During Monterey Car Week 2025, Automobili Lamborghini opened the doors of its private Lamborghini Lounge Monterey to VIP guests, offering a fully immersive experience in Italian design and automotive innovation. The new Fenomeno, the few-off that debuted at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on Friday, August 15, was displayed at the Lamborghini Lounge in a Giallo Crius colored exterior. Launched in only a limited quantity of 29 units, the Fenomeno represents the pinnacle of performance and brand exclusivity.

At the Lamborghini Lounge, the brand exhibited its full model lineup, including the Urus SE, the first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) version of the luxury Super SUV and the most versatile and fun-to-drive in its class; the Revuelto, the first High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), delivering 1,015 CV and setting a new benchmark for hybrid super sports cars; and the Temerario, the all-new successor to the iconic Huracán, featuring a new V8 engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm. 

The Ad Personam design studio offered guests the ability to explore the extensive possibilities of Lamborghini customization. Showcasing the broad range of colors for which Lamborghini is known, the space housed elements such as leather swatches, exterior paint samples, rims and brake calipers – offering a tactile experience of the bespoke elements available when designing a dream car.

Sonus faber, the renowned Italian designer of hand-crafted speakers, launched the next chapter in their partnership with the debut of Il Cremonese Ex3mme – Automobili Lamborghini Edition. For the first time, the emotion of the Italian super sports car and the soul of the Italian sound converge to deliver an unparalleled listening experience in the home. With only 50 individually numbered pairs available, the limited-edition II Cremonese is offered in five iconic Lamborghini finishes.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Polo Storico, the Lamborghini Lounge featured a special Miura P400. Originally delivered in 1968 through the Bologna dealership in green with mustard colored cloth interior, the car was repainted in Arancio Miura (orange) after an accident in 1971, a color it still wears today. Exported to the United States in 1972, it remained with the same owner for forty years before undergoing light restoration in 2012 under its current ownership. Certified by Lamborghini Polo Storico in 2023, the car represents the iconic Miura, widely regarded as the first true supercar, and is one of only around 200 vehicles worldwide to have received official authenticity certification from the company. Guests also enjoyed sweet bites and refreshments at the Polo Storico Café, served from a vintage Vespa gelato cart.

With an unmatched tradition of automotive excellence since 1950, the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance brought together auto enthusiasts from around the globe to watch style icons, innovative prototypes and racing greats compete for the top prize in the collector car world. The Lamborghini Fenomeno was a highlight of the Concept Lawn which annually spotlights the most anticipated concepts of tomorrow. Both Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, along with Design Director, Mitja Borkert, served as Honorary Judges in Sunday’s ceremonies, a special role they were eager to return for again this year.

That same day, two historic Lamborghinis stood out in the classic car concours, both brought by their owners. One was a 350GT in grigio medio (medium grey) with tobacco leather interior, delivered new in 1965 to the Jake Kaplan dealership in the United States and still preserved in its original configuration. The other, a Miura SV originally finished in Rosso Corsa (red) with black interior and delivered in 1971 in Milan, has just completed a full restoration in Italy, where it was repainted in metallic green. During Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance, the Miura SV was awarded 3rd place in the Postwar Sport Touring class.

Both vehicles hold a Certification of Authenticity issued by Lamborghini Polo Storico, a document granted following thorough historical research and check. Proudly presented by their owners to the judges during the event, these certifications are a testament to the cars’ authenticity and a key reference in preserving the brand’s heritage.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
