Remember when the Tesla Model S Plaid was the go-to choice for any YouTuber who wanted to obliterate almost every high-powered combustion supercar? This guy does.<\/p>\n
But those times are apparently over because there\u2019s a new battery-powered star in town in the shape of the recently launched Tesla Cybertruck. And you can rest assured that Mat Watson from Carwow<\/em> did his homework when he traveled to Texas to witness the electric pickup\u2019s delivery event.<\/p>\n First, in the hands of Mister Watson, the Cybertruck made a fool of the tri-motor Hummer EV\u2013a drag race you can watch here\u2013and now it\u2019s time for a combustion-engined, high-powered, very-expensive SUV to fall at the mercy of Tesla\u2019s newly delivered truck.<\/p>\n Enter the Lamborghini Urus, which\u2013in the video embedded at the top of this page\u2013is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 making 650 horsepower. The Italian SUV\u2019s grunt is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission with a torque converter, enabling a top speed of 190 miles per hour.<\/p>\n Tipping the scales at about 4,850 pounds, the Urus is significantly lighter than the almost 7,000-lbs tri-motor Cybertruck. But that doesn\u2019t seem to be an issue for the zero-emissions pickup, as its three-motor configuration allows for instantaneous torque off the line and an impressive 0-60 mph sprint in just 2.6 seconds. Power is also on the Cybertruck\u2019s side, with a combined 845 hp sent to all four wheels, while the top speed is 130 mph.<\/p>\n Pricing-wise, a top-of-the-line Lamborghini Urus Performante goes for about $250,000, while the most expensive Cybertruck\u2013the Cyberbeast\u2013is just a smidge under $100,000.<\/p>\n So, does it make sense to spend more than double for an SUV that admittedly sounds good but fails to deliver in a straight line compared to the American EV?
