Lamborghini's Electrification Milestone with the Urus SE Super SUV
The plug-in hybrid Lamborghini Urus SE had its US unveiling in New York in April 2023, marking a significant addition to Lamborghini's electrification efforts As the most formidable iteration of the Urus line, it integrates a twin-turbo 4.0 V8 engine with a 25-kWh lithium-ion battery This combo churns out an immense 800 CV (789 horsepower) allowing the Urus SE to accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds. Its distinct electric motor embedded within the 8-speed automatic gearbox serves dual functions: providing an electric boost to the V8 and enabling the super SUV to operate entirely on electric power, thus converting it into a fully electric 4WD The Urus SE can journey over 37.28 miles on its EV mode alone This step is part of the brand's broader trajectory towards decarbonization, which initiated with the launch of the Revuelto in March 2023. Lamborghini has experienced exceptional growth in sales, with the global demand for the Urus climbing from 5,367 units in 2022 to 6,087 in 2023, further emphasizing the model's success Deliveries to customers are slated to commence before the close of 2024.
