The Urus model lineup now consists of two trims: S and new Performante, the latter of which was previewed with revised styling earlier this year. Lamborghini is referring to the new S model as the "successor" to the original Urus, delivering the same basic package capable of even more performance. We also know there's surely a hybrid version in development, with an all-electric model a few years down the pipeline, but those details will come much later.

In the meantime, the Lamborghini Urus S is powered by a twin-turbo V-8 still delivering 666 horsepower in most markets (the margin notes explain that the power will be limited to 640 hp in China), and 627 lb-ft of torque, linked to an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Lamborghini also says the S and Performante share the same powertrain calibration. Now wait a minute, isn't this just the Performante? So what's the actual difference between the two?

Well the Performante is still a lighter SUV, with a claimed weight savings of around 104 pounds, which mostly comes from swapping in a lot of carbon fiber body panels and interior bits, and adding stuff like a titanium exhaust and lightweight wheels. (How much do the rear seats in the S weigh? Are they really necessary?) However, the resulting difference in the acceleration numbers between the two new SUVs is barely distinguishable; the Performante gets from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds, where it takes the new S slightly longer at 3.5 seconds, according to Lamborghini. Both the S and Performante are rated at 14.1 l/100km on the European WLTP testing cycle, which translates to about 16.7 MPG.
