We quietly promised ourselves we wouldn't use the murdered-out, Batman, or Gotham City references when it comes to all-black whips. But it's tricky to write about this particular Lamborghini Urus without saying any of the above, so, in essence, we failed to keep that promise.
You see, not all rides can proudly rock a widebody conversion, but throw in an all-black look, and most of them will be even more head-turning. The same goes for the pictured Lamborghini Urus, which is in the Performante configuration, meaning that it rocks additional goodies over the Urus S for more fun days at the local racetrack.
That's right, despite being a family-friendly hauler with a decent-sized trunk and enough room between its belly and the road to leave the comfort of smooth asphalt behind it occasionally, its chassis tune, beefed-up brakes, clever aerodynamics, and powerful V8 allow it to post some quick lap times. In fact, it will beat some well-known supercars from the recent past in between the apexes.
However, this story isn't about how quick the Urus Performante is but how good the one pictured in the gallery above looks. It came from RDB LA on Instagram, and in essence, it boasts a widebody conversion and a murdered-out design. It appears the tuner kept the stock bumper at the front, to which it gave a few add-ons for a more menacing stance, joined by a new hood with a different vented styling.
It sports a pair of spoilers at the rear and a new diffuser that does not integrate an extra brake light in the middle. The quad exhaust tips look stock to us, and we cannot ignore the side skirt add-ons and the fatter fender flares. The entire exterior sports a satin black finish (or is it a wrap?), and the concave wheels, which spin around the yellow brake calipers, came from the aftermarket world, and we think it would've been even more head-turning with tinted front windows.
Since the tuner hasn't mentioned the engine, we will assume it has remained untouched. The stock Urus Performante boasts a devilish 666 horses, which are metric, translating to 657 brake horsepower and 490 kilowatts. The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine develops 627 pound-feet (850 Nm) of torque, deploying it to the all-wheel drive system with a limited-slip central differential through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Due to the punchy motor and the weight shaved over the pre-facelifted iteration, Lamborghini's top version of the super crossover takes only 3.3 seconds to cover the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) acceleration. That's just one-tenth shy of the Huracan in the LP 610-4 specification. The top speed, on the other hand, is 190 mph (306 kph). In the US, the Urus Performante kicks off at around $265,000.
