Can you remember how many tuned copies of the Lamborghini Urus you've seen over the last six years since production of the brand's first super crossover (the LM 002 was a truck) commenced? Likely not, as it feels like every big tuning company out there has some components on its shelves for it.
From new wheels, often with a larger diameter than the stock ones, to all sorts of wacky body kits, reupholstered interiors, and numerous power boosts, the Lamborghini Urus can be fitted with basically everything you could think of tuning-wise. There is even a two-door coupe version of it that's straight ugly and impractical, so this is one model that has sparked the interest of many tuning houses.
Mansory does not seem to have had enough of it. The controversial company has signed numerous examples of the Lamborghini Urus over the years, and it is now targeting the facelifted iteration in both the Urus S and Urus Performante configurations with its usual Venatus proposal. But what is a Venatus? A flashy take on the vehicle that brings revised looks inside and out and more oomph.
Standing out like a sore thumb, it has a two-tone look with teal and black mixing together on various body styles, joined by forged carbon. This proposal has multiple add-ons all around, including the new apron, side skirts, and rear diffuser, comes with all sorts of fake vents, a new hood, fender flares, and not one but two spoilers out back for a more OTT stance. The wheels also came from the aftermarket world, and they're not bad at all.

To tie it to the exterior, Mansory has given a minty look to the cockpit, which features lots of teal-finished leather. The seats, dashboard panel, steering wheel, door cards, center console, armrests, and other components were reupholstered. And to make sure that you won't forget the tuner behind this project, it has left its mark on numerous parts, including the steering wheel, headrests, seatbelts, floor mats, entry sills, and so on.
The pictured Urus is in the S configuration, but as we already told you, the upgrades are also available for the Urus Performante. And they're not all about making it look more aggressive, as Mansory has also boosted its power to 900 ps (887 hp/662 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque.
That's a healthy jump over the standard 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which produces 666 ps (657 hp/490 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) in the S and Performante versions of the super crossover. The Urus S takes 3.5 seconds to 100 kph (62 mph), with a 305 kph (189 mph) top speed, and the Performante is two-tenth quicker and tops out at 306 kph (190 mph). The Venatus is said to run out of breath at 325 kph (202 mph).
