Italian supercar producer Lamborghini, in business since 1963, is also proceeding, incrementally, toward battery power. In an interview, Federico Foschini, Lamborghini’s chief global marketing and sales officer, talked about the new Urus SE plug-in hybrid the company showed at its lounge in New York on Monday.

Even Lamborghini needs to go electric, and so the Italian supercar maker’s updated Urus SUV now comes with plug-in hybrid power for the first time.

Lamborghini is calling its new plug-in hybrid SUV the Urus SE. Behind its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine making 611 hp and 590 pounds-feet of torque, an electric motor nestles into the eight-speed automatic transmission’s housing.

The Lamborghini Urus is the automaker's most popular model. A new plug-in hybrid is the most powerful version yet.

Following up on the Revuelto plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that launched last year to replace the Aventador supercar, Lamborghini’s electrification journey will continue with the higher-volume 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE,

The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE pairs a twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor for a total of 789 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque to blast down the highway. It’s faster than the current Urus, with a 0-62mph sprint of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 193mph.

The Lamborghini Urus SE breaks new ground for the luxury supercar brand because it's the first plug-in hybrid Super SUV. The post Lamborghini’s first plug-in hybrid Super SUV: The Urus is more powerful than ever appeared first on The Manual.
