MTM and Mansory make the URUS SUV even more attractive

MTM and Mansory have rejoined their forces after their first major collaboration with the Audi RS 6 Avant. The tremendous fruit resulting from this recent cooperation using the Ingolstadt van, caused the two German preparers to unite again. As expected, they exceeded expectations once again, and just a few months after the appearance of the facelift of the Lamborghini Urus.

The Italian SUV passed through the hands of these two specialists who shared the work. Mansory took care of the part that really shines, the aesthetics, and the people at MTM worked on the performance area. The former had a certain advantage, as they had previously used Urus in their catalog of proposals for the most demanding customers, so they developed a completely new carbon fiber kit that made the front more aggressive, with a bigger size of all. grills and air intakes.

The brutal wheel arches, the skirts on the side sills, the two rear spoilers, one on the roof with openings and the other on the edge of the tailgate support the Italian brand's SUV on the asphalt with an important aerodynamic load. As well as the new aerodynamic rear diffuser, with highlighted channels. The most original detail is the new trio of tailpipes arranged in a triangle and the special yellow flashes on the characteristic glossy black paintwork. Without giving a single interior detail, MTM took maximum performance from the powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and 650 hp of maximum power. The specialist installed two larger turbochargers, an improved intake system, a dedicated air filter and an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission booster to support the additional torque, which was generated by increasing the maximum power from 650 to 1,000 cv.

Thus, the maximum torque now reaches 1,250 Nm. As usual in this type of preparations, the performance figures are not disclosed, remaining secret and informed only to really interested customers. But what we do know is that the 3.6 seconds it takes the series production model to reach 100 km/h and a top speed of 306 km/h will certainly be left behind with this important update.
