Automobili Lamborghini unveiled two high-performance models in South Korea, marking their first introduction in the Asia-Pacific region. The new vehicles combine the power of traditional internal combustion engines with lightweight carbon fiber technology and electrification systems to enhance driving performance. Lamborghini aims to accelerate its market penetration in South Korea, leveraging its distinctive design identity.
Lamborghini Korea hosted 'Lamborghini Day Korea 2026' on October 8 at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul in Gwangjin-gu, where they showcased the 'Urus SE Performante' and 'Revuelto SV.'
Both models are high-performance hybrid variants that enhance the capabilities of their predecessors, making their debut in the Asia-Pacific region in South Korea. This is the first time Lamborghini has held a separate brand event in the country.
The Urus SE Performante, introduced with a powerful engine roar, is a high-performance version of the plug-in hybrid SUV Urus SE. The extensive use of carbon fiber in its body reduces weight while achieving an attractive design. The carbon fiber hood emphasizes a sporty impression, while the rear features a wide shoulder line for a robust appearance. Air intakes are strategically placed throughout the bumper, and a large diffuser at the rear optimizes airflow.
As a super SUV, its performance is significantly enhanced. The vehicle combines a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 812 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm. It can reach a top speed of 312 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds.
Following the Urus SE Performante, the Revuelto SV took the stage as the latest model in Lamborghini's high-performance 'Super Veloce' lineage. Its body features sharp lines and dynamic design elements that convey the intense character of a high-performance supercar.
Based on a hybrid system that combines Lamborghini's traditional 12-cylinder engine with an electric motor, the Revuelto SV produces a combined output of 1065 horsepower and a system torque of 1425 Nm. The battery capacity has been increased to 7.3 kWh, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 345 km/h.
The Revuelto SV will be limited to 1,963 units worldwide, commemorating the year Lamborghini was founded in 1963. In addition to the two new models, the event also featured the Temeraio Coupe.
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini, stated, "The reasons for purchasing a Lamborghini primarily revolve around design and performance. Performance encompasses not only metrics like acceleration and top speed but also the emotional driving experience, including the feeling when entering and exiting corners and the vibrations conveyed by the vehicle."
The backdrop for Lamborghini's new model launch is the rapid growth of the South Korean market. This year, South Korea has become the second-largest market in the Asia-Pacific region and the sixth-largest globally based on vehicle deliveries in the first half of the year. Since the establishment of Lamborghini's import business under the Volkswagen Group Korea, cumulative vehicle deliveries in the country have surpassed 3,000 units.
Winkelmann emphasized, "South Korea is a very important market for Lamborghini, and I am confident that growth will continue. We expect to exceed 500 customer deliveries in the South Korean market for the first time this year." He added, "Lamborghini's design must differ from previous generations while still being instantly recognizable as a Lamborghini."
