Lamborghini Urus S is a subdued Performante without aggressive body

The new 2023 Lamborghini Urus S is as performance-oriented as its Performante sibling, just without the extravagant bodywork. Consider this mid-cycle refresh as a subdued Raging Bull, if such even exists.

This means that the Lamborghini SUV will now be sold in two flavours, either the Urus Performante which takes things to 11, or this Urus S which will more likely be the model that bolsters the Italian automaker’s sales. 

The 4,0-litre V8 engine under the angular bonnet of the 2023 Lamborghini Urus S now puts out 490 kW and 850 N.m which is the same output that the Performante boasts however this hasn’t been put on the 47 kg diet of its wider and more ludicrous sibling. As a result, it isn’t as fast but it certainly isn’t slow. The facelifted Raging Bull will now sprint to 100 km/h in 3,5 seconds which is 0,2 slower than the Performante. The model will top out at 305 km/h which means it is still in contention to keep up with the DBX and the Purosangue.

That all means that the best-selling Lamborghini model of all time isn’t falling behind its competition. So what else has changed other than its bump up in performance? The 2023 Lamborghini Urus S is more customisable than ever with buyers able to specify their super SUV with an exposed carbon fibre roof, black exhaust tips and wheels up to 23-inches large. The mid-cycle refresh also receives a standard stainless steel underbody component while optional trim around the model can be painted or finished with matte or gloss carbon fibre.

Considering all Lamborghini models will receive some form of electrification by 2024, this will also likely be the last derivative of its kind to feature pure ICE power.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
