The Lamborghini Urus S features the same 657bhp output as the Performante range-topper, but chassis tweaks make it a much more useable machine on UK roads -
From the moment the S’s V8 announces it’s firing on all cylinders with a roar to wake the dead , to its eagerness to demonstrate everything it is capable of all of the time, it’s clear the Urus S really isn’t interested in being subtle. In its softest Strada mode the V8’s throttle response is as sharp as its VW Group relatives are when wound up to Sport, and the shifts of the eight-speed auto gearbox are equally quick/abrupt in its mildest setting as others are when dialled up a level higher.
Switch to Sport mode and the aggression increases, the throttle harder to modulate, the transmission thumping home every upshift. I’m not sure when you’d think Corsa was a good option, but on the road it’s the Urus S’s biggest enemy, just as the requirement to cycle through every drive mode in order to return to Comfort is all a bit counter-intuitive.
Push too hard and the front runs away with itself as expected; lift off the throttle and the tail quickly swings into line and is just as willing to keep going. Suffice to say it’s not the most intuitive machine to balance on the limit of its capabilities, and if it’s cold and damp the optional Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres slide across the surface despite the mass squeezing them into it.
It’s easy to criticise the Urus. From its overly busy exterior and interior design to its raucous attitude and ‘always on’ approach, you need to forgive a great deal before you can appreciate what Lamborghini’s engineers have achieved. It’s not the car for us, but the 20,000-plus that have already been delivered do allow Sant’Agata to continue to build those oh-so-special, not-so-subtle machines of our dreams.
