It’s the most powerful internal combustion driven SUV in the world—for now.
Lamborghini, it seems, is hellbent on winning the “most powerful super-SUV" battle—at least for vehicles that still rely on gasoline for their primary means of motivation. Its latest creation is the 2027 Lamborghini Urus SE Performante, an even more powerful and (slightly) lighter-weight version of the already bonkers plug-in hybrid Urus SE. And as of right now, the SE Performante is the most powerful production internal combustion SUV in the world.
Plug-In PowerUnder the hood, the Urus SE Performante works off a version of the regular SE’s powertrain, a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 with an electric motor attached in front of the eight-speed automatic transmission. The SE’s output is an already massive 789 hp and 701 lb-ft of torque; the SE Performante ups that ante to 800 hp and 738 lb-ft.
