Lamborghini Urus Stage 1 vs Stage 2 ECU Tune — 4.0T V8 Power Comparison
Lamborghini Urus — Stage 1 vs Stage 2 ECU Tune
The Lamborghini Urus is powered by the EA825 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 — the same engine family found in the Audi RS6/RS7, Bentley Continental GT V8, and Porsche Cayenne Turbo. With 650 HP stock (Performante), it's the fastest production SUV in its class. ECU tuning pushes it well beyond 800 HP.
Power Comparison — EA825 4.0T V8
| Specification | Stock (Performante) | Stage 1 | Stage 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak Horsepower | 650 HP | ~750 HP | ~830 HP |
| Peak Torque | 850 Nm | ~950 Nm | ~1050 Nm |
| Hardware Required | — | None — ECU only | Downpipes + intake |
| 0-100 km/h (est.) | 3.3s | ~2.9s | ~2.6s |
Stage 1 — 750 HP, Software Only
The EA825's factory turbos are massively oversized — Lamborghini detunes the engine for emissions and drivetrain longevity. A Stage 1 tune resets boost pressure, ignition timing, and fuelling to extract approximately 100 HP over stock. The Urus's ZF 8-speed and Torsen-based AWD system handle the additional torque without issue, making Stage 1 the most cost-effective performance upgrade available.
Stage 2 — 830 HP with Downpipes
Stage 2 adds catless downpipes and an upgraded intake. The reduced backpressure allows the turbos to sustain higher boost through the RPM range. At ~830 HP and over 1,050 Nm, the Urus becomes one of the fastest accelerating SUVs on the planet — quicker than most supercars from a dig thanks to AWD traction and launch control.
