This black Lamborghini Urus with a red interior is a base Urus based in Orange County. It is the classic black on red Urus specification, built for a group dinner near the harbor rather than a solo errand. It carries the lower of our two mileage rates, the better of our two black base cars for a longer weekend.
Launching a Urus is the party trick and it works every time. All wheel drive, a torque converter automatic, and 641 horsepower mean there is no wheelspin, no hesitation, and no skill required. You hold the brake, apply the throttle, and the car leaves at a rate that makes passengers reconsider what an SUV is for. Sixty arrives in 3.6 seconds, and the noise from the twin turbo V8 is deeper and angrier than anything in this class along Pacific Coast Highway. Once you are moving, the same car will sit at eighty in near silence with the suspension raised and the exhaust closed on the way back through Irvine.
Black over red is the classic Lamborghini pairing, and on the Urus it works because the red cabin gives the frame somewhere to go once the exterior shots are done. The outside is deliberately severe, all angles and vents with no color, which reads well at night near South Coast Plaza and poorly at noon. Plan the shoot for evening or somewhere with directional light. The red interior is the payoff and earns a tight frame of its own. It is the most affordable Urus in our fleet, which makes it the sensible first booking of the model.
Black over red is the Urus specification most people picture, and of our five base cars this is the one that delivers it at the lower mileage rate. The other black car in the group runs an orange cabin and the higher mileage charge. If you want the classic combination and you are covering real distance out of Orange County, this is the better of the two. If the orange is what you actually want, book that one instead and accept the higher rate.
This is a base Lamborghini Urus, which means the 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 makes 641 horsepower and 627 lb-ft rather than the newer S car's 657. All wheel drive and adaptive air suspension come standard, adjusting ride height and damping with drive mode. The exterior is black paint over a red leather interior. Five seats and four doors, a torque converter automatic rather than a dual clutch, and the tamburo drive selector with its red flip cover over the start button, standard across the Urus range.
