The blue Lamborghini Urus SE with the black and white interior is based in Orange County. It is the plug-in hybrid Urus, 789 hp with 5 seats and a trunk, so it is the Lamborghini for the airport pickup at John Wayne, the client dinner at Pelican Hill, the family weekend at Disneyland where a Huracan would leave 3 people on the curb. It is delivered across Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs and the Inland Empire.
The electric motor is the mechanism. The Urus SE leaves a driveway in silence on battery alone, and the first 10 minutes through Newport Center are quieter than any Lamborghini has a right to be. Then the 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 joins in and the 2 of them make 789 hp, all 4 wheels driven, 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds in a car with a real back seat. The 8-speed automatic creeps and shuffles like a normal car. Air suspension lifts for a steep driveway and softens in Strada. Pull the right paddle for Drive, because there is no D. Rear-wheel steering keeps the turning circle tight in a hotel garage. Take it down Newport Coast Drive past Pelican Hill with the valves open in Sport, then back to Strada and silence for the valet.
Blue over a black and white cabin is the pairing. In direct sun the blue reads as a deep gloss and the Y-shaped lights and the full-width rear light bar draw the outline. In open shade the colour goes to a quieter navy and the floating hood line shows its shadow. After dark the lit rear bar and the white seat panels under the cabin lights carry the frame. The shot to take is the low front three-quarter with the new nose and the hood filling the corner. Shoot a white seat panel against the black bolster close. Put it at the Fashion Island valet line, or in the porte-cochere at the Resort at Pelican Hill above Crystal Cove.
This is the only Urus SE we base in Orange County, and the only blue Urus in the county. It is $995 a day, the same rate as our black, white and silver base Urus cars in Orange County, with the newest nose and 789 hp against their 641. The other SE is grey in Los Angeles at $1,495 a day. If you want the Urus people have not seen yet, in a colour that is not black, at the base car price, this is the car.
This is the Urus SE, the plug-in hybrid Urus and the newest shape in the line. The 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 works with an electric motor for 789 hp, all-wheel drive, an 8-speed automatic, air suspension, rear-wheel steering and carbon ceramic brakes. The SE brings the floating hood, the new front end with the Y-shaped lights, the full-width rear light bar and the new dash and center screen as standard, and it runs on battery alone for short trips around town. This car is blue over a black and white 2-tone cabin. 4 doors, 5 seats, a real trunk, and the tamburo drive selector with its red start flap in the middle of the console.
