The Lamborghini Urus launched in 2018 as Lamborghini's first production SUV since the 1990 LM002 — the return of the Sant'Agata brand to the SUV segment on a wholly different technical footing. The Urus rides on the Volkswagen Group MLB-evo platform, shared architecturally with the Audi Q7/Q8, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg. Where those siblings deploy various VAG engine families, the Urus received the 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 co-developed with Audi/Porsche (shared with the Audi RS Q8 and Porsche Cayenne Turbo) tuned to a Lamborghini-specific output of 650 PS / 850 Nm in launch form. The 2022 mid-cycle refresh replaced the original Urus with two distinct variants: the Urus S (replacing the base Urus, retaining road-oriented suspension, uprated to 666 PS / 850 Nm) and the Urus Performante (the track-focused variant, 666 PS but with lowered ride height by 20 mm, stiffer anti-roll bars, widened 22-23" wheels, and aggressive carbon-fibre hood and front fascia). Mansory's Urus catalogue has evolved in parallel: the original Venatus programme (2018+) established the widebody template; the Venatus Evo described here is the facelift-era evolution tier, tuned for the 666 PS Urus S and Performante donors; higher up sits the Venatus Evo S / Evo GT specialist limited-run programmes; alongside them, the Mansory Urus Soft Kit serves Urus owners seeking a bolt-on alternative to the full widebody.
The Venatus Evo revises the original Venatus architecture for compatibility with the Urus S and Performante body-line changes. Key Evo-specific revisions include: a reshaped front fascia accommodating the Performante's carbon-bonnet extraction vents; a widened bonnet-extension panel compatible with Urus Performante's front-bumper hot-air extraction; a revised diffuser geometry tuned to integrate with the Urus S's restyled rear bumper; and expanded wheel-arch clearance for the Performante's 22-23" staggered factory wheels (where the original Venatus was dimensioned for 22" all-round on the 2018 base Urus). The full carbon component schedule: Mansory Venatus Evo front bumper with integrated carbon splitter, brake-cooling ducts, carbon side-canards and bonded LED bezels; vented carbon bonnet with twin heat-extractors and integrated Urus S grille housing; carbon front fenders with widened arch extensions (+30 mm) and side-blade vents; carbon side skirts with flick-up aero strakes; carbon rear-fender arch extensions (+35 mm, bonded); Mansory Venatus Evo rear bumper with quad-exit Mansory exhaust cut-outs and integrated Urus S rear-end geometry; carbon diffuser; carbon roof spoiler; carbon tailgate lip spoiler; carbon mirror housings; carbon window trim; Mansory forged wheels (23"-24" staggered, Performante-compatible); optional Mansory quad-exit stainless-steel valved exhaust; optional carbon interior package and Mansory bespoke leather retrim.
The Venatus Evo is calibrated for both facelift Urus variants and the original pre-facelift Urus. Urus S (2022+): 4.0L biturbo V8 (shared EA825 architecture with Audi RS Q8 / Cayenne Turbo), 666 PS / 850 Nm, ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic, permanent AWD with active central Torsen differential and electronically controlled rear LSD, four-corner air suspension (adaptive, with five-mode ANIMA drive-select: Strada / Sport / Corsa / Sabbia / Terra / Neve), 0-100 km/h in 3.5 s, 305 km/h top speed. Urus Performante (2022+): identical 666 PS V8 but with stiffer anti-roll bars, lowered ride height (-20 mm), mass reduction ~47 kg through carbon-fibre hood and front-fascia, and track-biased chassis tune; 0-100 km/h in 3.3 s, 306 km/h top speed. The original Urus pre-facelift (2018-2021, 650 PS) is supported with appropriate bumper fitment but the Venatus Evo nomenclature technically applies to the facelift donors; pre-facelift Urus donors are ordinarily fitted with the original Venatus programme, though Venatus Evo body components can be adapted on a VIN-by-VIN basis. The Urus is scheduled to transition to a PHEV-only powertrain with the Urus SE mid-2024 — Venatus Evo Urus SE compatibility is supported on a build-specific basis as that donor enters production.
Factory Urus S / Performante wheel sizes run 22"-23" staggered. Mansory Venatus Evo builds typically step to 23" front / 24" rear staggered monoblock or three-piece designs — Y.6, FM.5, FD.16, FS.15 patterns and the limited-edition Air-series forged wheels, finished gloss black, matte anthracite, polished-face with bronze lip, or paint-to-sample. Tyre fitments typically 285/40 R23 / 325/35 R24. All wheels TÜV-documented for Urus permanent-AWD torque loading and factory carbon-ceramic brake clearance.

The Urus has been Mansory's highest-volume programme throughout the Urus production window, with the Venatus Evo inheriting the global distribution footprint. Primary destinations: United Arab Emirates (Urus is the top-selling Lamborghini in Dubai and Abu Dhabi), Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam — the Performante programme has strong KSA uptake), Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, the United States (Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, New York), the United Kingdom (RHD Urus S / Performante fitment), Germany (home-market TÜV), Switzerland, Austria, Monaco, France, Italy (Sant'Agata's home market), Spain, Portugal, Kazakhstan (Almaty, Astana), Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan (Baku), Turkey, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria. Destination guides: Saudi Arabia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Thailand.
Urus-family Mansory programmes include the original Venatus (pre-facelift 2018-2021 Urus donor), the Venatus Evo (this page), the Mansory Urus Soft Kit for owners wanting a bolt-on alternative to the full widebody, the Mansory Urus Performante limited variants, and the forthcoming Venatus Evo PHEV programme for the Urus SE plug-in hybrid. Sister MLB-evo platform programmes: Audi RS Q8 and RS Q8 Facelift, Porsche Cayenne (958 / 958 V2) and Porsche Cayenne Coupé, Bentley Bentayga and Bentayga Speed W12 2020-2024. At the supercar end of the Lamborghini range, customers cross-shop against the Mansory Huracán, Huracán Sterrato, Huracán Torofeo, and the Mansory Revuelto (V12 hybrid flagship successor to Aventador).
Venatus Evo orders begin with the Urus VIN, engine / variant (Urus S / Urus Performante / pre-facelift Urus), confirmation of any factory Ad Personam paint-to-sample and the destination market. Quote-turnaround 24-48 hours with component list, paint-scheme, wheel package, installation-scenario option (Mansory atelier Brand, authorised installer network, or on-site roving Mansory technician for high-value builds), customs dossier, and ETA. Production runs typically 7-12 weeks; installation 2-4 weeks. Order intake: +44 7488 818747 (WhatsApp) or email [email protected].
Will the Venatus Evo fit the 2018 pre-facelift Urus donor? The Venatus Evo nomenclature technically applies to the facelift Urus S / Performante. Pre-facelift Urus donors receive the original Venatus fitment by default; Venatus Evo panels can be ordered as a VIN-specific adaptation with appropriate front-fascia bridging parts, quoted per build.
Does the Venatus Evo preserve the Urus Performante's carbon-fibre factory bonnet and front fascia features? The Venatus Evo replaces both the factory Urus S and Performante bonnets with Mansory's full-pre-preg carbon-fibre vented bonnet. The Performante's specific air-extraction geometry is preserved within the Mansory bonnet design.
Is the factory Lamborghini ANIMA drive-select mode system affected? No — ANIMA (Strada / Sport / Corsa / Sabbia / Terra / Neve) is entirely powertrain-electronics and untouched by the body programme. The Mansory exhaust integrates with ANIMA-mode valve control so stock behaviour is preserved across all six modes.
Will the Venatus Evo preserve the Urus Performante's factory ride-height lowering (-20 mm)? Yes — the Performante-specific air-suspension calibration is untouched. The Venatus Evo is dimensioned to clear the Performante's lowered ride height at all speed-adaptive settings.
Does the Venatus Evo kit cover the Urus SE PHEV when that variant launches? Yes — Mansory is developing Urus SE-compatible Venatus Evo panels with cooling clearances for the PHEV battery and electric-motor assembly. Urus SE orders are accepted for post-launch delivery.
Is the Mansory quad-exit exhaust compatible with Urus Performante's fixed-flow sports exhaust? Yes — the Mansory exhaust replaces the Performante exhaust entirely, and valved-flap control maps to factory ANIMA-mode logic. Acoustic signature remains Lamborghini-characteristic with subtle free-flow gain in Sport and Corsa modes.
Does the Venatus Evo carbon bonnet require active pedestrian-protection system recalibration? The Urus does not employ an active-lift pedestrian-protection bonnet (unlike several European-market saloons); no recalibration is needed.
