Lamborghini Urus SE is an 800 PS plug-in hybrid super SUV

LAMBORGHINI’s best-selling model, the Urus, is now available in a plug-in hybrid variant, offering the highest power in its range and a significant reduction in emissions.

Known as the Urus SE, it is powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine but with the addition of an electric motor inside the 8-speed automatic transmission.

According to Lamborghini, the engine has been reworked to work in optimal synergy with the electric powertrain. The engine alone produces 620 PS and 800 Nm, while the electric generates an additional 192 PS and 483 Nm. The combined output is a whopping 800 PS and 950 Nm.

Performance-wise, the Urus SE accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds (0.1 seconds faster than the Urus S) and reaches a top speed of 302 km/h (7 km/h faster than the Urus S).

While these figures are remarkable, the title of the fastest Urus still belongs to the Performante, which is capable of completing the century sprint in 3.3 seconds and reaching a top speed of 306 km/h, despite having only 666 PS.

The Urus SE is equipped with a 25.7 kWh lithium-ion battery located beneath the boot floor, providing this super SUV with an electric driving range of over 60 km in EV mode. Despite offering the highest power in the Urus lineup, this variant exhibits an 80% lower level of emissions.

Also debuting on the Urus SE is the new centrally-located longitudinal electric torque vectoring system with an electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch, which distributes driving torque variably and continuously between the front and rear axles.

The transfer case works in synergy with the new electronic limited-slip differential installed on the rear axle, giving the vehicle “on demand” oversteering to convey the feel of a purebred super sports car.
