Automobili Lamborghini has set the 1,000-meter record with an average speed of 114 km/h with the Urus, for the first time on the ice of Lake Baikal, Russia.

"This extreme challenge has proven that the Urus Super SUV delivers the inherent performance expected of a Lamborghini in terms of acceleration and top speed as well as handling to unlock any road: be it a highway, off-road route or even ice. We are excited to see the Urus’ official results published," commented Lamborghini Eastern Europe and CIS head Konstantin Sychev.


It was piloted by the 18-time ‘Days of Speed Russian’ record-holder Andrey Leontyev, the maximum recorded speed of the Urus was an impressive 298 km/h during the record-breaking sprint despite the significant warming of the ice on the world’s deepest lake. During the practice runs, the Urus had even reached a maximum speed of 302 km/h. 


The Lamborghini Urus demonstrated outstanding performance and exceptional maneuverability on the ice despite the challenges of slippery conditions causing reduced traction, and strong gusts of wind. 


Powering the Lamborghini Urus is a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that delivers 650 hp at 6,000 rpm until maximum 6,800 rpm and 850 Nm of torque at 2,250 rpm. The Urus claimed one of the highest power outputs of 160 hp. It has the best weight-to-power ratio at 3.38kg.


Lamborghini Urus is able to sprint from standstill to 100 km/h in around 3.6 seconds and 200 km/h in 12.8 seconds with the top speed recorded at 305 km/h. It is one of the fastest SUVs available.



The annual Days of Speed festival was held between March 10 to 13, 2021. This official sports event is dedicated to setting record speeds on ice. The event adheres to all regulations of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) and RAF (Russian Automobile Federation).
