Milltek Sport has once again flexed its engineering muscle, this time turning its attention to one of the most sophisticated Super SUVs on the planet: the Lamborghini Urus SE plug-in hybrid. The result is a purpose-built sports exhaust system designed to elevate the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8’s character, delivering an auditory experience that blends factory refinement with uncompromising drama.
The Lamborghini Urus SE is already a tour de force of engineering. Its 4.0-litre V8, paired with a 25.9 kWh electric motor, produces over 800bhp and propels the hybrid SUV from 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds. Milltek’s challenge was clear: retain the seamless operation of the hybrid powertrain and the versatility of the Urus’s multiple driving modes while creating an exhaust note that resonates with the brand’s iconic voice.
Milltek’s solution is a downpipe-back system that integrates flawlessly with the Urus SE’s original valve control. Strada, Sport, Corsa, Sabbia, Terra, or Neve — whichever mode the driver selects — the exhaust responds intelligently, enhancing the V8’s tone without overpowering the refinement expected from a Lamborghini. An active centre section combined with a specially tuned rear silencer ensures the perfect contrast between the car’s quiet and loud modes.
Kev Hall, Milltek’s Technical Operations Manager, explains the philosophy behind the system: “Our aim was to give the Urus SE the voice it deserves — one that matches its performance credentials. We’ve tuned it to accentuate the V8’s character in every drive mode, delivering a more engaging, rewarding experience without compromising comfort or emissions. Essentially, it’s a factory-style sound but dialled up with more drama.”
Durability and precision engineering underpin the Milltek ethos. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel in the company’s advanced R&D facilities, the Urus SE exhaust is designed to endure the extreme demands of one of the world’s fastest SUVs, combining long-lasting quality with performance-driven sound.
The impact of Milltek’s expertise is perhaps best illustrated by Jon Olsson, YouTuber, entrepreneur, and former world champion skier. Olsson’s heavily modified 1,019bhp Urus, featuring a wide-body kit and signature camouflage wrap, benefited from a Milltek system developed for the previous generation of the SUV. The exhaust was instrumental in amplifying the car’s already monstrous power while delivering the visceral soundtrack that only a Lamborghini V8 can provide.
Olsson’s reaction speaks volumes: “My Audi RS6 Milltek system sounded angry, but this Lamborghini sounds… evil! Milltek has done an amazing job, and the noise is everything I hoped for and more.”
For Milltek, the Urus SE project represents more than just sound enhancement. It is about balancing hybrid sophistication with the theatre and excitement Lamborghini drivers expect. Kev Hall sums it up succinctly: “Whether you own the very latest Urus SE hybrid or an earlier model, our goal is the same — to help you enjoy every moment behind the wheel. For the SE, that meant combining hybrid refinement with authentic Lamborghini drama. We think we’ve nailed it.”
Milltek’s range of exhaust solutions spans modern classics, high-performance SUVs, pick-ups, vans, and off-roaders. For more details, including dealer locations and full product specifications, visit www.millteksport.com.
