NOVITEC Urus SE Esteso: The Wildest Hybrid Super SUV Ever Built
A 14-Part Wind-Tunnel-Developed Widebody That Adds 160mm of Pure Aggression, 23-Inch Vossen-Developed Forged Wheels, an Optional Gold-Plated Inconel Exhaust, 25mm Lower Stance and a Bespoke Interior Programme Without Limit — Applied to Lamborghini's 800-Horsepower Plug-In Hybrid Super SUV to Create the Most Extreme and Most Visually Commanding Vehicle of Its Kind on Earth
There is a particular category of automotive creation that exists beyond the reach of conventional classification — a vehicle whose specification, visual presence and engineering ambition are so comprehensively extreme that comparing it to the production car on which it is based feels almost impolite, like describing a concert grand piano as a louder version of a standard upright. The NOVITEC Urus SE Esteso belongs to this category without reservation, qualification or any acknowledgement that restraint was ever a consideration during its development. Unveiled in November 2025 and immediately recognised as one of the most visually dramatic and most comprehensively realised tuning programmes applied to any production SUV in the modern era, the Esteso Widebody SE represents the German specialist’s definitive interpretation of what Lamborghini’s most commercially important model — the Urus SE plug-in hybrid super SUV — can become when the factory specification is treated not as a finished product but as an exceptionally talented foundation whose potential has been only partially explored. This is the full story of how NOVITEC transformed an 800-horsepower hybrid into something that makes the standard car look, in comparison, like a modest daily driver.

The Foundation: Why the Urus SE Deserved This Treatment
The Lamborghini Urus SE, introduced in April 2024, represents Lamborghini’s first significant step into hybridised performance in its SUV lineage — pairing the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 with a plug-in hybrid system to produce a combined system output of 800 horsepower and 701 pound-feet of torque. The plug-in hybrid architecture adds a battery-powered electric motor that provides instantaneous torque augmentation at low engine speeds, filling the combustion engine’s power curve from the first moment of throttle application and enabling an all-electric driving range of approximately 37 kilometres for urban or low-speed zero-emission operation. The factory Urus SE accelerates from rest to 100 kilometres per hour in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 314 kilometres per hour — figures that place it among the most performance-capable production SUVs available at any price and that establish the extraordinary engineering quality of the car that NOVITEC’s programme begins with.
This is precisely why the Esteso treatment is both commercially compelling and aesthetically coherent. NOVITEC does not apply its most comprehensive widebody programmes to vehicles whose fundamental engineering is ordinary or whose performance credentials require amplification to justify attention. The Urus SE’s 800 horsepower, its hybrid sophistication and its Lamborghini provenance create a vehicle whose underlying authority is beyond question — and NOVITEC’s Esteso programme takes that authority and translates it into a visual language and a physical presence whose intensity is commensurate with what the engineering beneath it can deliver. The result is a car that does not merely look more extreme than the standard Urus SE but that makes the standard car’s appearance, in retrospect, feel like the beginning of a conversation whose conclusion NOVITEC has now provided.
The Esteso Widebody: 160 Millimetres of Purpose-Built Aggression
The centrepiece of the NOVITEC Urus SE Esteso programme is the fourteen-component widebody conversion that expands the SUV’s footprint by 100 millimetres at the front axle and 120 millimetres at the rear — a total width increase of 160 millimetres that transforms the Urus SE’s already-substantial road presence into something that commands attention from every angle and at every distance. These are not the modest flared arches of a cosmetically motivated widebody exercise. They are purpose-developed aerodynamic components whose geometry was validated in wind-tunnel testing, whose fitment to the Urus SE’s body surfaces was engineered to the tolerances of original equipment manufacture and whose visual integration with the surrounding bodywork creates the impression not of additions applied to a finished surface but of a body that was designed in this form from the outset.
The ESTESO fender flares are manufactured from PU-RIM — polyurethane reaction injection moulding — a material whose flexibility allows perfect conformance to the compound curves of the Urus SE’s body surfaces, whose surface quality accepts any factory paint application with the same consistency as the original panels and whose dimensional precision enables installation at NOVITEC’s Stetten am kalten Markt facility and at every NOVITEC partner location worldwide without the individual fitting adjustments that lower-quality aftermarket bodywork requires. For buyers whose aesthetic vision extends to exposed carbon fibre rather than body-colour bodywork, the fender flares, side mirror caps, front fascia trim panels and hood inserts are all available in naked carbon — either conventional woven carbon with its familiar directional pattern or NOVITEC’s distinctive forged carbon structure, which produces an irregular, marble-like visual pattern of considerably greater rarity and considerably more visual complexity than standard carbon weave.
The fourteen-component body conversion encompasses front and rear wheel arch extensions, side sill extensions that create an aerodynamically optimised transition between the widened arches and give the Urus a lower and more stretched visual stance, a front spoiler that reduces front-axle lift at speed while providing visual continuity with the expanded bodywork, carbon rear diffuser, carbon roof wing and rear lip spoiler. These aerodynamic elements at the rear were not designed independently of the front components but as a balanced system whose combined effect on the SUV’s aerodynamic balance — at the elevated speeds the Urus SE’s 314 km/h top speed makes entirely relevant — was considered and validated as a unified programme rather than a collection of independently styled parts. The result of this systematic approach is a car that looks absolutely correct in its proportions — a vehicle of greater drama and greater visual authority than the standard Urus SE but one whose design coherence is never compromised by the visual weight of its additional components.
The Gold-Plated Inconel Exhaust: The Most Extravagant Detail in the Programme
Among all the extraordinary elements of the NOVITEC Urus SE Esteso programme, the optional exhaust system stands apart as the single component of most individual ambition — one of the most extravagant factory-available exhaust specifications that NOVITEC has ever offered on any vehicle in its extensive programme history. The system is constructed from Inconel — the same nickel-chromium superalloy used in the exhaust systems of Formula 1 racing cars, whose exceptional thermal resistance at the extreme temperatures sustained during hard driving maintains the material’s structural integrity and acoustic properties across conditions that would fatigue conventional stainless steel. This material choice alone places the Esteso exhaust in an engineering category of genuine distinction. The optional 999 fine gold plating applied over the Inconel substrate elevates its specification further — providing both a thermal management benefit through gold’s extraordinary reflective efficiency, which reduces heat transfer from the exhaust system to surrounding underbody components, and a visual effect of such extraordinary rarity that the combination of gold-plated Inconel beneath the Esteso’s carbon rear diffuser creates one of the most visually spectacular underbody presentations available on any road-registered vehicle.
The exhaust system incorporates butterfly valves operated from the cabin, allowing the driver to select between a more restrained acoustic profile for urban environments and the full acoustic signature of the modified V8 for open-road driving — a level of driver control over the car’s sound character that reflects NOVITEC’s understanding that the Urus SE’s buyers live in environments where discretion and drama are both requirements, simply at different times and in different places.
23-Inch Forged Wheels and the CAN-Tronic Stance Module
The widebody conversion’s visual effect is maximised by the custom wheel and tyre package developed in collaboration with Vossen — the American specialist in high-performance forged alloy wheel design whose partnership with NOVITEC on successive projects has produced some of the most technically accomplished and most visually compelling wheel designs available for any premium performance vehicle. The Urus SE Esteso’s NL-series wheels are produced in 10.5Jx23 front and 12Jx23 rear dimensions — forged from aluminium using state-of-the-art forging and CNC machining technology that achieves the optimal balance of minimum weight and maximum structural integrity. The five Y-shaped spokes extending fully to the rim edge create a design of maximum visual lightness whose structural depth provides the rigidity required by the performance demands the Urus SE’s 800-horsepower powertrain and high-speed capability impose on the wheel assembly. Hub caps in centre-lock design complete the racing-inspired aesthetic, available through Vossen’s comprehensive painting facility in a virtually unlimited range of colours and finishes.
High-performance tyres in 285/35 R23 at the front and 325/30 R23 at the rear make full use of the space created by the widebody’s expanded wheel arches — tyre dimensions whose contact patch breadth provides a traction base proportionate to the vehicle’s power output and whose performance rubber specification ensures that the Urus SE Esteso’s dynamic capabilities are never limited by the rubber connecting it to the road surface. The NOVITEC CAN-Tronic suspension module lowers the Urus SE by 25 millimetres — reducing ride height to create the more aggressive and more purposeful visual stance that the widebody conversion’s proportions demand, and providing a small but measurable dynamic benefit through the reduction of centre of gravity height that the lower stance enables. The combination of wider track, lower stance and larger-diameter wheels creates a road presence whose visual impact is immediate, commanding and entirely consistent with the engineering ambitions of the vehicle it represents.
An Interior Without Compromise
The NOVITEC Urus SE Esteso’s interior programme is as comprehensively realised as its exterior — a virtually unlimited personalisation service whose depth of material, colour and finish options allows every buyer to create a cabin environment that expresses their individual aesthetic vision with the same completeness that the exterior programme achieves in its domain. The launch example’s black leather interior with yellow inserts — reversing the colour relationship of the Viper Yellow exterior’s black carbon accents — demonstrates the thematic intelligence that the programme’s colour coordination enables, creating an interior that feels deliberately connected to the exterior rather than independently specified. Yellow contrast stitching, yellow seatbelt webbing, yellow door card accents and yellow lower dashboard trim create a consistent colour identity that celebrates rather than contradicts the exterior’s drama, while the black leather’s premium quality and the carbon fibre trim elements within the cabin maintain the material standards appropriate to a vehicle of this specification and price.
NOVITEC’s interior personalisation encompasses an extensive range of leathers and Alcantara in countless colours, custom stitching patterns, embroidered headrests, carbon fibre door cards, bespoke floor mats and any additional personalisation requirement that a buyer’s specification brief contains. The Urus SE’s factory technology content — its 12.3-inch central infotainment display, its 8.4-inch co-driver screen, its digital instrument cluster and its comprehensive Lamborghini Infotainment System with navigation and connectivity — is retained entirely unchanged, ensuring that the Esteso’s interior enhancements add visual and material richness without disrupting the technological capability that the production Urus SE’s cabin provides.
The Most Extreme Hybrid Super SUV Available
The NOVITEC Urus SE Esteso programme’s pricing begins from just under €24,000 for the PU-RIM widebody kit in body colour — a starting investment whose accessibility relative to the overall programme’s content reflects NOVITEC’s understanding that the Esteso’s most compelling specification includes the carbon options, the exhaust system, the Vossen wheels and the suspension module that transform the body kit alone into the comprehensive and coherent hyper-SUV statement the programme was designed to achieve. Carbon fibre component pricing, the Inconel exhaust specification and the custom wheel combination are quoted individually on request, reflecting the bespoke nature of each buyer’s specific configuration and the degree of personalisation that makes every Esteso Widebody SE effectively unique in its complete specification.
