![]() The braking hardware is unchanged from the standard Urus, but the new bumper has improved cooling. Retardation is both as huge and consistent as it should be given the size of the 17.3-inch carbon-ceramic front discs, reckoned by Lamborghini to be the largest fitted to any production car, with these gripped by ten-pot calipers. Vallelunga’s longest straight is well under half a mile long, but the Performante’s speedometer was nearing 140mph at the end of it.Īt which point the narrative should probably shift to smoking brakes and the chatter of understeering rubber. More of the Performante’s sensation of speed is down to angry high-rev rasp of the new exhaust system, and the savage rate at which it devours its lower gearbox ratios. Both those numbers can be taken as a worst-case, stumbled start scenario: the regular Urus has already proved itself capable of blasting through an American-grade 0-60mph in just 3.2-seconds. Only part of that is down to the actual increase in its ability to generate longitudinal G-forces on Lamborghini’s numbers its Euro-spec 3.3-sec 0-62mph (0-100km/h) time is 0.3-sec better than the base car, and its 11.5-sec 0-124mph (0-200km/h) is 1.3-sec quicker. The existing Urus is already brutally fast, but the Performante feels immediately quicker. We’re through the looking glass here, people. Lamborghini will also be offering Performante buyers the chance to specify their car with track-biased Trofeo R tires. There is also a new Torsen center differential which can send more power to the rear axle more quickly, while the software settings for the rear axle steering system, eight-speed automatic transmission, 48 Volt anti-roll system and torque vectoring rear differential have all been revised to improve track performance. That means the Performante can no longer vary its ride height, but it also improves high-load responses. The more significant mechanical alteration is a switch from air springs to firmer steel coils, these sitting 0.8-inches lower. ![]()
