The Lamborghini Urus hybrid is tipped to break cover later this year as the most powerful iteration yet. Here's our first glimpse -
In fact, the Urus hybrid will surpass the 657bhp S and Performante as the most potent variant yet. Given that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid uses an electrified version of the Lambo’s V8 to the tune of 671bhp, expect the Urus hybrid to match this figure at the very least.
In the Porsche, the petrol engine generates 542bhp, which is augmented by a 134bhp electric motor sandwiched between itself and the gearbox .The Cayenne can achieve up to 25 miles of pure electric running thanks to a 17.9kWh battery packaged behind the rear axle, so expect the Urus to be in a similar ballpark. Compared to the pure ICE Cayenne Turbo, the E-Hybrid gains an extra 315kg due to its electric hardware, so we could be staring down the barrel of a 2.5-tonne Lamborghini.
The question remains how far Lamborghini is willing to push the Urus hybrid beyond the existing models in terms of pure grunt. In theory, power could swell to almost 800bhp by combining the hybrid elements with the current 657bhp V8, offsetting the extra weight of the battery pack and motor; and then some.
Tipped to release towards the end of this year, the Urus hybrid will hit the road in time for Lamborghini’s range-wide electrification plans.
