ABT Sportsline Unveils 1,000 HP Transformation for the New Lamborghini Urus SE
KEMPTEN, Germany – As the automotive industry pivots toward electrification, ABT Sportsline, the world’s leading specialist for tuning vehicles from the Volkswagen Group, has officially announced its comprehensive refinement program for the new Lamborghini Urus SE. By taking the already potent Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) powertrain and applying its legendary engineering prowess, the Kempten-based tuner has transformed the Urus SE into a “Super-SUV” that transcends the boundaries of the production model. The flagship configuration of this project achieves the symbolic 1,000 HP mark, positioning the ABT Urus SE as one of the most powerful SUVs currently available on the global market.
The Lamborghini Urus SE represents a shift in the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand’s strategy, merging the raw emotion of a twin-turbo V8 with the efficiency of an electric motor. ABT Sportsline’s goal was to sharpen this duality, providing a visceral aesthetic and mechanical upgrade that emphasizes the vehicle’s motorsport DNA while respecting its modern hybrid architecture.

Aerodynamics: A Masterclass in Visible Carbon Fiber
The visual identity of the ABT Lamborghini Urus SE is defined by its extensive use of high-grade visible carbon fiber. ABT’s designers have developed an aerodynamic package that is as functional as it is aggressive, ensuring that the vehicle maintains stability at the extreme speeds its new powertrain is capable of achieving.
Front and Profile Enhancements
At the front, the Urus SE receives a new carbon fiber front spoiler featuring prominent blades. These elements are designed to optimize airflow into the radiator and brakes while reducing front-axle lift. The carbon fiber theme continues along the sides with bespoke side skirts that give the SUV a lower, more muscular stance. Carbon fiber mirror caps provide a subtle yet distinctive touch, replacing the standard plastic or body-colored units with a high-gloss weave that catches the light.

Rear Dynamics and the Optional Wing
The rear of the vehicle undergoes a more dramatic transformation. ABT has modified the rear skirt to integrate seamlessly with the new exhaust system. However, for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate “Supersport” look, ABT offers an optional rear wing complete with carbon fiber aero blades. This wing is not merely cosmetic; it is engineered to increase downforce on the rear axle during high-speed cornering, effectively turning the “Bull” into a track-ready machine. The mixture of luxury and racing vibes ensures that the ABT Urus SE stands out in any environment, from the streets of Monte Carlo to the high-speed sections of the Autobahn.
Acoustic Mastery: The Stainless Steel Exhaust System
One of the challenges of tuning a modern hybrid is maintaining an emotive soundscape, especially when the vehicle is capable of silent electric operation. ABT has addressed this by developing a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system specifically for the Urus SE’s 4.0-liter V8.
The system features four massive 105 mm endpipe covers, which serve as a clear visual statement of intent. Beyond the looks, the exhaust provides a significantly more emotional soundtrack when the V8 engine is engaged. In EV mode, the Urus SE remains the refined, quiet cruiser Lamborghini intended it to be. However, once the driver switches to “Sport” or “Corsa” mode and the internal combustion engine awakens, the ABT exhaust delivers a deep, guttural roar that reminds onlookers of the V8’s raw power.
Wheels and Handling: 23-Inch Forged IRL Rims
To complement the aggressive bodywork, ABT has equipped the Urus SE with its flagship ABT HIGH PERFORMANCE IRL forged wheels. Sized at a massive 23 inches, these wheels are finished in Glossy Black and are designed using advanced weight-saving techniques.
Forged wheels offer a critical advantage over traditional cast wheels: they are lighter and stronger. By reducing unsprung mass, the ABT IRL wheels improve steering response and suspension agility. The wheel and tire setup is staggered to provide maximum grip:
-
Front: 285/35 ZR23 tires.
-
Rear: 325/30 ZR23 tires.
This setup ensures that the nearly 1,000 HP can be effectively translated to the asphalt, providing the traction necessary for violent launches and high-speed stability.
Performance: The Road to 1,000 HP
The heart of the ABT transformation lies in the ABT Power S performance upgrade. In its standard factory form, the Lamborghini Urus SE produces a combined system output of 800 PS (789 HP) and 950 Nm of torque.
The 910 HP System Upgrade
The primary ABT Power S kit utilizes the ABT Engine Control (AEC) unit to optimize the parameters of the 4.0L V8 twin-turbo. By precisely adjusting fuel injection, ignition timing, and boost pressure, ABT raises the system output to approximately 910 PS. Crucially, the complex hybrid electrical system remains untouched in terms of its hardware, ensuring that the integration between the electric motor and the combustion engine remains as smooth as the original factory calibration.
The Individual 1,000 HP Configuration
For the most demanding clientele, ABT offers an individual maximum configuration. By further refining the thermal management and intake systems, ABT can push the system power to the 1,000 HP mark. This level of performance puts the Urus SE in the same league as dedicated hypercars, allowing this luxury SUV to achieve acceleration figures that were unthinkable for a vehicle of this weight just a few years ago.
The Hybrid Strategy: Tuning the Future
Tuning a Plug-in Hybrid requires a different philosophy than traditional internal combustion engines. ABT Sportsline has spent years developing its AEC software to communicate perfectly with the sophisticated control units of modern VAG hybrids.
The challenge with the Urus SE is the “torque fill” provided by the electric motor. The motor delivers immediate torque from a standstill, while the V8 provides the top-end power. ABT’s tuning focuses on enhancing the V8’s curve so that the transition between the two power sources is even more aggressive, resulting in a more linear and relentless pull toward the redline. This ensures that the hybrid nature of the vehicle is used as a performance advantage rather than just an efficiency tool.
Pricing and Exclusivity
Exclusivity of this level comes with a corresponding price tag. ABT Sportsline has structured the pricing for the Urus SE program to reflect the high cost of carbon fiber production and the rigorous testing required for TÜV certification.
-
The Base Package: Including the aerodynamic kit, the stainless steel exhaust system, and the 23-inch forged wheels with high-performance tires, starts at €50,000 (including VAT).
-
The Rear Wing: The optional carbon fiber wing adds another €5,000.
-
The Power S Performance Kit: The upgrade to 910 HP is priced at €10,000.
It is important to note that the performance upgrade is only available in combination with the aerodynamic package and the rear wing. This ensures that the vehicle has the necessary stability and cooling to handle the increased power safely. Installation and TÜV registration are billed separately, as per ABT’s standard protocol.
Conclusion: A New Character for the Bull
With the refined Urus SE, ABT Sportsline has once again demonstrated why they remain the gold standard in the Volkswagen Group tuning ecosystem. While the Lamborghini remains clearly recognizable, the ABT modifications instill a completely new character into the vehicle. It sits in the narrow space between a luxury daily driver and a kompromisslose (uncompromising) supersport SUV.
For owners of the Urus SE, the ABT package is more than just a set of parts; it is a statement of intent. It proves that even in an era of electrification and hybridization, the passion for extreme performance and bold design remains as strong as ever.
