My opinion:

Whoever bought the regular Urus for listprice back then made the best deal ever.

• Good price (only a bit more expensive than the TGT is now)
• Fist super-suv
• Looks 99,9% the same as current models (S and Perf), especially in black
• Almost the same performance, driving experience and sound (Akra sounds only slightly better) as newer versions

Current Urus S and Perf both are only better if you are a fan of the brand, because only then you notice the differences. And even then, not by far ..

I wish i would have bought the Urus the second it hit the market. I could have driven a car that didn't change its looks for 10 years and it wouldn't have cost me anyting, bc used Uruses still cost a lot.


(And the Performante might have been upgraded a little bit, but imo it's still far away from deserving the Performante-Badge. And i say this as a Performante-Owner)

You know I’m in houston right? You saw 8 perfs? That’s odd considering there’s only 3 with carbon here. There’s mine, there’s a navy blue one, and a verde selvans and one that’s it. I live in maybe the best part of town and I don’t see 8 urus in a month, you must really be on the prowl. I’m putting gas right now as I reply to you. I’m sure you recognize where this is.

I thought it was on obvious that I was talking about Urus in general, when talking about spotting them. Yes... I can read, which is why I even mentioned Houston. No, I have no idea where that gas station is, as I don't live there, just visiting family in the Memorial Villages area.

You come across as really desperate for people to acknowledge how "special" your car is. There's nothing wrong with loving your car, but you can't expect anyone else to care that you spent xyz for the abc trim.

I come across as desperate bc I’m telling you how ignorant you sound saying the car isn’t special? You’re rambling on about how regular urus aren’t special. Do you still not realize how ignorant you sound? Of course normal people don’t know what a perf is, but you said the cars aren’t unique. Whatever this is a dumb argument, it takes a special kind of person to think any urus isn’t special.

First of all, the exhaust on the Turbo GT is already a titanium Akrapovic exhaust directly from the factory. So your argument on the Akrapovic doesn't hold at all. While the engine in Urus is from Porsche, Porsche took the liberty of adding more special parts into the Turbo GT to make it perform differently than the engine in the Urus. This is why the gen 1 Turbo GT outperforms the Urus Performante. You can imagine the gen 2 Turbo GT spanking the Urus Performante even more.

"I can't even remember being mobbed everywhere i go in any other daily driver I've had"

I think this sums up the ownership experience of the Urus/Urus Performante. If you want to be seen and wow everyone with your daily, then the Urus is definitely the way to go. Some of us likes to be low key with their daily, so having a Turbo GT is the better route. There is no wrong choice here.

I would argue against your take on the Purosangue. I think the V12 alone is worth entrance price and you will definitely see a lot less of them than the Urus. Every housewife in my neighborhood drives a Urus. I think there are 38 Urus in my neighborhood alone based on the marketing data from my Lambo dealer. I'm in Hidden Hills CA, home of the Kardashians clan, so these things are very common in my area. I used to live in River Oaks many years ago, but the car scene in Houston is very small in comparison to LA.

While this is a Lambo forum, I feel like there are a lot of members here whom appreciate cars from all brands. I own cars from different brands as well and I appreciate them all. I call them as I see them. I like the Aventador looks but I think the gearbox is ****. I like the Revuelto's new V12 engine but I think it's way too heavy and the hybrid tech is not modern enough.

This thread cracks me up, you guys do 0-60 runs all day long? For me, the exhaust alone on the perf makes it the greatest family car in existence, the porsche will never have the crackles and pops of the akrapovic. The perf is jaw dropping, I can't even remember being mobbed everywhere i go in any other daily driver I've had. I don't like that aspect of owning a yellow perf, but it's something you will never get a cayenne turbo gt lol. The perf gets so much hate from so many sides, I get it, the thing is not worth the additionally $70k over my old black urus. It's just not. Hell I paid $50k over that, $385k, that is a ton of money for any car, much less a car with a few tweaks and some carbon bits. That's the whole point of the perf, it's supposed to be exclusive and special. The thing stands out like no other 4 door ever will, not even the purosangue. I actually cancelled my purosangue order after I sat in one and drove it, aside from the 4 seat configuration, the car is pretty blah, especially for $500k. If you think of what the purosangue costs, the perf actually looks reasonable even at $50k over sticker.

My wife like the Purosangue the most usually she could care less. I will see if this has any effect which I decide to keep. One other thing to factor is that the Urus is the most practical, there is a fair amount of room in the back seats and rear cargo area which does matter to me.

I know it's made out of titanium, but where do i find the information that it is made by Akrapovic? (Not that it matters)

And the Tubo GT does not sound as good as the Urus with Akrapovic .. i did compare those two.

Believe me I understand. I've said in my posts on here I don't even want a yellow one, I had a black urus as you can see below but when the demo came and then Lamborghini cancelled the perf with all the carbon, It was either get the demo or accept that I won't get one with the carbon roof and hood. So I took the yellow one, it's not what I wanted and next week it's going for sale because I found a black perf. With that said, every damn review on YouTube is all about how the car is overpriced, the turbo gt is better, blah blah. Look my dad has an S580, I think it's better than the rolls dawn below, it just is, but that doesn't mean the dawn isn't "special" or better. The Urus is an amazing car, I split my time between houston and Miami and yes in Miami you see countless Urus, but even then I've never seen a perf there. The perf has a much nicer finish, the urus I had felt cheap and it was an elegante. Even that exotic car hacks guy made a vid recently saying look I don't think it's worth $50k more than a urus comparing his perf to the urus, but he said the fit and finish is nicer. Cars have just gotten expensive. The next e63s final edition wagon was $177k last week. The one I had before it was $130k. Everything is up, and yea sure the Porsche is a great car and value, but nothing Lamborghini has ever done has been about being fairly priced. The new reveuelto is a silly price over $700k for a mass production car when the 1 of 350 ultimae is cheaper but what can you do? Protest and not buy it? The perf is a very cool car, I get many haven't experienced it, but it is far better than a Urus. It's far better than a cayenne turbo gt, and frankly most don't even factor in the relationship with a dealer where you're buying to get future allocations on other cars. If I want a revuelto, sterrato, whatever. The Cayenne turbo gt isn't going to help me get either. This is a Lamborghini forum, I figured most of these guys would get that.

There you go!

 

[Leon]

Thank you for the picture, i didn't know that. (But the car still sounds not as good as the Urus 🤭 )

 

[neosky]

Agreed. It's just in the engine tuning.

If you drive the TGT in Sport Plus mode, the exhaust is much louder than Sport or Normal. But Lambo needs to be loud, as it should!

Is the TGT as fast as a Model X plaid? Shouldn't we all drive Model Xes then?

 

[neosky]

First of all, don't listen to that Exotic Car Hack guy. He's pumping bad information and knowledge online and I feel bad for those who follow him.

Second, if we are really comparing build quality and materials here, here is the breakdown. The Urus is based on the Q8 platform and over 75% of it is from the Audi. The navigation screen is from the Porsche Tacan and all of the switch gears except the central main lever (this one is Lambo made), are from Audi. So you can't argue that the Lambo is better made than a Porsche Cayenne. I would say the build quality between a TGT and Urus P is about the same. So what's different in your Urus? Well, they leather wrapped many of the plastic components in the Audi parts, which makes it nice to touch and to see. You also have a few pieces in carbon fiber on the Urus P that the Audi doesn't have.

So when you say the Lambo is better made, it's not. Is it a cool car? Absolutely. As for your need to pay a mark up to get future allocations from your Lambo dealer? Well, good luck to you on that, as I'm at a point in my life where I don't need to deal with this side of business anymore with my relationships.

Even that exotic car hacks guy made a vid recently saying look I don't think it's worth $50k more than a urus comparing his perf to the urus, but he said the fit and finish is nicer. Cars have just gotten expensive. The next e63s final edition wagon was $177k last week. The one I had before it was $130k.

That's not an apple to apple comparison is it? More like an apple to bbq brisket comparison

[Capsfan]

It's irrelevant to the discussion. I doubt decisions are made because of 0 to 60 times.

 

[tbuff]

Literally up the page people are saying the Cayenne TGT smokes the Urus.

 

[Capsfan]

Only people that aren't real buyers.

 

[Jr Mint]

Whoever says the Urus Perf isn’t unique is a little out there. A Urus in general is unique, a Perf is ultra unique.

Cayenne GT is also a great SUV, and it should be for $200k.

A lot of comments made are subjective, but what isn’t subjective is that it’s special and unique. There are only a small amount that have even been delivered, and no one can even get one.

You want an rsq8? Go for it. It’s a nice SUV. It’s not a Urus. The Camaro and corvette back in the day shared a lot of the same stuff as well but the vette was double the price.

A lot of the stuff said in here and honestly on all forums just sounds like bashing on a car some people just can’t buy.

I love the Urus. I had a 22 and it was amazing and I only sold it because my Perf is coming next month. I also spent time in an rsq8 and it was super. Again, it’s no Urus. Only people that say it is are those that don’t want to spend the money.

Just distance yourself from toxic forum members and don't reply them on their bullshits.The member you are responding is ignorant to say the least.I don't want to be rude and use bad epithets for him,this is a person without any respect for others.It is not worth the effort and wasted energy to comment.I personally agree with all your statements about Urus Performante, expensive and not for everyone. Porsche is not bad too ,but it is oriented in a completely different way for customers and the market, exclusivity is not his force for sure

it’s just Internet forums in general. That’s why I avoided them like the plague till now. Lots of guys who don’t own stuff with very strong opinions on things out of their reach. It is what it is. I don’t think you’ll find a performante owner who cares that the perf is $200k more than a cayenne turbo gt. That is only something you find on Internet forums and car reviewers. People buying a urus performante aren’t cross shopping it with anything else bc frankly no other 4 door is as special at this moment. I actually am picking up a black one next week and my yellow one is going up for sale.
