Not Your Usual Urus
One of the ultra-rare Lamborghinis of the modern era, the Urus Performante Essenza SCV12 Edition, is listed for sale on duPont Registry. If the nameplate doesn’t ring a bell, that’s entirely understandable. This special-edition Urus was offered exclusively to the 40 owners of the Essenza SCV12, effectively making any broader marketing effort unnecessary.
Derived from the Aventador platform, the Essenza SCV12 is a track-only hypercar introduced in 2020. It uses the same 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, tuned to produce 830 horsepower. The Italian marque later translated that extreme, motorsport-inspired identity into the Urus Performante Essenza SCV12 Edition, offering its 40 owners a street-legal, Essenza-inspired vehicle. Compared to the $2.5-million track-only hypercar, the SUV provides greater everyday usability for public roads, while still benefiting from a more accommodating cabin thanks to the Urus’ SUV platform.
A Nod to a Masterpiece
This particular example has registered 7,687 miles on the odometer and is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. The engine shares its core architecture with models such as the Audi RS Q8 and the third-generation Porsche Cayenne, though Lamborghini applies its own calibration. Carrying the Performante badge, the powertrain is tuned to deliver 657 horsepower. As standard, the SUV employs an all-wheel-drive system paired with an 8-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission.
The real appeal of this limited-edition variant, however, lies in its visual enhancements. Finished in Nero Helene Metallic, the exterior is fitted with an exposed carbon-fiber widebody kit supplied by 1016 Industries, along with custom black forged 24-inch wheels. Inside, the black-themed cabin pays direct homage to the track-only hypercar, featuring Essenza SCV12 logos on the dashboard and door sills.
Designed for the Inner Circle
While duPont Registry has not publicly listed a price for this Urus Performante Essenza SCV12 Edition, the company notes that the vehicle is one of just seven examples allocated to the U.S. market. Interested buyers are encouraged to visit the luxury automotive marketplace’s website to request additional details.
For reference, Lamborghini currently offers the Urus S with a starting price of around $240,000. The Urus – which competes with rivals such as the Ferrari Purosangue and the Aston Martin DBX – is also available in plug-in hybrid form. That electrified variant adds an electric motor to the mix, boosting total system output to 789 horsepower.
