New Lamborghini Urus S Is a Less Shouty Performante – CNET [CNET]
The Urus S’ upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 matches the output of the Performante, with 657 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. That’s an increase of 16 hp over the old base model that the Urus S replaces, and Lamborghini says it will hit 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 189 mph, 0.2 seconds and 1 mph off of the Performante.
That’s partially because while the Performante weighs 104 pounds less than the outgoing Urus, the Urus S doesn’t have any of that new model’s weight savings, nor does it get the Performante’s lowered steel suspension. Instead, the Urus S keeps the regular Urus’ adaptive air suspension.
What the Urus S does gain are most of the Performante’s styling tweaks. The new front bumper has larger intakes, and the carbon-fiber hood has integrated air vents. The rear bumper also has a tweaked design, but the Urus S does without the Performante’s rad spoiler. Wheels range from 21 to 23 inches, with the biggest set now available with a bronze finish. The Urus S’ interior gets a host of new color and trim options too.
The Urus S should go on sale by the beginning of 2023 with a price likely a little higher than the current Urus’ pricetag of around $220,000. Lamborghini has built more than 20,000 Uruses (Urusi?) since its introduction in 2018, and with more variants on the horizon — including a hybrid — that number is sure to continue rapidly growing.
