Lamborghini Urus SE, the new PHEV Super SUV Makes UK debut
London, 07 May 2024, (Oilandgaspress): – Over 200 Lamborghini owners and their cars were welcomed by board members and management of Automobili Lamborghini, in the second edition of Lamborghini Day UK, held this year at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre.
Departing from eleven Lamborghini dealerships across the UK, the cars arrived in ‘Bull Runs’ at the Hampshire venue. The UK unveil of the Urus SE, the new PHEV version of the Lamborghini Super SUV, opened the day’s activities, presented by Lamborghini Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Federico Foschini together with Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr; Design Director Mitja Borkert; and Aftersales Director Alessandro Farmeschi.
Unveiled at Beijing auto show in April 2024, the Urus SE features a new design, optimized aerodynamics, unprecedented on-board technology and an 800 CV hybrid powertrain. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version ranks at the top of the Urus range in terms of comfort, performance, efficiency, emissions and driving pleasure. Thanks to its two ‘hearts’, thermal and electric, the torque and power values are the highest ever, giving the SE a unique place in its category and boasting an 80% reduction in emissions.
The Urus SE offers an unparalleled driving experience: the plug-in hybrid system helps to improve the vehicle’s performance and dynamics on any surface and in any condition. More torque and power at any rpm is provided by way of innovative technical solutions such as the introduction of the electric torque vectoring system between the two axles, and the electronic rear differential. The Urus SE delivers state-of-the-art performance combined with inimitable Lamborghini DNA: at the top of its class for its driving dynamics and fun-to-drive character it combines absolute comfort with performance.
The twin-turbo 4.0 V8 engine has been re-engineered to work in optimal synergy with the electric powertrain. It develops 620 CV of power (456 kW) and 800 Nm of driving torque; the combustion unit is combined with an electric powertrain delivering 192 CV (141 kW) and 483 Nm of torque. In delivering maximum output a focus on the calibration strategy between ICE and e-motor reaches a total output of 800 CV to ensure an optimal power curve in every driving mode and surface.
A 25.9-kWh lithium-ion battery is situated below the load floor and above the electronically controlled rear differential. The permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor located inside the 8-speed automatic transmission can act as a boost for the V8 combustion engine but also as a traction element, making the Urus SE a 100% electric 4WD vehicle capable of traveling more than 60 km in EV mode.
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. Both systems are designed and calibrated to best suit any type of grip condition and driving style, providing the maximum traction and agility whether driving on a racetrack or desert dunes, ice or dirt.
Unique in its category, the Urus SE offers greater torque and power at any rpm or driving condition. The system develops a total power output of 800 CV (588 kW) at 6000 rpm and a total torque of 950 Nm already available at 1750 rpm and up to 5750 rpm, ensuring best-in-class performance from every angle. This is also thanks to a further enhanced weight-to-power ratio: 3.13 kg/CV (compared to 3.3 in the Urus S). The Urus SE sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds (Urus S: 3.5) and from 0 to 200 km/h in just 11.4 seconds (Urus S: 12.5), reaching a top speed of 312 km/h (Urus S: 305 km/h). These figures make the SE the most powerful Urus ever and the fastest production car in the segment, setting a new benchmark in the Super SUV category.
