As the most powerful SUV on the market, the new Urus SE is the next chapter of our success story, which also marks another significant step in our electrification plan ‘Direzione Cor Tauri’.” World premiere of the Lamborghini Urus SE The Lamborghini Urus SE adopts a re-engineered twin-turbo 4.0 V8 engine, delivering 620 CV of power and 800 Nm of torque. In optimal synergy with the electric powertrain, the system generates a total power output of 800 CV and a total torque of 950 Nm. The new centrally-located longitudinal electric torque vectoring system is also installed for the first time in the Urus SE, complementing the transfer case and the new electronic limited-slip differential to give the vehicle “on demand” oversteering to deliver Lamborghini’s iconic super sports car driving experience. Thanks to the “two hearts” combining thermal and electric power, the Urus SE boasts best-in-segment torque and power values with an 80% reduction in emissions. Combining Urus driving modes and four new Electric Performance Strategies (EPS), it offers a total of eleven options, and is capable of traveling more than 60km in EV Drive mode. The Urus SE redefines the stylistic canons of a super SUV. New design features include headlight clusters with matrix LED technology, as well as bumper and front grill. The hood adopts a floating design, in line with the design concept of the Revuelto, and the cargo compartment hatch features a Gallardo-inspired design style with the taillight clusters connected with the “Y” lights and the new rear diffuser, harmonizing the rear silhouette. The Urus SE pays homage to classic design while demonstrating enhanced sportiness as a super SUV with innovative concepts. The interior design follows the “Feel Like a Pilot” concept, featuring a 12.3-inch central touchscreen with the new Human Machine Interface (HMI), allowing enhanced interaction between the driver and the digital system.
In conjunction with the front angle approach of 20 degrees and the rear angle approach of 26 degrees, the electric SUV is well prepared to tackle light off-road terrain. The vehicle has a ramp angle of 19 degrees. The control strategy for the air suspension has also been revised to meet typical off-road driving requirements. The wading depth is 300 mm. Distinctive exterior accentuates sporty off-road look The Q8 e-tron edition Dakar is available in Siam Beige metallic, Mythos Black metallic, and Magnetic Gray. The Singleframe always comes in body color. The Singleframe's projection light, along with its light strip, creates a consistent connection between the headlights. The Bottom Line is finished in Mythos Black metallic, adding stability. Wider wheel arch trims at the front and rear give the Q8 e-tron edition Dakar a confident road presence. Opening the driver's door projects "edition Dakar" onto the street with LED lights. The exclusive key cover reflects the edition Dakar's class. Optionally, a convenience key with anti-theft alarm opens doors and the luggage compartment via wireless communication. Sensors on the door handles allow the key to lock the vehicle.
According to Bentley’s idea, this light metal could be used to produce pistons instead of heavy cast iron, which was usual at the time. The idea became a reality – the Bentley piston was born. It was initially installed in World War I aircraft, and straight after the end of the war, in Bentley’s first vehicle, the Experimental Bentley No. 1. At the presentation in 1919, its creator said: “I wanted to build a fast car, a good car, the best in its class.” In the 1920s, Bentley’s 85-horsepower three-liter engines from the brand’s first factory in Cricklewood reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour, around 129 km/h. They broke various speed and endurance records and became regular protagonists in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, and 1930, the Bentley Boys won the trophy – and in 1929, they took all four first places. Rescued by the competition and a new start But then the global economic crisis and the harbingers of the next war soon almost drove the company into ruin. Rival Rolls-Royce took over Bentley in 1931 and moved production from Cricklewood to Derby. The factory in Crewe, Bentley’s main site to this day, was built in 1938. Before the war, it manufactured aircraft engines, but in 1946, the first car left the assembly hangar: the Mark V1. The R-Type Continental debuted in 1952, making it the world’s fastest four-seater at the time, with a top speed of 120 miles per hour (approx. 193 km/h). The year 1957 witnessed the arrival of the four-door Continental Flying Spur, and 1959 saw the launch of the S2 with its groundbreaking 6.2-liter V8 aluminum engine. 100 years young and focused on the future The partnership with Rolls-Royce lasted almost seven decades before the Volkswagen Group took over Bentley in 1998 and invested more than £1 billion in the Crewe production facilities. In 2020, shortly after Bentley’s 100th birthday, the Beyond100 strategy was unveiled.

" Since 2013, an environmental guideline has marked the company's path to greater sustainability. In it, Ducati defines goals for the protection and preservation of the environment. In 2014, Ducati's environmental management system was certified in accordance with the international standard ISO 14001:2004. In 2022, Ducati adopted a new environmental and sustainability strategy that encompasses the company's environmental principles. In the recent past, Ducati has initiated numerous activities to minimize the impact of production on the environment. In 2016, the company installed a combined heat and power plant that supplies electricity, heat and cooling energy and significantly reduces CO2 emissions. The additional electricity required comes from renewable energy sources. Since the combined heat and power plant was commissioned, 10,700 tonnes of CO2 have been saved (as of December 31, 2023). In 2023 alone, Ducati saved 1,305 tonnes of CO2; the same amount would be generated by 2,571 flights from New York to Rome per person. In addition, the plant in Bologna uses fewer volatile organic compounds. Another important aspect is the reduction of waste: Ducati recycles 98 percent of the waste it produces (as of December 31, 2023). To support its sustainability strategy, the company also established a biomonitoring project of bees in 2016. Together with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Teramo, Ducati is using around 500,000 bees as bioindicators as part of an environmental monitoring program. With this project, Ducati is analyzing sources of pollution in the vicinity of the five beehives. As part of the project, specialists identified 278 potential pollutants, including heavy metals, furans, dioxins, and pesticides. Since 2020, Ducati has been participating in the “SU-EATABLE Life” project funded by the European Union to promote sustainable nutrition in the company canteen.
