Just found out I can’t have the carbon bonnet due to supply issues

Any chance you can delay until it’s available?

First UK drive review btw…

That’s true, looks like you can omit half the options list…
I don’t really understand why they spec all these options if they can’t deliver them, however they do look good on the launch cars.
A sprat to etc, etc…..

If you said i'll wait until it is available would you drop to next on list, back of list or off the list and like you say what if more drop off options.....

Carbon bonnet got axed from my order and my dealer told me I can wait to see if it comes back but I risk having my allocation moved to the hybrid because the production window for the S and Performante is short. Also the red interior door handles got removed.

I'm really disappointed because the carbon bonnet looks incredible and makes the Performante unique.

Yep exactly my situation. I have gone forward without the carbon bonnet so I still keep my slot which is probably Q3 now…..

The factory is really struggling at the moment, my S was actually manufactured in December, and has been sitting in the ‘finishing line’ for the last month. Presumably waiting for unavailable parts to be fitted.

My dealer asked me to go for a simple spec, so I’d get it early, but even so I’m unlikely to see it for a few weeks.

isn't the carbon bonnet what gives the majority of the weight savings?

Bonnet is still carbon just not partially exposed

I think the major weight saving is the different suspension..
Even the S has a carbon bonnet afaik.

I think mine will come through at the end of the year, which is good as then the carbon bits should be with it. I have gone for a Grigio Hati.

I saw a launch model in black, didn't really do much for me on this one and I really do love fully blacked out cars. This Performante needs to be a stand out colour.

the suspension will help, but I would think most of the weight saving was found on the marketing department's scales.

Carbon bits like the exposed hood, roof might be removed. The lucky few who got in early will get the full exterior carbon.

Just to note, my friend just had his Urus S delivered, it comes with a carbon bonnet as standard, just not exposed carbon.
Not my thing, but it is a very impressive family car, still with fairly firm suspension.
I wouldn't be surprised if the performante version is too stiff to be honest.

No carbon bonnet till September afaik, my S has still not been delivered yet, despite being assembled in December.
Should arrive next week lol.
Lambo have concentrated on delivering Perfs first S’s are now coming through, but they’re still suffering from acute part shortages.

it's possibly a good thing not to get a first car anyway, it seems the first delivered Performante is actually slower than the standard car at least in this test:

Torque is exactly the same, can’t see it being more than a fag paper faster than the original model imo…
