver wants to drift, and even uses the front axle to help hold the car sideways, he added.
