Surprise: Lamborghini Urus SE Performante in testing features a roof light bar

Spotted in testing, the Lamborghini Urus SE Performante appears with an illumination bar on the roof, a detail that is already sparking curiosity among enthusiasts. Performante models usually increase power, brakes, and chassis rigidity; the current Urus already has the 657 hp variant, and this prototype seems to be working on the plug-in hybrid (SE) system.

It is likely to be the most powerful Urus in the lineup, as the normal PHEV delivers 789 hp.

Design and bodywork

Close-ups show carbon fiber arches on the fenders, wider to accommodate 22-inch wheels. Although they seem to favor aesthetics, the fiber may offer lightness without significantly compromising total weight, even if the benefit is more visual than practical.

The light bar and aerodynamics

The illumination bar installed on top might just be in the testing phase. If we recall the Huracan Sterrato, which already used something similar, it is clear that Lamborghini avoids suction cup mounts in production, but the idea of a bar remains interesting for prototype charm.

Power, engine, and transmission

With two intercoolers visible through the grille, bets are on the already known 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 combined with a plug-in hybrid system. The lingering question is whether this setup can reach 850 hp or even 900 hp. Regardless, the force should be transmitted to all axles, maintaining the model's characteristic all-wheel drive.

When is it arriving?

Lamborghini has not yet confirmed the reveal date, but the car is expected as a 2027 model. Among fans and the curious, some even speculate on the participation of celebrities, such as NBA owner LaMelo Ball, in an opening event – a rumor circulating among readers.
