There&#8217;s a unique front fascia, plus a new hood which at this point looks to be devoid of vents. The internals of the headlights are also new and are likely Volkswagen Group&#8217;s next-generation matrix LED design which promises to be brighter and more precise than the current technology.<\/p>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t clear what Lamborghini has planned for the powertrain. A likely bet is the Urus&#8217; current twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 paired with a single electric motor. Expect the electric motor to be integrated with the transmission, just like in the plug-in hybrid versions of the related Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.<\/p>\n<p>With the aid of an electric motor, the Urus plug-in hybrid may become the most powerful variant in the Urus lineup, a title currently held by the 567-hp Urus Performante. A small electric range should also be possible, to enable the Urus to travel in cities that place restrictions on vehicles without electric or low-emission modes.<\/p>\n<p>A version of the Urus&#8217; V-8 plug-in hybrid system is expected to power the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1137202_lamborghini-huraca-n-successor-to-downsize-to-turbo-v-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hurac\u00e1n successor<\/a>, a car that is expected to arrive before the end of 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamborghini last year launched its final car powered solely by an internal-combustion engine in the form of the Hurac\u00e1n Sterrato.
