- Lamborghini has a new Urus edition to be unveiled on July 1.
- This is probably the Performante model, whose production will end in 2024.
- A PHEV powertrain can produce more than 800 horsepower.
Lamborghini recently released a teaser for a new Urus version, which will be revealed on July 1, 2026. A simple caption reads, “A new chapter is taking shape.” This revelation will be livestreamed lamborghini.com and YouTube, where more details will be announced.
Along with a brief caption, Lamborghini showed an image of the new Urus, partially obscured by shadow. From what we can tell, the bright green SUV is equipped with two spoilers: one above the rear window and the other just above the taillights located in the middle of the liftgate. Based on the size and aggressiveness of these spoilers, this is probably a high-performance version.
If we had to guess, it’s probably the return of the Urus Performante, whose production ended in 2024. That model had a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that produced 657 horsepower, up from the 641 hp rating in the standard Urus.
Lamborghini still uses the same twin-turbo V8 in the 2026 Urus SE, but it’s now a plug-in hybrid with an electric motor, delivering a combined 789 hp. We expect this future performance version to improve on that power figure, possibly pushing the Urus above the 800-hp threshold for the first time in the nameplate’s history.
Apart from immense power, the revived Urus Performance will see a lot of upgrades under the skin. The previous version got a retuned suspension with fixed springs (replacing the standard car’s air suspension), more agile rear-wheel steering and a more rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. You should also expect plenty of visual cues, including carbon fiber accents that show this is no ordinary Urus.
Before the introduction of the previous model, it set a record for an SUV on the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Road with a time of 10:32.064. Perhaps the new model will also try to make a similar record.
Motor1’s Opinion: With the Urus approaching and possibly exceeding 800 hp, this should be a remarkably fast SUV. However, the PHEV component will make it heavier than the previous Performante, meaning it may not be as quick to drive on the track.
