Brabus Takes on the Lamborghini Urus SE: 900 Superblack and 900 Mint Revealed

Long known primarily for its Mercedes-Benz builds, Brabus has decided to broaden its horizons.

Brabus Takes on the Lamborghini Urus SE: 900 Superblack and 900 Mint Revealed

Brabus, a company long associated first and foremost with high-end Mercedes-Benz tuning, is expanding its scope and has unveiled its first-ever projects based on a Lamborghini. The donor vehicle is the 2026 Lamborghini Urus SE, an updated crossover featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The German tuner prepared two versions at once—mechanically near-identical twins, but with very different visual personalities.

Both new models come with self-explanatory names. The Superblack is finished in an all-out dark theme, while the Mint stands out with a bright pastel green shade. On the Mint, this color concept is carried through almost everywhere, from the body to interior details. The Superblack, by contrast, leans toward a more “technical” look with a focus on materials and textures.

The exterior upgrades aren’t overly aggressive, but Brabus’s signature design language is instantly recognizable. The crossovers feature revised aerodynamics and a noticeably wider stance, including:

  • a new front splitter and redesigned air intakes;
  • widened fenders;
  • a larger rear spoiler;
  • a rear diffuser and quad exhaust outlets.

The difference between the two versions lies in execution: on the Superblack, these elements are finished in exposed carbon fiber, while the Mint maintains a monochrome look with components painted in body color.

Both versions ride on 24-inch forged Monoblock Z Platinum Edition wheels with a ten-spoke design. Suspension tuning is handled by the Brabus SportXtra module, which lowers ride height by about 0.8 inches, improving stability and on-road behavior.

The interior has been completely reworked in classic Brabus atelier fashion, featuring quilted and perforated leather, Alcantara and microfiber inserts, along with aluminum and carbon-fiber trim. The color schemes mirror the exteriors:

  • a dark theme for the Superblack;
  • a mint-green theme for the Mint.

The key technical upgrade is the Brabus PowerXtra LG40-900 package for the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, while the electric motor remains unchanged. As a result, total system output increases from 789 horsepower and 701 lb-ft of torque to 888 horsepower and 774 lb-ft.

Performance figures are as follows:

  • 0–60 mph: about 3.0 seconds (roughly two-tenths quicker than the stock Urus SE);
  • top speed: 194 mph, matching the base model.

Even so, Brabus still trails the Mansory Venatus on raw numbers, as Mansory claims a 0–60 mph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of around 201 mph.

As usual, Brabus upgrades don’t come cheap—and in the case of a Lamborghini, the premium is especially noticeable.

  • Brabus 900 Superblack: starting at about $645,600;
  • Brabus 900 Mint: around $691,900.

Both prices are significantly higher than that of a standard Urus SE, though they are still said to undercut the asking prices for the Urus Venatus.

For those who want to see the builds in motion, Brabus has released official videos, including footage of the cars’ public appearance at the FAT Ice event in Zell am See, Austria.
