3. Groundbreaking Performance & Dynamics

The Urus Performante replaces standard air suspension with lowered, stiffer steel coil springs and adaptive dampers, reducing overall ride height by 20 mm and widening track width by 16 mm. Combined with a recalibrated rear-wheel steering system and Torsen torque-vectoring differential, power is routed to the outer rear wheel instantly to rotate the vehicle through high-speed turns. A dedicated RALLY Mode relaxes stability controls and stiffens anti-roll bars, permitting controlled oversteer on gravel or loose surfaces.
