However, it looks like that's about to change based on a mysterious new teaser image that the Italian marque released today, showing what appears to be a high-performance variant that would certainly spice things up a bit.A new chapter is taking shape.Join us live on https://t.co/VHPdvIp2EL and YouTube.July 1st. Save the date.#Lamborghini pic.twitter.com/9WOlGZIKw3— Lamborghini (@Lamborghini) June 25, 2026The image shared on Lamborghini's social media channels shows the shrouded rear end of a lime-colored Urus. What captures our attention is the prominent spoiler rising from the lip of the rear liftgate, along with the low-profile wing that extends from the SUV's roofline. The company wrote on Twitter: "A new chapter is taking shape. Join us live on lamborghini.com and YouTube. July 1st. Save the Date." So, obviously, we should find out a lot more details about the new Urus variant next Wednesday, but in the meantime, let's cook up a little speculation, shall we?Previous Urus Performante.Marc Urbano - Car and DriverWhen the Urus first went on sale for the 2019 model year, it was powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 pumping out 641 horsepower, enough to catapult it to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. By the time 2023 rolled around, the Urus's engine output was bumped to 657 ponies, and a track-tuned Performante variant joined the party with a unique suspension, larger wheels and race-grade rubber, and a diet regimen that lowered its weight. Flash forward to 2026, and every Urus still has a V-8, only it's assisted by an electric motor that together combine for a whopping 789 hp. While Lamborghini has said all future performance derivatives will be hybrids, we fully expect the forthcoming Urus to adopt the Performance philosophy, even if it goes by a different name.➡️ Skip the lot.
