This black Lamborghini Urus S with a black and red interior is based in Orange County. It is the classic dark Urus S, arriving quiet outside a meeting before the tamburo switches it to Corsa on the drive home. Book it when the black on red look matters more than saving on the daily rate. Same 657 horsepower engine as every Urus S we run.
The S update is real rather than cosmetic. Power rises to 657 horsepower from the base car's 641, the exhaust is louder from the factory, and this one reaches sixty in 3.4 seconds. What you feel from the seat is the middle of the rev range, where the S keeps pulling past the point the earlier engine started to level off. Take it out through Irvine toward John Wayne Airport and in Strada it is a fast, quiet SUV nobody looks at twice. Switch to Sport on Ortega Highway and the eight speed gearbox holds gears longer, the exhaust cracks on upshifts, and the same all wheel drive chassis that felt like a lounge a mile ago starts hiding two and a half tonnes in a corner.
Black paint with a black and red interior is the specification for someone who wants the Urus to read as menacing rather than expensive. There is almost no color on the outside, which pushes every frame onto the shape and the wheels, so shoot it low and close in a lit garage or forecourt near Irvine rather than in flat daylight. The red stitching inside is the only warm note in the car and it earns its own tight interior frame. Of our three Urus S, this is the classic dark one, and it is the S that arrives without a comment.
Three Urus S in our Orange County fleet, and this is the classic dark specification, black outside with red stitching inside and no bright color anywhere. The blue car with its white interior is the daylight pick for content, and the black car with the yellow interior costs less a day and carries a lower mileage rate. This one earns its place on condition and on the classic pairing rather than on a lower price. Book it when the S badge and the black on red look matter more than saving on the daily rate or the mileage.
This is the Urus S, the updated car, which means 657 horsepower and 627 lb-ft from the same 4.0 liter twin turbo V8, a retuned exhaust, and the S front bumper with its matte black skid plate, all standard on this trim. Air suspension carries over from the base Urus, so the ride height and damping still adjust with drive mode. The body is black outside with a black and red interior, one of the S trim's factory interior schemes. All wheel drive, five seats, four doors, and the same tamburo drive selector and paddle-for-drive layout as every current Lamborghini.
