The 2023 Lamborghini Urus lineup is getting more exclusive than ever with the special edition Urus Performante Essenza SCV12. The SUV will see a very limited production run of only 40 units reserved solely to existing SCV12 track-only hypercar owners. The Essenza SCV12 trim does not receive any powertrain upgrades, even if it wears the SCV12 badge, the Performante’s twin-turbocharged V8 is still producing 656hp under the hood. All upgrades are focused on matching styles with the track Essenza track car. Matching paint and plenty of carbon-carbon options are available. No prices have been announced yet, but hopefully, it will be less expensive than the SCV12, which starts at €2.2 Million.
The special edition Urus receives notable exterior updates, including a striking two-tone finish with a sleek blacked-out lower portion and a prominent racing number at the front. In addition to the captivating color options, the SUV also showcases an abundance of exposed carbon fiber trim adorning the engine hood, roof, sills, mirror caps, and the panel between the rear taillamps adding an overall sporty appearance. Customers also have the option to select either a glossy or matte finish for these carbon fiber accents. The SUV also sits on larger 23-inch wheels (21-inch wheels are offered on the standard model) featuring an elegant glossy black finish, complemented by matching brake callipers. Moreover, buyers can customize their SUV by choosing from a range of different styled alloy wheels and brake calliper colors through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program. Additionally, the SUV also features a matching contrasting color roof line reminiscent of the Essenza SCV12.
The interior updates include black Alcantara upholstery and a carbon fiber trim (available in a matte or glossy shade). The car also gets a special silhouette logo of the vehicle along with its name on the dashboard positioned in front of the driver. Lastly, the interior also offers unique black anodized aluminium elements and contrasting red door handles.
Although it carries the SCV12 nameplate instead of using a V12 powertrain, the limited edition Urus uses the same 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 that powers the standard Performante SUV making 656 hp (666 PS) of peak power and 850 Nm of maximum torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are carried over from the standard model. The mammoth SUV can sprint from 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds. For those doubting its capability, the Urus Performante became the fastest SUV at pikes peak recently, beating the previous record-holder SUV by 17 seconds. Lamborghini did not mention the prices of this limited edition model. Still, it will hopefully cost a lot less than the €2.2 Million track-Only Lamborghini Essenza SCV12, but it would not be a bargain.
