THE MANSORY VENATUS SE – BECAUSE OVER THE TOP IS A THING WHEN YOU HAVE F-YOU MONEY.
There are few SUVs on the planet that make people stop mid-scroll, mid-step, or mid-sentence. The Lamborghini Urus is one of them. It’s already the poster child for the “super SUV” movement – a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 monster wrapped in a body that looks like it wants to fight everything else in the car park. But for some people, “standard” Lamborghini isn’t quite outrageous enough. That’s where MANSORY comes in, and this time they’ve dropped something suitably insane – the Venatus SE. This isn’t just a bolt-on kit or a few flashy wheels. Nope, the Venatus SE is a complete conversion that takes the hybridised Lamborghini Urus SE and turns it into something that looks like it rolled straight out of a sci-fi film - the type of machine you’d expect a villain to drive when they’re not busy plotting world domination. To make sure it launches with enough hype, MANSORY gave it its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025. Because of course they did. Where else do you unveil a seven-unit limited edition hyper-SUV other than alongside billion-dollar yachts and champagne-soaked decks?
The first thing that hits you is the bodywork. MANSORY doesn’t do subtle, and the Venatus SE wears carbon fibre like armour plating. The front end has been reworked with a new apron, huge air intakes, and a lightweight exposed-carbon hood complete with extra vents. Even the daytime running lights have been redone, now in a star-shaped pattern that screams “look at me.” From the side, chunky carbon skirts stretch the profile lower and longer, while the rear is all about that double carbon spoiler setup - one perched on the roof, one on the tailgate. Both are pure theatre, but they also serve the purpose of keeping this 2-ton+ beast planted when you’re maxing out its new top speed of 332 km/h. Yes, you read that right - 332. In an SUV. The rear apron is equally menacing, neatly framing the Venatus SE’s party trick: a three-pipe exhaust system integrated into a carbon diffuser. Because two pipes are passé, and four pipes are too predictable.
As if the body wasn’t dramatic enough, MANSORY bolted on 24-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in massive rubber - 295s up front, 355s at the rear. The Launch Edition cars come with “FC.5” rims, a seven-spoke design that not only looks like a turbine but also keeps those monster brakes breathing. They fill the arches so completely you half-expect the Urus to roll off on a square footprint. Under the bonnet, the familiar Lamborghini 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 hasn’t been left alone. That would be against MANSORY law. Engineers have gone to town with a new engine management system and a reworked exhaust with high-flow cats, bumping output from the already bonkers 588 kW / 950 Nm to a jaw-dropping 809 kW / 1,250 Nm. The result is a 0-100 km/h shunt in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 332 km/h. For reference, that’s Bugatti Veyron territory - in a family-sized SUV that still has cup holders and enough boot space for a week’s worth of designer luggage.
Step inside, and you’re in a one-off lounge designed entirely to your taste. Like all MANSORY builds, the Venatus SE interior is a blank canvas. Alcantara, leather, carbon, wild stitching patterns, neon-coloured appliqués - whatever you dream up, they’ll make it happen. The example shown at launch runs a grey Alcantara base with purple highlights, LED lighting woven into the headliner, a relocated start button (because who doesn’t want to fire up 1,100 horses from the ceiling?), custom pedals, logo-stitched belts, and mats that cost more than your average hatchback. It’s loud, it’s excessive, and it’s exactly what buyers expect when they’re dropping obscene amounts of money on a hyper-SUV.
Take a look at the YouTube video that doesn’t show off this latest incarnation of the MANSORY Urus, instead, it’s the previous version that’s also pretty damn bonkers. Which do you prefer, if any?: MANSORY Venatus EVO S P900, based on the Lamborghini Urus | MANSORY
