So, what did we think of the Urus Performante when we took it for a drive? Read our review to find out...
The Performante’s chassis responses have been improved. The difference over the regular Urus during my drive was most obvious in slower turns, where the standard air-sprung suspension washed wider much sooner. The prototype fought understeer impressively well and turned in to corners with an enthusiasm that belied its size and height, the recalibrated rear steering helping to rotate the car on entry.
While Nardó confirmed the Performante prototype can be hustled at an impressive pace, there was much less opportunity to experience its softer side. In its gentlest Corsa mode, the air-sprung Urus is pliant at cruising speeds, but we’ll have to wait to see how the firmer steel springs, lower ride height and largest-possible 23in wheels cope with the real world.
The Urus is already the most successful Lamborghini of all time in terms of annual production figures, and almost certainly profitability, too. The Performante looks set to build on that success, adding a slight amount of extra performance but – to judge from this first experience in an unfinished example – a significant extra dose of character and dynamic focus. The typical Urus buyer is hardly a shrinking violet, so a louder and more muscular example is likely to have strong appeal.
