On Friday at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi stood with Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann as a Temerario in official Polizia colors entered service. Prefect Renato Cortese attended for Police Chief Vittorio Pisani. A book called “I motori della Polizia,” a short record of the force’s working machines, was presented with the car.
Lamborghini just raised the ceiling on what a production V12 hybrid can do. Unveiled during Monterey Car Week, the Revuelto SV arrives as the most powerful road car the company has ever built, pairing a familiar 6.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a more capable electric system and a fixed rear wing that transforms how the car sticks to the road.

Claudio Zampolli spent years fixing other people’s dreams in Los Angeles before deciding to build his own. A former Lamborghini test driver and development engineer, he wanted something that would make the Countach look ordinary. He found a partner in Giorgio Moroder, the three-time Academy Award-winning composer behind some of the biggest disco and film scores of the era. Together they put their names on a car that carried both: the Cizeta-Moroder V16T. Chassis 001 is the only one that ever wore both names at once. In two weeks it heads to RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction with an estimate between $1.4 million and $1.8 million.
Rezvani Motors has taken a Lamborghini Huracán and rebuilt it into something far more extreme than the factory Sterrato ever managed. Called the Dune, this California-built machine keeps the mid-engine V10 layout and all-wheel-drive hardware while adding a supercharger, serious ride height, and a full carbon-fiber body designed to handle dirt, sand, and rocks.
Lamborghini just released a new app built for the Apple Vision Pro. Current hybrid models from the lineup take center stage with high-fidelity digital versions ready for close examination. Models include the Temerario and Revuelto on the two-seater hypercar side while the Urus SE and Urus SE Performante bring the performance SUV offerings into view, with the latter appearing in complete detail ahead of its physical introduction at Goodwood. Two modes shape how each car appears. One mode places the model directly into the user’s real environment so it can occupy full scale next to existing furniture or adjust smaller to match available room. A second mode moves everything into a dedicated digital space created with Lamborghini’s design direction in mind.
A three wheeled roadster in supercar clothing recently crossed the auction block and turned plenty of heads along the way. From a distance the sharp creases and menacing front end easily pass for a Lamborghini Aventador in full flight. Move in closer and the proportions shift. A single large rear tire sits centered under an otherwise familiar open air cabin while Polaris script still marks the sides.
Lamborghini recently unveiled the Fenomeno Roadster, their most powerful open-top convertible yet. Built in a limited run of only 15 units at $5.8+ million each, this car takes the latest Lamborghini hybrid V12 technology and throws the roof, giving drivers a raw taste of speed and the unmistakable roar of the engine.
Liberty Walk, a Japanese performance shop, has a long history of creating ridiculous, widebody modifications, and their work on a 2007 Lamborghini Murciélagos LP640 coupe pushes this to new heights. This Murciélago was originally sold in the United States, but it wound up in Japan in 2012, where it was given a very significant makeover by Liberty Walk’s Silhouette Works GT Evo treatment before making a few more long-distance excursions to Canada and back to the States.
Lamborghini revealed the Manifesto concept to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its in-house design studio, Centro Stile. Design director Mitja Borkert refers to it as a visionary sculpture that demonstrates the direction of the company’s design.
A group of Vietnamese tuners called NHET TV has turned a 1990s Nissan Cefiro into a stunning copy of the Lamborghini Revuelto. This is a labor of love that requires skill, patience and being able to see potential where others see trash.
