BIZARRE: Electric dream car lamborghini urus se hybrid | Mind Blowing Facts

The hybrid electric boost, supplementing the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, makes for an extremely powerful alliance of old and new technologies - (Sean O'Grady)

I’ve just been driving the fastest production SUV in the world. Or, at least, that’s according to its manufacturer, Lamborghini, who make this claim for their new Urus “SE”, a plug-in hybrid, a first for the brand.

It’s superb; and, if it’s possible, great value for the quarter of a million pounds it’d cost to acquire. Thanks in part to that hybrid electric boost, which leaves some 800 bhp at your disposal, and usefully supplements the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine – an extremely powerful alliance of old and new technologies. Thus, the Urus SE will reach a top speed of 194 mph and sprint to 60mph in about the time it takes you to read these very words (3.4 seconds, to be precise).
