Lamborghini’s first hybrid supercar shows off its revolutionary design.
Automobili Lamborghini’s participation in the Autostyle Design Competition has always been a spectacle, but this year was extra special. Not only did the event mark the 20th anniversary of Autostyle, but it was also Lamborghini’s 12th consecutive year of involvement. Held on October 12 at the upscale Villa Schiarino near Mantua, Italy, the event is considered one of the most prestigious in the realm of automotive design. Sponsored by Berman, a leading Italian OEM parts manufacturer, it serves as a melting pot of innovation for brands eager to showcase their latest design triumphs.
This year, Lamborghini pulled out all the stops with their presentation of the Revuelto, the brand’s first hybrid super sports car. In a field renowned for pushing boundaries, the Revuelto has set a new benchmark, seamlessly combining performance and sustainability. It’s a game-changing vehicle that’s sure to influence the direction of future luxury sports cars. To accentuate the moment, Lamborghini’s display also included current models like the Huracán STO and Huracán Sterrato, as well as iconic vehicles like the 1966 400 GT and the Gallardo, first introduced in 2003. This lineup not only demonstrated Lamborghini’s commitment to innovation but also paid homage to its rich history of design evolution.
One of the highlights of the event was the exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of the Revuelto, presented by Lamborghini’s own design team. Led by Mitja Borkert, Head of Design at Lamborghini, the team provided valuable insights into the philosophy that has shaped some of the brand’s most iconic cars. Borkert took the opportunity to express his excitement about Lamborghini’s participation, emphasizing that the event is a must-attend for anyone serious about automotive design. “It’s always a pleasure to be able to share and talk about what we see as the intrinsic style of Lamborghini DNA,” he said.
In an industry that thrives on constant evolution, the Autostyle Design Competition stands as a testament to how far car design has come, and how much further it can go. Automobili Lamborghini, with its disruptive designs and unparalleled performance, once again proves it’s at the forefront of this evolution. The Revuelto, as the newest member of Lamborghini’s fleet, encapsulates this spirit of relentless innovation.
As the first hybrid offering from the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese, it marks a significant chapter in Lamborghini’s journey towards a more sustainable, yet equally exhilarating, driving experience. The 20th Autostyle Design Competition serves as the perfect platform for this revelation, and one can only wonder what Lamborghini and other automotive giants will bring to the table in future editions.
