While potent on track, how does the hardcore Lamborghini Urus Performante fare on UK roads?
, effectively a mid-life rejig for the model as a whole. But while the S continues to ride on air suspension, its wilder sibling is fixed 20mm lower on lighter steel springs to keep its centre of gravity as low as possible. Not making the thing an SUV in the first place would lower it yet further, of course, but that’s a road we’re now too far down to consider a dramatic U-turn.
Downforce is up 38 per cent with the assistance of a new rear wing while weight drops 47kg – to a still portly 2150kg – with the help of some carbon panels, an Akrapovic titanium exhaust and optional forged wheels with bespoke compound Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tyres. Yep, we now occupy a universe where semi-slicks are OEM parts on an SUV.
The steering doesn’t brim with feel but is quick and precise without unsettling the car, presumably aided by that drop in ride height and anti-roll tech. The gearchanges – downshifts in particular – are also sharper than before, as is throttle response. To say the car bounds voraciously through its ratios on the circuit’s longer straights is an understatement, though the ‘enhanced sound’ of its new exhaust system appears to better entertain those outside of the car than in it.
