812 HP Urus SE Performante Attacks Goodwood
Lamborghini's hybrid Super SUV makes its first public dynamic appearance at the Festival of Speed.
A Urus SE Performante launched itself up the Goodwood Hill Climb this week, its twin-turbo V8 barking through an Akrapovic titanium exhaust while a permanent-magnet electric motor filled every gap in the powerband with instant torque.
Lamborghini's full hybrid lineup on display at Goodwood
Lamborghini sent four hybrid-powered cars up the hill across the four-day event, including the Performante flagship, a Urus SE, a Temerario Alleggerita, and a Revuelto — proof that the combustion-only chapter of the current lineup is closed.
The Revuelto takes its 1,015 hp V12 up the famous 1.16-mile course
Four out of five Urus buyers come to Lamborghini for the first time, according to Urus product line director Stefano Cossalter, which means the SUV builds the customer base that eventually buys a Temerario or a Revuelto.
The ANIMA selector with Rally mode highlighted
Rally mode's retention in the hybrid Performante confirms that Lamborghini views the electric motor as compatible with the kind of sideways, dirt-road heroics that made the original Urus Performante a genuine LM002 spiritual successor.
Gessato Tweed interior — Lamborghini's sartorial challenge to supercar convention
Lamborghini showcased a Temerario featuring Gessato Tweed interior inserts, a pinstriped textile with a distinctly sartorial character that represents a deliberate move away from the carbon-fiber-and-Alcantara formula dominating supercar interiors.

The SE Performante represents the peak of the current Urus platform, combining the highest power output, the most advanced aerodynamics, and the hybrid architecture that will define Lamborghini's regulatory future.
Lamborghini's Goodwood hospitality drew crowds around its hybrid range
Lamborghini sent the Performante flagship, a Urus SE in Blu Uranus, a Temerario Alleggerita in matte Blu Okeanos, and a Revuelto in Grigio Artis — every single one running a hybrid powertrain.

The SE Performante adds a 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery and a permanent-magnet electric motor integrated into the gearbox, then compensates for the mass through sheer output: 146 more horsepower and 150 Nm more torque than the car it replaces.
The Temerario and Revuelto share the Ad Personam lounge at Goodwood
Each car in the hybrid lineup uses electric motors as a performance multiplier rather than a fuel-economy afterthought — the Revuelto's three motors provide torque vectoring, the Temerario's system enables a 10,000 rpm redline, and the Urus SE Performante's single motor eliminates turbo lag.

The Akrapovic titanium exhaust system shapes the acoustic signature for the moments when the V8 is working hardest, while the electric motor handles low-speed duties silently.

A wall of paint sample speedforms in the hospitality area invited guests to explore the full color palette, with consultants on hand to walk prospective buyers through the specification process.
Goodwood was Lamborghini's opening argument — the verdict belongs to the road
The Performante name now stands for maximum output rather than minimum weight, and whether 812 hp and instant electric torque can make a heavier car feel more alive than a lighter one with less power will be answered when independent reviewers get extended seat time.
