Keyboard warriors have the tendency to oversimplify things and refer to the Lamborghini Urus as nothing more than a Volkswagen Touareg with a raging bull badge because the two share the same MLB Evo platform. However, a new video shot at Hockenheim is further proof that the folks from Sant'Agata Bolognese have built a truly exciting performance vehicle that happens to have a family-friendly SUV format.
Sport Auto took the newly released Performante version around the famous track and needed 1 minute and 55.8 seconds to complete a lap of the Grand Prix layout. It was only a tenth of a second slower than a Porsche 911 Carrera T but 1.1 seconds quicker than a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, with both previously tested by the same German magazine. At 2,150 kilograms (4,739 pounds) in European specification, it's safe to say the Urus Perfomante was one of the heaviest vehicles to perform a hot lap at the challenging circuit.
