Automobili Lamborghini returned to one of the world’s largest linked ski areas – Les Trois Vallées – with a convoy of Urus SE and Revuelto, both hybrid models in the current Lamborghini range. The international guests experienced a memorable journey covering 200 kilometers of mountain roads, stunning snow-covered panoramas and hospitality excellence with a focus on the highest levels of performance and driving enjoyment.

“At Automobili Lamborghini, we are always pushing the boundaries of innovation and performance,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “With the Revuelto and Urus SE, we are not only embracing hybrid technology but redefining the driving experience for our customers. Events like this allow us to showcase our accomplishments in a setting that embodies our core values of bravery, authenticity and the unexpected.”

The special rendezvous created a 360-degree immersion into the Italian super sports brand, including a deep dive into the hybrid masterpieces manufactured in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the French Alps, guests experienced at first hand the exhilaration of driving Lamborghini’s high-performance hybridized lineup. The Revuelto, Lamborghini’s first V12 High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), delivers an astonishing 1015 CV, redefining the boundaries of performance and sustainability. Meanwhile, the Urus SE, the brand’s first plug-in hybrid Super SUV, provides a powerful combination of a V8 twin-turbo engine and an electric motor, producing 800 CV and offering best-in-class performance on any terrain.

Guided by professional Squadra Corse pilots, participants navigated the winding mountain roads of Courchevel to explore the cars’ superior handling, responsiveness, and versatility in extreme conditions. Beyond the exhilarating drive, an exceptional guest experience was created at the exclusive Le K2 Palace, an ultra-luxury resort inspired by the Himalayas, where bespoke hospitality reflected Lamborghini’s dedication to the best in refined sophistication.

Le K2 Collections

The guests’ hotel, Le K2 Palace, a jewel in the Himalayan-inspired “Le K2 Collections”, is framed by the mountains and perfectly integrated into the landscape. The hotel overlooks the Trois Vallées offering incredible panoramic views and direct access to the ski slopes. Guests dined in L’Altitude and Bottleneck restaurants, with their Tibetan–inspired decor combining charm and excellence and a culinary experience combining a reinvention of traditional French cuisine; the best artisan French cheeses; and extraordinary dessert creations that resonate with gourmets around the world.

Guests also had the chance to explore the hospitality of two more hotels: Le K2 Altitude for lunch, in its Base Kamp by Aïnata restaurant at the foot of ski slopes inspired by Lebanese mountains, as well as a coffee break at Le K2 Chogori.

Urus SE

The Urus SE features a new design, optimized aerodynamics, unprecedented on-board technology and an 800 CV hybrid powertrain. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version ranks at the top of the Urus range in terms of comfort, performance, efficiency, emissions and driving pleasure. Thanks to its two ‘hearts’, thermal and electric, the torque and power values are the highest ever, giving the SE a unique place in its category and boasting an 80% reduction in emissions. The Urus SE offers an unparalleled driving experience: the plug-in hybrid system helps to improve the vehicle’s performance and dynamics on any surface and in any condition. More torque and power at any rpm is provided by way of innovative technical solutions such as the introduction of the electric torque vectoring system between the two axles, and the electronic rear differential. The Urus SE delivers state-of-the-art performance combined with inimitable Lamborghini DNA: at the top of its class for its driving dynamics and fun-to drive character it combines absolute comfort with performance.

The twin-turbo 4.0 V8 engine has been re-engineered to work in optimal synergy with the electric powertrain. It develops 620 CV of power (456 kW) and 800 Nm of driving torque; the combustion unit is combined with an electric powertrain delivering 192 CV (141 kW) and 483 Nm of torque. In delivering maximum output a focus on the calibration strategy between ICE and e-motor reaches a total output of 800 CV to ensure an optimal power curve in every driving mode and surface.

The system develops a total power output of 800 CV (588 kW) at 6000 rpm and a total torque of 950 Nm already available at 1750 rpm and up to 5750 rpm, ensuring best-in class performance from every angle. This is also thanks to a further enhanced weight-top power ratio: 3.13 kg/CV (compared to 3.3 in the Urus S). The Urus SE sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds (Urus S: 3.5) and from 0 to 200 km/h in just 11.4 seconds (Urus S: 12.5), reaching a top speed of 312 km/h (Urus S: 305 km/h). These figures make the SE the most powerful Urus ever and the fastest production car in the segment, setting a new benchmark in the Super SUV category.

Revuelto

Revuelto, is the first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) and defines a new paradigm in terms of performance, sportiness and driving pleasure from its unprecedented new architecture; innovative design; maximum-efficiency aerodynamics; and a new carbon frame concept. An output of 1015 CV is delivered from the combined power of an entirely new combustion engine together with three electric motors, alongside a double-clutch gearbox that makes its debut on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini for the first time.

The powertrain combines high specific power elements: the new 127 CV/liter combustion engine works synergically with two front axial flux motors that deliver an outstanding weight-to-power ratio, with a radial flux electric motor positioned above the first eight-speed double-clutch gearbox debuting on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini. The three electric motors are powered by a lithium-ion high specific power (4500 W/kg) battery pack that also supports a fully-electric drive mode.

Carbon fiber, produced via artisan craftmanship in the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, is the principal structural element within the new car, used not only in the monofuselage and frame but also for many elements of the bodywork. The extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight materials, combined with the potent engine power, contributes to achieving the best weight-to-power ratio in the history of Lamborghini: 1.75 kg/CV.

The Revuelto combines these attributes to deliver performance figures at the peak of its segment: acceleration from 0-100 km/h in only 2.5 seconds and a top speed of more than 350 km/h. These numbers combine with its exceptional dynamism thanks to the introduction of electric torque vectoring, and four-wheel drive available also in fully-electric drive mode, ensuring the Revuelto super sports car expresses its amplified qualities both on track and in daily driving.
