The Urus SUV, boosted to 1095 hp, becomes the most powerful new Lamborghini (yet)

While Lamborghini wrote a new page in its history with the Revuelto and its 1,015 hp hybrid V12, followed by the ultra-limited edition Fenomeno peaking at 1,080 hp, no one expected to see another of the brand's models surpass these figures so quickly. And yet, Mansory, the German tuner as famous as it is controversial, is the one to watch.

Lamborghini Urus SE transformed into Venatus

The Lamborghini Urus SE is already a technical success. With its 4.0L V8 plug-in hybrid delivering 800 hp and 950 Nm of torque, it represents Sant'Agata's entry into the world of electrified SUVs. This SUV is a great success in the United States, where it accounts for almost 50 % of sales. But for Mansory, this was clearly just a starting point.

Presented at the exclusive Monaco Yacht Show, the Mansory Venatus SE is no low-key affair. With its large carbon-fiber body kit, enlarged air intakes, three-outlet exhaust, 24-inch forged wheels and redesigned headlamps, the Urus is visually transformed into a behemoth, designed to attract attention on the Croisette... or in the streets of Dubai.

1,095 hp and 1,250 Nm: a record for a new Lamborghini

Beneath this aggressive exterior, Mansory's engineers have pushed the powertrain far beyond the original 800 hp. The result: 1,095 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque! That's enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, and aim for a top speed of 330 km/h.

With such figures, this SUV becomes paradoxically more powerful than the recent Lamborghini Fenomeno. Even Mansory's own Revuelto, with a maximum output of 1,070 hp, lags behind. The Venatus SE is the most powerful Lamborghini of the moment.

However, this monster of power will not be available to everyone. Mansory has confirmed a limited production run of just 7 examples, each of which can be customized at the request of its future owner. Materials, colors, interior finishes: no two Venatus SEs will be identical, reinforcing the aura of exclusivity of this extraordinary model.

The battle is just beginning

This preparation raises an interesting question. Lamborghini could push the hybrid V8 beyond 1,000 hp, since Ferrari recently demonstrated with the F80 that a hybrid V6 could reach 1,200 hp. The race for power is on like never before, and the two Italian brands seem to be challenging each other from a distance in this field.

Whether you love Mansory styling or hate it, it's hard to remain indifferent to this SUV. By surpassing the pisance of Lamborghini's latest official creations, the Venatus SE is a reminder that independent tuners still know how to surprise.
