    Lamborghini Day Germany 2025: The Raging Bull Comes To Münich

    A celebration of performance, design, lifestyle and passion as Automobili Lamborghini brings Sant’Agata Bolognese’s spirit to the heart of Bavaria  

    Sant’Agata Bolognese/Munich, June 24, 2025 – Lamborghini Day Germany captivated guests with an extraordinary celebration embodying the motto “You can’t hide who you are.” Automobili Lamborghini showcased Italian flair, cutting-edge innovation, and a comprehensive brand experience during an important and vibrant day shared with customers and friends. Guests were invited to fully immerse themselves in the world of the Italian luxury super sports car brand. The event took place at the elegant Hoch5 venue in Munich, offering an unparalleled atmosphere above the rooftops of the Bavarian capital. All eyes were on Lamborghini’s most iconic creations: the Revuelto [1] – the first V12 HPEV super sports car, the Super SUV Urus SE[2], and the new “Fuoriclasse” Temerario[3]. Attendees experienced a 360° deep dive into Lamborghini’s universe — from performance and design to heritage — offering a unique glimpse behind the scenes of this legendary brand.

    The clients and friends of the brand saw the high-performance vehicles made in Sant’Agata Bolognese up close on three floors, engaged in several activities offering brand angles and other partners experiences and had personal conversations with top representatives of Automobili Lamborghini. Lamborghini’s Chairman and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, hosted the event together with Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Federico Foschini, Design Director Mitja Borkert and Aftersales Director Alessandro Farmeschi.

    “It is an honour to welcome our clients, partners and friends to the second edition of Lamborghini Day Germany in this extraordinary setting. The event is particularly important for our brand, as it strengthens our relationships with our customers and friends and gives us the opportunity to share our unique corporate philosophy with them,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini. “We are delighted with the great feedback on our products from clients and partners in Germany, as this region is a key market for us.” In 2024, the luxury brand from Sant’Agata Bolognese delivered 1000 vehicles to customers in Germany, which made it for Automobili Lamborghini the largest market in Europe and the second largest worldwide.

    Guests were welcomed by the High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) Revuelto outside the elegant Munich Hoch5 complex and drawn into the world of Lamborghini upon entering the venue, where lemon trees immediately created a vibrant Italian flair. The journey inside began in an unexpected way: at the Lamborghini bar inside the elevator, guests received a welcome drink while being taken upstairs.

    Upon exiting the elevator, their attention was instantly captured by the newest addition to the Lamborghini fleet—the Lamborghini Temerario. This “Fuoriclasse” model was unveiled on the main stage in two configurations: one in Arancio Xanto (orange) with a black interior, and the other in Bianco Monocerus (white) featuring red and black accents. As the latest model in Lamborghini’s HPEV lineup, the Temerario completes the hybridization of the brand’s product range, alongside the Revuelto and the Super SUV Urus SE. Lamborghini is the first super sports car manufacturer to offer a fully electrified model range, delivering exceptional performance through innovative electrification.

    On the same floor, dedicated brand areas offered immersive insights into design (Centro Stile) and personalization (Ad Personam). The Centro Stile—Lamborghini’s design department—celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, marking two decades of iconic cars designed from Sant’Agata Bolognese. Guests were taken on a journey through the brand’s design DNA and the language that defines its most iconic models, as well as an overview of Lamborghini’s future design direction. A workshop with Mitja Borkert, Design Director of Automobili Lamborghini, offered attendees fascinating insights and exclusive sketches, adding a personal and artistic touch to the experience. Meanwhile, the Ad Personam team welcomed guests into a dedicated area showcasing the nearly limitless customization options available to Lamborghini clients. From bespoke colors and materials to exclusive finishes, the experience highlighted the Italian craftsmanship and attention to detail that define the brand. A specially configured Revuelto in Blu Fontus (blue), presented on an elevated pedestal, demonstrated the full expression of personalization possibilities.

    The 6th floor of the Munich Hoch5 – the “Lambo experience” – was transformed into a vibrant expression of Lambo’s future-facing spirit—where innovation, design, gaming, collectibles, and heritage converged to immerse guests in the brand’s multifaceted universe. The Lamborghini Day Germany offered guests an exclusive opportunity to explore the brand from new and immersive perspectives. Activities curated in collaboration with Lamborghini’s high-end partners brought the experience to life in dynamic and engaging ways. Amidst this refined setting, guests found comfort and elegance on the sophisticated furniture by Living Divani while enjoying the perfect atmosphere, elevated by a high-premium immersive in-car sound experience provided by Sonus faber. Inside the new Temerario, the meticulously crafted audio system underscored Lamborghini’s commitment to excellence in every detail. The ambience was further enhanced by the exclusive fragrances of Culti Milano, creating a refined and immersive sensory experience. Guests could enjoy the moment while sipping on special cuvée served by Carbon Champagne, adding an extra touch of elegance to the occasion.

    Invitees also had the opportunity to engage firsthand with the standout pieces from the latest collaboration between Balenciaga and Automobili Lamborghini, a fusion of cutting-edge fashion and automotive innovation. An exclusive activation of the Balenciaga Apple Vision Pro application experience was offered, allowing guests to explore the Balenciaga world through immersive virtual reality technology.

    On the 6th floor of the Munich Hoch5, Lamborghini showcased the brand’s versatility by bridging the gap between classic tradition and digital innovation. The space featured a wide range of entertainment, including dynamic racing simulators developed by Vesaro in collaboration with Centro Stile. Guests were also introduced to Fast ForWorld — Lamborghini’s proprietary platform and ecosystem for Web3 and digital engagement. Within the platform, visitors unlocked first-hand access to a new immersive environment designed by Centro Stile, as well as exclusive digital collectibles based on the Urus SE, part of the platform’s upcoming Digital Vehicle Library.

    Among real-world collectibles, the track-only hypercar Essenza SCV12 was a standout highlight in the Squadra Corse area. Developed by Lamborghini’s motorsport division alongside Centro Stile, the Essenza SCV12 is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine delivering 830 hp. Limited to just 40 units, this model embodies the pure essence of Lamborghini and gave guests a rare up-close look at an elite vehicle.

    The luxury accessories brand Tateossian added a personalized touch with custom-branded bracelets, offering a keepsake of refined craftsmanship. Guests also enjoyed a taste of Italian excellence: Dievole estate – partner of Lamborghini – offered curated tasting of selected wines, like their Chianti Classico Docg, guided by expert sommelier.

    Outside on the 6th-floor terrace, Lamborghini Polo Storico offered a unique insight into the brand’s classic car restoration efforts. Founded in 2015 and celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, Polo Storico demonstrated how it reconstructs each car’s history through meticulous documentation, component analysis, and archival research. A rare LM002 off-roader on display captured the guests’ attention—an unexpected sight high above the streets of Munich at the Hoch5 venue.

    In the After Sales area dedicated to original accessories, Lamborghini presented the 23” Penteo rim in shiny black and the 22” Auriga bronze rim. In addition, the brand exhibited a CFK engine bay cover for the Urus SE and CFK T-covers, one in shiny and one in matt finish, for the Revuelto. Akrapovič also showed the titanium exhaust system developed in collaboration with Lamborghini for the Urus SE.

    The terrace of the “Lambo experience” level also gave guests the opportunity to use a Glambot – a high-speed camera system – which created personal and emotional Hollywood-style videos of this special day. Lamborghini Financial Services was also on site to provide comprehensive advice to help customers fulfil their dream of owning a Lamborghini.

    The 7th floor completed the 360° Lamborghini experience in Munich with a refined blend of surprise, relaxation, and Italian flair. A water sommelier captivated guests with exclusive tastings, offering an entirely new sensory experience. A professional photographer, in collaboration with Leica camera experts, captured lasting memories of this unique day. The Italian atmosphere was further enriched by Lavazza coffee, topped with beautiful coffee art bringing true pleasure to every sip. Lengling Munich invited guests into an olfactory journey with a curated selection of high-quality fragrances.  Meanwhile, a DJ set the mood with ambient beats on the 7th floor terrace, using the SL-1200M7B turntable—specially designed by Technics in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini.

    Lamborghini Days around the world are exclusive events that unite customers, friends, and enthusiasts of the legendary Italian marque—celebrating a shared passion for automotive excellence and luxury lifestyle, all with unmistakable Italian spirit. In 2024, the first Lamborghini Day Germany delighted guests at the Mülheim airship hangar with a premium program that reflected the brand’s diversity and that of its partners.

    FIRST PRODUCT LINE-UP FULLY HYBRIDIZED

    Lamborghini is renowned for Italian passion and has ushered in a new era of performance and design with its fully electrified model lineup. The new Temerario represents automotive excellence made in Italy—from its unique design to its cutting-edge technology. Powered by a newly developed twin-turbo V8 engine and three electric motors, the super sports car delivers a total output of 920 CV. The V8 engine is the first and only one in a production super sports car capable of reaching 10,000 rpm. Temerario also impresses with its raw performance: it reaches a top speed of 343 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.

    With the Temerario, Lamborghini achieves new benchmarks in aerodynamic efficiency, combined with bold stylistic details and lines that represent a significant evolution in the brand’s design language. Furthermore, Temerario and Revuelto are now produced on the same state-of-the-art super sports cars production line—marking the first time Lamborghini manufactures two different models together on a single hybridized line.

    Temerario captivated guests at Lamborghini Day Germany 2025 and signaled a bold new chapter for the Italian marque. “The new Temerario is generating extraordinary interest among customers, and the HPEV production capacity is already fully booked for the next one and a half years,” explains Federico Foschini, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Lamborghini.

    As the first HPEV in the lineup, the Revuelto sets a new standard for performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure. With its naturally aspirated V12 engine supported by three electric motors, it produces an astonishing 1,015 CV. Its unprecedented architecture, innovative design, highly efficient aerodynamics, and all-new carbon chassis create a next-level driving experience—one that embodies the pure Lamborghini DNA.

    Completing the HPEV range, the Urus SE features a re-engineered 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 620 CV and 800 Nm of torque. Working in perfect synergy with its electric powertrain, the system produces a combined output of 800 CV and 950 Nm of torque. The new centrally located longitudinal electric torque vectoring system—introduced for the first time in the Urus SE—works alongside the transfer case and an all-new electronic limited-slip differential to deliver Lamborghini’s unmistakable super sports car driving dynamics. Thanks to these innovations, the Urus SE is the most fun-to-drive Super SUV in the world.

  • Verde Scandal: The Legendary Lamborghini Color Inspired by a Little Green Dress

    Verde Scandal: The Legendary Lamborghini Color Inspired by a Little Green Dress

    [source: Automobili Lamborghini]

    Sant’Agata Bolognese, 11 June 2025 – Without a doubt, one of the characteristics of Automobili Lamborghini most appreciated by its customers is the strong attention to customization. The House of Sant’Agata, thanks to its Ad Personam program, can satisfy even the most particular requests, including the color of the vehicle. Currently, Automobili Lamborghini is able to propose 400 different colors to choose from to make the car one of a kind, as well as the potential to produce special colors matched to a client’s exact requirement.

    Among the wide range of colors designed by Lamborghini, there are certain shades that have a particular background story. This category includes Verde Scandal (verdescandal; non-metallic UNI; 154513; Lamborghini), a color shrouded in a legendary story. To understand the genesis of this adjective combined with the color green, we have to go back to the late ’60s, when Automobili Lamborghini launched one of the most iconic cars in the brand’s history: the Lamborghini Miura.

    We are at the dawn of the company’s success and the beginning of the use of color as part of customizations. But even back then, the company had the foresight to recognize the importance of customizing its cars, aiming to satisfy the array of customer requests. And then as now, all customization was managed entirely in-house at the Sant’Agata Bolognese facility, in a context synonymous with Made in Italy, and therefore, with globally recognized quality and value.

    The story tells that a woman, asking for a color not yet developed by Automobili Lamborghini, indicated that the desired color was that of the dress she was wearing in that moment. The company representative asked her for a sample in order to work on the request, and so it ensued that the women took off her dress and left it as an example for creating that shade. This was the origin of Verde Scandal, in everlasting memory of this singular and “scandalous” episode.

    Verde Scandal has recently come back into the limelight. In fact, it features prominently on the livery of the new Ducati Panigale V4 motorcycle, which was unveiled on April 9 during Milan Design Week. The model draws inspiration from the Revuelto[1], Lamborghini’s first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) hybrid super sports car. This car has the distinction of being the one that started the hybridization process of the range and that defined a new paradigm among super sports cars in terms performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure.

    So the past returns to highlight the initiatives of the present, with an eye toward the future. A perfect mix that shows how at Automobili Lamborghini, tradition and history go hand in hand with innovation and technology.

    [1] Consumption and emission values of Revuelto: Combined fuel consumption: 11,86 l/100km; Combined power consumption: 10,1 kWh/100 Km; Combined CO2 emissions: 276 g/km; Combined CO2 efficiency class: G; Combined fuel consumption with discharged battery: 17,8 l/100km; Combined CO2 emissions and discharged battery efficiency classes: G; [WLTP].

  • Lamborghini Polo Storico Celebrates Ten Year Anniversary

    Lamborghini Polo Storico Celebrates Ten Year Anniversary

    Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy – Automobili Lamborghini celebrates the tenth anniversary of Lamborghini Polo Storico, the department established in 2015 with the aim of preserving and enhancing the brand’s priceless historical heritage and cars. Preserving the company archives and ensuring the proper conservation of Lamborghini’s historic models, Polo Storico is responsible for vehicle restoration and certification, actively contributing to the long-term preservation of these cars. During its ten years of activity, the department has completed various significant projects, growing steadily and becoming an international benchmark for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Polo Storico oversees Lamborghini historic cars from the 350 GT to the latest versions of the Diablo, playing a crucial role as an authoritative source in defining the company’s historical identity. Like the rest of the company, Lamborghini Polo Storico also looks to the future, preserving past icons while preparing to welcome the models that will one day join its ranks. On the tenth anniversary of Polo Storico, Automobili Lamborghini is celebrating the department’s history and its most important projects and has organized a program of events around the world with customers, the media and enthusiasts.

    “For us, Lamborghini Polo Storico represents a cornerstone of the company’s commitment to the world of heritage and tradition,” commented Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “Polo Storico is vital not only to the research carried out and the enrichment of our company archives, with the digitalization of over 30,000 historical documents, but also for its genuine commitment to the restoration and certification of the brand’s historic cars. With more than 40 restorations completed — each of which required thousands of hours of work — and over 200 certifications issued, Polo Storico plays a vital role in the preservation and enhancement of our automotive heritage.”

    Polo Storico, inaugurated on 16 April 2015, started its activities with the centralization and digitalization of the company’s entire historical records, which up to then had been divided between different departments. Among the items cataloged were technical drawings, production sheets, type-approval documents, original materials, historical images, sales and administrative documents, and official company publications, contributing to the creation of a well-structured and authoritative historical archive. At the same time, a special technical unit was set up at the Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters, where a specialist team started working on historic cars in the months immediately prior to the formal launch of the department.

    Polo Storico restorations always maintain a clear objective: to return every car back to its original condition, in full respect of its historical, technical and aesthetic identity. Each project starts with an in-depth search of the archives and thousands of hours of skilled work, coordinated and supervised by the Polo Storico team, also in partnership with leading external suppliers. The restorations that have been made public form just a part of the department’s activities: many collectors choose not to disclose the work carried out on their cars. However, even just the projects shared are evidence of the vital role of Polo Storico. In 2016, the Miura SV #4846, the first project presented to the public by Lamborghini Polo Storico, was completely restored and presented at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, before going on to win Best in Class at Salon Privé. The following year the Miura SV #5030 was exhibited at Techno-Classica Essen, after being restored over a 20-month period, involving 2,000 hours of work and using exclusively original spare parts. Also in 2017, Polo Storico delivered the Miura P400 #3165 to Giampaolo Dallara, which had been restored over a period of 14 months involving 3,000 hours of work, to celebrate his 80th birthday.

    Also among the first full restorations was the 350 GT #0121, one of the very first Lamborghini cars produced. The restoration involved 1,150 hours of work on the body and interior, and a further 780 hours for the mechanical and electrical checks. In 2018, the restoration of the Miura P400 #3264 was completed after ten months of work. The car was then displayed at the Polo Storico stand at Rétromobile in Paris. In the same year, Polo Storico concluded its work on the Miura S #4863, which won Best in Class and the most iconic car at Salon Privé in London. In 2019, a particularly important project was completed, involving the restoration of the Miura SV #3673, finished shortly before its debut at Rétromobile and showcased on the Polo Storico stand. An in-depth historical investigation enabled the complex history of the car to be reconstructed, and this was followed just a few months later by the Best in Class award at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Also in 2019, Polo Storico certified the Miura P400 #3586, officially identifying it as the model used in the original shooting of the film The Italian Job, solving a long-standing mystery using archival materials and eyewitness accounts.

    One of the most recent restorations was of the Miura P400 S #4797, which belonged to the Italian singer Little Tony and one of only seven painted in Azzurro Mexico (light blue), presented at Villa d’Este in 2019. In 2020, at Rétromobile, Polo Storico presented one of few Miura SVJs produced, chassis #4860 built in 1973. A captivating historic car, it was the subject of careful conservation work aimed at preserving the original condition, with the complete overhaul of all the technical and mechanical components, while keeping even the smallest details intact.

    But the project that best represents the department’s capabilities and expertise is the full reconstruction of the 1971 prototype Countach LP 500, destroyed in crash tests over 50 years ago. Completed in 2021 after over 25,000 hours of work, it was recreated from scratch starting only with the archive documents, historical photographs and firsthand accounts: an undertaking that perfectly embodies the spirit and mission of Polo Storico.

    Another cornerstone of Polo Storico’s activities is the Certification of Authenticity service, which certifies the authenticity and conformity (or otherwise) of the historic cars relative to the original factory specifications. Through a rigorous process, an analysis is carried out of the mechanical components, interiors, paintwork, modifications, and work done subsequently to the activities performed by the company, comparing every detail with archival documentation. This procedure can require hundreds of hours of work, and concludes with a detailed technical report. In some cases, during these ten years of activity, Polo Storico has identified some cars that cannot be certified due to technical or historical discrepancies. Under these circumstances, the customer will receive a full report with a list of the nonconformities found, with no additional charge except for the logistics costs. This is a particular service by Lamborghini that confirms the primary objective of Polo Storico: to preserve Lamborghini’s historic cars and guarantee that every certification stands as a mark of authenticity, transparency, and accountability.

    To support the processes of archive enrichment, certification and restoration, a committee was established comprising a group of former employees who played an operational role in the company’s history, known as the “Comitato dei Saggi” (Committee of the Wise). With firsthand experience in Lamborghini’s past operations, these former employees provide support to Polo Storico in verifying information; solving and clarifying technical challenges; and reconstructing data that is not always available in the official archives.

    At the end of each process, Polo Storico forms another internal committee to approve the work. As well as its own team, this committee includes representatives from strategic departments such as the legal department, type-approval, research and development, aftersales, and the chairman’s office, responsible for signing off all certifications and restorations. This multidisciplinary team guarantees that every action is validated with the utmost accuracy and consistency.

    Polo Storico’s activities, which are continuously expanding, sometimes involve the collaboration of key suppliers for highly specialized work. These suppliers are also selected in line with the department’s values, involving local businesses that are often historical partners of the company already operating at the time of the original production of the cars. In parallel, Lamborghini has invested in the expansion of its in-house skills: today, Polo Storico has access to advanced technologies and a team able to directly manage an increasing number of processes. Lamborghini’s Original Spare Parts department also plays a key role, constantly enriching its portfolio with parts that are no longer available by manufacturing new to the original specification, developed based on needs emerging from the restorations and work on historic cars.

    Polo Storico’s activities also focus on enhancing the brand’s technical and cultural heritage. Alongside the restoration and certification work, the department is often the main player – and sometimes the direct organizer – of international events celebrating the history of Automobili Lamborghini. Some of the most significant events organized by Polo Storico itself include: the 2016 tour from Madrid to Lora del Rio in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Miura; the Lamborghini Marzal’s return to road on the occasion of the 2018 Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, with His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco at the wheel; the tour celebrating 50 years of the Espada and Islero (September 2018); the Espada Series 3 photographed on the iconic Abbey Road crosswalk and hosted at the Royal Automobile Club in London (October 2018); the 2019 “Lamborghini & Design” Concorso d’Eleganza organized in Portopiccolo, Trieste; and, more recently, the Lamborghini 60th anniversary tour in 2023 on the roads of Franciacorta, Alto Garda and Valpolicella.

    To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Polo Storico has planned a calendar of international events taking place throughout 2025. The celebrations started in February in St. Moritz and will continue from 24 to 27 April with participation in the first edition of the Anantara Concorso d’Eleganza, organized in the heart of Rome and dedicated to Italian classic cars. In the summer, from August 16 to 18, Polo Storico will play a leading role at Pebble Beach in California, with an exclusive area inside Villa Lamborghini. During the year, Polo Storico will also attend official brand events, such as the Lamborghini Days in Germany and Japan, and will take part in a number of international classic car events, meeting with customers, collectors, and enthusiasts. The final event is planned for October, with participation in the Auto e Moto d’Epoca show in Bologna from 23 to 26 October, celebrating the history of Lamborghini and the department’s activities together with customers and enthusiasts from all over Europe.

    “We want to celebrate this important anniversary together with our customers and collectors, highlighting the value of the work carried out by Polo Storico and the central role it plays today in preserving our heritage,” explained Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “Its contribution is set to grow even further: every Lamborghini falls within the remit of Polo Storico twenty years after the end of production. With the increase in production volumes and the high degree of customization of our cars, the amount of work required will become increasingly broader and more strategic. Polo Storico will play an ever more crucial role in preserving the authenticity, quality and memories of our brand.”

  • Ducati and Lamborghini Together Again with New Chapter

    Ducati and Lamborghini Together Again with New Chapter

    The Panigale V4 Lamborghini was presented during the Milan Design Week

    Milan/Borgo Panigale/Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, 9 April 2025 – The new Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini, the motorbike born from the collaboration between the Italian motorcycle and super sports car manufacturers, has been unveiled to the public. The presentation event – The Art of Unexpected – took place in Teatro Alcione, Milan, during Milan Design Week, the leading event in the design world, where the two automotive companies excel.

    The Ducati – Lamborghini collaboration

    This opens the third chapter in the partnership between Ducati and Lamborghini, two symbolic companies of Italy as a whole, which share the same values of sophisticated technology, sportiness and exclusivity. Two iconic brands which represent Italian excellence on a world level, both rooted in the heart of the Emilia region’s Motor Valley, where passion, ingenuity and expertise come together, giving rise to works of art on two and four wheels such as the new Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini: the result of a combination that will once again become every enthusiast’s dream at first sight, bringing together technology, performance and beauty as previously happened with the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini and the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini.

    This new episode of the union between the two companies stars the most high-performance and sophisticated models in the ranges of the two brands: the Panigale V4 S, the latest generation Ducati Superbike; and the Lamborghini Revuelto[1], the new paradigm in the super sports car arena. Both models represent the ultimate expression of sporting performance of the two brands and are equipped with the most refined and high-performance engines, that fully represent their technical philosophy and design approach: the Ducati Desmosedici Stradale and the Lamborghini V12.

    “When two unmistakable design languages meet, such as those of Lamborghini and Ducati, the result is the perfect expression of values such as our Italian spirit and beauty that set us apart,” declared Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO Automobili Lamborghini. “With this partnership, Ducati has managed to masterfully interpret and translate the extreme sporting spirit and exclusivity of the Revuelto, including details and identifying elements of our stylistic DNA on the bike, creating a unique object that combines performance, excitement and character in pure Lamborghini style.”

    The inspiration behind the Panigale V4 is the Revuelto, Automobili Lamborghini’s first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) hybrid super sports car, the new benchmark in terms of performance, on-board technology and driving thrills. The absolute driving pleasure experienced behind the wheel is provided in no small part by the total 1015 hp generated by the powertrain, which combines the power of a new V12 internal combustion engine with three high-density electric motors and an innovative dual-clutch transverse gearbox. The Revuelto delivers performance and driving thrills never seen before. The extensive use of carbon fiber and other ultralight materials has led to the best weight-to-power ratio in Lamborghini history: 1.75 kg/CV. This translates into top performance, with 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in just 2.5 seconds, and maximum speed of over 350 km/h (220 mph).

    The Revuelto starring in Milan Design Week represents the synergistic combined work of Lamborghini’s Centro Stile and its Ad Personam customization department.

    Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini

    “With the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, the partnership between these two icons of Italy’s Motor Valley is enriched by a new chapter that confirms and reinforces the values that inspire us: Italian excellence, sportiness and performance, with a design that is always distinctive,” declared Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati. “We were inspired by the Lamborghini Revuelto, thus creating an association between the two companies’ most exclusive and representative models. This choice confirms our constant desire to offer enthusiasts unique collector’s items of extraordinary beauty which can provide the most exciting on-road experience.”

    The technical foundation for the Panigale V4 Lamborghini is the new V4 S (press kit here), a motorbike which is particularly advanced thanks to an integrated approach balanced between aerodynamics and design, an extremely effective chassis, and major electronic innovations such as the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) and Race eCBS.

    To create the V4 Lamborghini, Ducati’s Centro Stile worked alongside Lamborghini’s to design the unmistakable livery and a series of unique details inspired by the Revuelto, creating an exclusive bike limited to 630 numbered examples.

    The forged aluminum wheel rims have been specifically designed for this motorbike and feature the same style as those of the Revuelto, while the tail piece and wings have been reworked by Ducati’s designers following the lines of the super sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

    The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is rendered particularly unique by the livery based on the black color of carbon fiber with visible texture, details in Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto and Grigio Acheso, and the dedicated seat, which takes inspiration from the interior of the Revuelto.

    As further proof of the attention to every single detail in this collaboration between the two brands, the bodywork and remaining components such as the heat shield, heel guard, and front and rear mudguards are entirely in carbon fibre, using the same weave featured in Lamborghini’s super sports cars. On the bike’s symmetry line, where the weave intersects, the typical herringbone design is found, the result of artisanal work of the highest precision.

    The bike is equipped with an approved Akrapovič titanium silencer with carbon end caps, which together with a dedicated calibration for the engine, bring the maximum power of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini to 218.5 horsepower. The high number of carbon fiber components, combined with the silencer, bring the weight of the bike down to 185 kg, almost 2 kg less than the Panigale V4 S, with a power-to-weight ratio that thus goes from 1.15 to 1.18 HP/Kg. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is the most powerful and lightest of the family.

    The specifications of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini are rounded off by the dry clutch and adjustable footrests, brake and clutch levers, and counterweights made from billet aluminum. Those wanting to use their motorcycle on the track will have a racing tank cap in billet aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, carbon fiber open clutch cover, and a license plate holder removal kit, all included with the bike.

    The bike is further enhanced by the plate on the engine bearing its name (Desmosedici Stradale); the triple clamp machined from billet aluminum; and the dedicated dashboard animation at key-on, including the name of the motorbike and the example number. The same number is also laser-etched onto the aluminum badge of the ignition key.

    Each Panigale V4 Lamborghini is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and dedicated motorbike cover delivered in a special personalized box matching the livery. Moreover, every Panigale V4 Lamborghini will be delivered in an exclusive customized wooden crate, complete with dedicated rear stand once again matching the bike’s livery.

    The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini draws inspiration from the revolutionary super sports car from the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based manufacturer, sharing not only its spirit of extreme sporting performance and exclusivity, but also stylistic elements such as the iconic livery, the forged rims and the carbon fiber components, including the roof, engine hood and spoiler.

    The vehicle features a unique configuration, starting with the style of the exterior thanks to dual-color livery in Grigio Telesto and Nero Noctis, enhanced by details in Verde Scandal. This latter color also features in other details of numerous components, such as the brake calipers and the band edged in Nero Noctis, which runs from the front hood to the vehicle’s tail. The 21″/22″ Altanero Shiny Black rims provide vigor to the side view.

    Further “Ad Personam” customization elements are the lower livery on carbon fiber and the contrasting livery in Verde Scandal which extends onto the rear carbon wing, in addition to the “63” logo edged with the same color, a characteristic present only in the most exclusive models.

    The interior of the Revuelto reflects the same attention to detail and customization. The Full Carbon Interior Pack is accompanied by Unicolor Leather & Corsa Tex upholstery, with contrasting stitching and profiles in Verde Scandal. The logo embroidered on the headrests and the mats with contrasting stitching use the same lively shade. Some of the standout “Ad Personam” content includes the customized seats in Nero Ade with “Y” upholstered in Verde Scandal, and hexagonal embroidery in Grigio Octans and Verde Scandal, repeated on the roof lining and door panels, with additional embroidery of the “63” logo and leather handles in the same green color. They are features which enhance the design of the Revuelto and which also feed into the specifications of the Borgo Panigale bike. Completing the customization are two carbon-fiber plates on the sides of the instrument panel: the first with the “Ad Personam” logo, and the second dedicated to the collaboration with the tagline “Drive Ducati Beyond.”

    Panigale V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti

    In addition to these 630 examples, Ducati is also producing an even more exclusive series, named the Speciale Clienti, available only to 63 Lamborghini customers. These select few, in direct contact with the Ducati Centro Stile, will be able to transfer the color scheme of their Lamborghini to their Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti, or else choose from color combinations proposed by the Ducati Centro Stile.

    It is a unique opportunity, which takes on an even greater meaning for Revuelto owners: the possibility to extend the customization of their super sports car to their bike will allow them to create the perfect pairing, a genuine custom garage where every detail reflects the customer’s identity.

    In addition, for the Speciale Clienti it will also be possible to customize the engraving on the sides of the triple clamp, and the rear stand will be painted in the same chosen livery, making each example a unique and unrepeatable piece.

    The unique nature of the partnership is further reinforced by the possibility – only for Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini owners – to complete their look with a limited-edition helmet, jacket and leather riding suit, featuring the same color scheme as the 630 bikes. Purchasers of the Speciale Clienti version can have the suit in the colors of their bike.

    Deliveries of the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini will commence in September 2025.

  • Lamborghini and Ducati Collaborate

    Lamborghini and Ducati Collaborate

    Sant’Agata Bolognese/Borgo Panigale, 7th April 2025 – The partnership between two undisputed symbols of Italian industry, Lamborghini and Ducati, has always been fertile ground for the creation of unique projects capable of quickening the pulse of motorbike enthusiasts and collectors all over the world, thanks to the shared racing DNA of the two manufacturers.

    With a history rich in successes, this collaboration now embarks on an exciting new chapter. The latest extraordinary expression of this synergy will be unveiled during the Milano Design Week, on April 9th.

    The previous collaborations between Ducati and Lamborghini have shown how the pursuit of shared values – such as the authenticity of ‘Made in Italy’, a vocation for sporting brilliance and pioneering design – can spawn truly original projects.

    The first example was the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini, inspired by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 and presented on 25 November 2020 in a limited edition of 630 models. This was a motorbike that reinterpreted the stylistic hallmarks of one of the brand’s most iconic cars.

    Developed based on the Ducati Diavel 1260 S, the Lamborghini version was transformed in terms of its most distinctive elements. The predilection for fine lightweight materials, a characteristic trait of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-manufactured super sports cars, and shared by Ducati, was translated into wide use of carbon fiber for numerous components of the bike to further elevate its performance. The design of the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini was born from the creative synergy between the Ducati Centro Stile and the Lamborghini Centro Stile, combining the stylistic authenticity of both marques.

    The success of this first project laid solid foundations for an equally exciting second chapter: the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, inspired by the uncompromising power and extreme engineering of the Lamborghini Huracán STO.

    Presented at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix in September 2022, this model further strengthened the bond between the two brands, conveying the style and performance of a genuine Lamborghini super sports car to a motorcycle. This limited and numbered edition was also a remarkable success, with 630 units and an additional 63 exclusive units dedicated to Lamborghini customers in a clear acknowledgment of the authenticity and originality of the project.

    Now, excitement is growing around the third chapter of this amazing partnership. Ducati and Lamborghini are ready to celebrate their union, built on extreme performance, cutting-edge engineering and a shared performance DNA, during the prestigious Milano Design Week on 9 April.

    Lamborghini Celebrates Polo Storico’s Tenth Anniversary at The I.C.E. St. Moritz

    [source: Lamborghini]

    Sant’Agata Bolognese – The Lamborghini Polo Storico tenth anniversary celebrations began in St. Moritz on 21 and 22 February with two days dedicated to the company’s classic cars and heritage center. On the evening of 21 February the Balthazar Downtown restaurant hosted an exclusive dinner for a select group of Polo Storico customers and collectors. The following day, international journalists and customers were welcomed to the Lamborghini Polo Storico Lounge. An extraordinary Diablo SE 30 (viola30; metallic uni; 210113; Lamborghini) captured the guests’ attention throughout the weekend. The car, painted in “Lambo Thirty”—a brilliant purple created especially for this version—was spectacularly positioned, “flying,” on the panoramic terrace of Balthazar Downtown. The terrace looks out over the frozen water of Lake St. Moritz, where two more historic Lamborghini vehicles were in the spotlight: the Countach “pace car”, which took part as support at the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1981 and 1982, and a Miura SV were brought to St. Moritz by their owners to participate in the “The I.C.E. St. Moritz” concours d’elegance.

    “In St. Moritz, we kicked off a year of celebrations that will take us to some of the world’s most exclusive locations, engaging our international community.” stated Alessandro Farmeschi, After Sales Director at Automobili Lamborghini. “It was really meaningful to meet up in the Alps with our customers. Together, in the last ten years we’ve worked on unique projects, certified exceptional cars and promoted the history of our brand around the world.”

    Among the vehicles that drew the biggest crowds was the eye-catching, legendary Countach LP 400S, also known as the “Countach Pace Car” because it was used as the safety car at the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix in 1981 and was the official car of the Race Director the following year. One of the most iconic Lamborghinis ever employed in a sporting environment, the Countach in question is currently being analyzed as part of the Polo Storico certification process. It was accompanied on the parade around a frozen St. Moritz by a red Miura SV that was certified by Lamborghini Polo Storico in 2018. It was the last and most powerful version of the model, which was launched by Lamborghini in 1966 and was the world’s first super car.

    The value and prestige of Lamborghini’s historic cars have also been confirmed by the public at the Concours d’Elegance. In fact, the Miura SV won the Hero Below Zero award, given based on public preferences.

    The Lamborghini Polo Storico tenth anniversary celebrations will continue in Rome from 24 to 27 April at the Anantara Concours d’Elegance: a new international event exclusively for Italian classic cars. Some of the most iconic masterpieces from motoring history will parade through the heart of the Italian capital, watched by crowds of admiring fans from all over the world. Lamborghini Polo Storico will be present with its own stand.

  • Tedson Remasters Lamborghini Gallardo as Etna

    Tedson Remasters Lamborghini Gallardo as Etna

    If you take the idea of a remaster and focus it solely on the reimagining of classic cars, improving them beyond their original capabilities and modernizing the experience, then the natural question may be, “how soon is too soon?” Enter the Tedson Etna, a remastering of the Lamborghini Gallardo.

    It was 2003 when Lamborghini sold its first Gallardo, based on an all-new aluminum space frame chassis developed by the Volkswagen Group and powered by the first implementation of their then-new high-rev V10. In as much, those earliest Gallardos are barely over 20 years old and hardly classics, yet here we are and we have to say the Tedson Etna looks like a decidedly fresh take.

    On their website, Tedson describes the Etna this way:

    “Breaking new ground in the world of restomods, Tedson Motors expands its restorative services into the realm of Lamborghini, reaffirming our place among the rarest echelon of modern coachbuilders.

    “After years of loving, driving, analyzing and building cars, we were inspired to channel our passion into reinterpreting an Italian supercar legend remastering the iconic Lamborghini Gallardo under the code name ETNA, celebrating raw mechanical purity, emotional expression, and cutting-edge design.

    “The first-generation Gallardo stood out for its naturally aspirated even-firing 5.0L V10 engine, hydraulic steering, and available manual gearbox-a rare formula in today’s digital supercar age. Our goal with ETNA was clear: make it lighter, stronger, more responsive and manual while enhancing its analog soul. We infused it with F1-inspired performance, a 10,000+ RPM redline, and an aesthetic tribute to Lamborghini’s past icons, blended seamlessly with Tedson’s own design philosophy“

    They make a solid case. Many modern sportscars have moved on from manual transmissions or added hybrid / KERS technology that adds to weight. In doing so, many of those more modern sportscars trade purity and even affordability in pursuit of an endless pursuit for speed, capability and even mandated efficiency. There might just be something to reinventing relatively modern cars built before this latest trend.

    Here’s what we know about the Etna. About 450 pounds have been shed through several measures including full carbon fiber bodywork, custom carbon fiber seats, lightweight titanium exhaust and track-inspired suspension components adapted from the Gallardo GT3 and Super Trofeo race cars.

    At the same time, the car has been widened to increase track by 6cm at both the front and rear axles, utilizing wider tires at all four corners.

    The Gallardo’s V10 is also improved, with beefed up internals and optimized intake that increases output to 600 horsepower and allows for a 10,000 rpm redline. In addition to weight savings, the installation of a titanium exhaust system further transforms both power delivery and sound.

    Notably, Tedson also emphasizes its own collector empathy by stating that even though all Etnas will be fitted with a gated manual shifter, the firm is intentionally focusing on more common and less-desirable E-Gear cars on which to build from and convert.

    This is the remaster space, so it’s already expected that Etnas will be tailored to each customer’s tastes. While the interior will be modernized, the focus here has been to maintain the analog feel while upgrading the materials.

    Expect a premiere in early 2026. Tedson plans to build just 77 commissions. Nine cars will be “Launch Edition”, while the remaining 68 cars will begin production in the fall of 2026.

    Why We Love It (and You Probably Can’t Have It):

    When we feature cars from Europe or other markets, we tend to limit them to cars that are of an age that is easily importable. From Europe to the U.S., that’s 25 years and so a car first sold in 2027 like this Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 doesn’t qualify. We’re truly sorry about that, but this Ad Personam special deserves mentioning just the same.

    As colors go, Viola Ophelia is said to have first appeared during Diablo era. It’s an Ad Personam exclusive color, making this really and truly a tailored spec. In this case, it’s paired with a two-tone mauve and cream leather interior with diamond stitching.

    This car is reported to have been delivered new to the Middle East in April of 2007. From there it was registered in Monaco, then later sold to the current Danish consignor in 2022.

    The car is believed to be one of just two Murciélagos built in this color. The transmission is Lamborghini’s 6-speed E-Gear automated manual transmission, and it’s also got the nose lift system.

    Alas, it’s not old enough to import into the USA just yet, so maybe register it in Monaco for seven more years before it can join your stateside collection.

    Why we love it:

    Okay, we may be bending our own rules with so many repainted cars lately. The reality though, in the rare air of classics priced at these levels, is that previous owners can and do end up restoring and sometimes refinishing these cars. At this level, we expect most resprays to be as good or better than the factory, and when it’s a shift to an interesting color we’re more likely to give it a pass. Take for example this Countach 25th Anniversary.

    For starters, it’s a very significant car within the Countach breed. Though its original color Rosso Siviglia is one of the more common Countach 25th Anniversary colors, this car itself is the last known customer-delivered Countach to come out of the Lamborghini factory. It was delivered new in Belgium and has remained there all its life. It also features the sought-after downdraft Weber carburetors, which provided an extra 30 horsepower compared to U.S. models 

    At some point, the color was also changed to this metallic purple hue. Researching the chassis, we’re only finding references to the original red color with beige leather interior featuring red piping. Based on the photos, we suspect the interior was also redone. It is possible that the yellow hue of the leather might be described as “beige”, but we’re also not seeing piping so that’s a guess.

    Whatever the case, it’s a very interesting specimen and so we’re including it. Check out more photos and car history via the dealer’s website linked above.

    This is one of our Euro market finds, so the usual caveats apply for our primarily North American readership. For Europe and other markets, we focus on cars older than 25 years, meaning a relatively easy import into the USA. This is often done by working with firms such as our friends at Orchid Euro, you can have the car purchased, transported to port, shipped to America and cleared through customs for clients seeking this sort of service.

    We’ve always loved the ‘LEGO’ nature of Volkswagen Group vehicles, which has allowed for some wildly inventive and impactful OEM+ upgrades on platform share vehicles over the years. With a catalog of hits as deep as theirs, it can also extend to colors as well, which is exactly what we’re presenting in this Tailored Driver. Lamborghini’s Balloon White is used as a subtle differentiator on this RS 7, further bolstered by a vibrant Audi exclusive red (exact shade undetermined) extended leather found within. Tasteful modifications are featured throughout, making this Tailored Driver the ultimate expression of the very concept this site was founded on.
