Brabus turns the Lamborghini Urus mint green and boosts it to 900 horsepower
If anyone thought the Lamborghini Urus had reached the limits of visual impact, Brabus was quick to prove that idea wrong. The German tuning house revealed a 900 horsepower Urus finished in a shade closer to peppermint candy than traditional supercar paint. The result feels both absurd and perfectly calibrated luxury excess.
This is not a car that tries to blend in quietly. Quite the opposite. Brabus built a machine that demands attention and gets it, even when the driver might prefer to stay anonymous.
The starting point is the Lamborghini Urus, whose 4.0 litre V8 was pushed to 900 horsepower and around 1,250 newton metres of torque. The sprint to 100 kilometres per hour takes roughly 3.3 seconds.
Top speed stretches beyond 320 kilometres per hour, a figure that sounds like a bad joke in the context of an SUV, but makes perfect sense in the Brabus universe. All that power runs through a reprogrammed drivetrain designed to cope with the excess.
The exterior leaves little room for interpretation. Bright green paint, widened arches, a heavy handed aerodynamic package and extensive carbon fibre detailing create a look that would not feel out of place outside a luxury hotel in Dubai. The wheels are large and aggressive, because subtlety was never part of the brief.
Inside, the theme continues. Leather, Alcantara and carbon fibre mix in generous doses, with colour accents that echo the mint green exterior. Everything is tailored to the customer’s taste, because at Brabus, standard solutions barely exist.
This car makes no attempt to be rational. It does not talk about fuel consumption or sensible choices, even though it can still carry four people and their luggage if required. The Brabus Urus is a statement of status, power and deliberate excess.
Such cars are ordered by people for whom a standard Urus feels a little too restrained, and whose garages already house several exotic machines. Brabus is not really selling a car here. It is selling the feeling that more is always better.
Rivals offer ever more powerful versions of their own SUVs, but Brabus pushes the boundary a step further on purpose. That is where its customer waits, not asking why, but how soon it can be ready.
