In the upper echelons of performance vehicles, two names often reign supreme. Lamborghini and Ferrari have shared a (mostly) friendly rivalry for decades. Lamborghini debuted their first super SUV – the Urus – several years ago. Now, Ferrari has joined the super SUV competition with the 2023 Purosangue. As expected, it’s beautiful and powerful – and is built to go head to head with the Urus. With that in mind, let’s take a close look at the 2023 Lamborghini Urus Performante vs the 2023 Ferrari Purosangue!

Ferrari has indeed fired shots directly at the Urus with the Purosangue. The difference in performance is relatively small, in that both are exceedingly fast, handle remarkably well, and are built to handle everything that nature or men can throw at it. Both cars have active suspensions that minimize body roll, and both have supercar stats all around. Where we feel the Ferrari may have an edge is in the luxury of the cabin. That said, you’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a slight edge in luxury, so choose wisely when deciding between the two!
As mentioned, the Urus Performante makes extensive use of carbon fiber in its construction to increase strength and reduce overall weight. Some components that make full or partial use of carbon fiber construction include:
In fact, the Urus Performante makes more use of carbon fiber components than any other vehicle in its category. Combined with the ultra-lightweight titanium exhaust, you can rest assured that the Urus Performante is always at fighting weight.
