A wolf in bull's clothing
Discretion is a word nowhere to be found in Lamborghini's vocabulary, and the Urus Performante is no exception to this rule. With 657 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque produced by a modified, Audi-sourced, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, the Urus truly is a wolf in bull's clothing, with plenty of muscle to match its feisty appearance. This is no ordinary, off-the-shelf Urus; this is the Performante. The Performante offers 16 horsepower over the standard Urus, as well as a stiffer suspension, 20mm lower ride height, a lighter chassis, countless carbon fiber bits and bobs, and thus requires a skilled driver behind the wheel who understands how to make the most of these modifications. If that sounds like you, then today's your lucky day. This particular 2023 Lamborghini Urus Performante is for sale right now on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check it out by clicking here.
This black bull is finished in Nero Helene Metallic over Nero Cosmus leather and suede upholstery with Rosso Alala accents. It was configured with a Full Carbon Exterior Package, the upgraded Bang & Olufsen Advanced 3D Sound System, and paint protection film. Even in full stealth garb, the Lamborghini Urus Performante can't help but draw attention, and its various bright red accents both inside and out provide not-so-subtle hints at its extreme performance capabilities.

And performance it doth have. Although the occasional bratty teenager might mock and shout, "It's just a rebadged Volkswagen Touareg!" at the weekly cars & coffee meetup, rest assured that the Urus's many platform-sharing mates are for the better, not for the worse. That's because the Urus Performante sits on the same competent and delicious underpinnings as the top three production SUV Nurburgring lap time record holders: the Audi RS Q8 Performance, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, and the Audi RS Q8, respectively (according to our very own Steven Fogel). The Urus Performante is capable of reaching speeds of up to 190 miles per hour and can sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.3 seconds. That's Ferrari Purosangue territory, which tops out at just 3 miles per hour more and accelerates from 0 to 60 in the same blink of an eye, but costs upwards of $433,000.
Strikingly bold, subtly technical
It's capable of comfort, too, as the plush and lavish Bentley Bentayga also utilizes the MLB Evo platform to transport many of the world's most influential and discerning dilettantes. The Urus Performante, however, is not a toy for dilettantes. This is a toy for people who love all things extreme. Dentists and realtors often seek out the Porsche Cayenne, the Bentayga tends to attract people who hunt quail, and the standard Urus is a go-to for social media influencers. The Urus Performante, on the other hand, is more likely to be driven by the likes of Red Bull-sponsored athletes, defense engineers, and people who actually do take their Rolexes underwater. This car means serious business, and its business is providing abundant yet precise speed and handling, while still being capable of transporting three to four of your most trusted allies and their Rimowa luggage.
