The Majlis at Lamborghini returns: A fusion of art, heritage, and automotive mastery
At the heart of the event, renowned Lebanese artist Ihab Ahmad embarked on a live painting performance, reimagining a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder EVO as a canvas for creativity and storytelling. Over 90 hours, he meticulously infused the supercar with bold geometric motifs and symbolic patterns, using eight Lamborghini paint colours to bring his vision to life. Across seven nights, guests gathered to witness his artistic process, capturing the essence of youth, joy, and speed - qualities that are synonymous with Lamborghini.
Ahmad's artwork was a reflection of Lamborghini's core values - Brave, Unexpected, and Authentic - blending contemporary energy with artistic heritage. His vibrant colour choices, playful yet meticulously crafted, echoed the spirit of Lamborghini's Ad Personam programme, which offers clients over 400 bespoke colour options to personalise their supercars in line with their own individuality. Designed for those who seek exclusivity, Ad Personam allows every Lamborghini to become a unique expression of its owner's personality - just as Ihab's art transformed the Huracán into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
The event culminated in a grand unveiling, revealing a creation that seamlessly blended heritage with innovation. The atmosphere, steeped in cultural tradition, offered guests an immersive experience, indulging in gourmet delicacies, engaging in traditional board games, and enjoying a mesmerising oud performance. A skilled calligrapher added a personal touch by customising Lamborghini-branded cups with live Arabic calligraphy, celebrating the beauty of cultural craftsmanship.
In addition to the live art performance, the showroom featured a curated exhibition by Firetti Contemporary, showcasing works by internationally acclaimed sculptors Rachel K, Paolo Nicolai, Laurent Perbos, and Helidon Xhixha. This exclusive gathering reinforced Lamborghini's role as a cultural tastemaker, fostering artistic dialogue and meaningful connections. The showroom-turned-Majlis became a sanctuary of cross-cultural expression, where precision engineering met the evocative power of art. It was a testament to Lamborghini's philosophy - where design and performance are more than engineering; they are forms of artistic mastery.
"At Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai, we are passionate about creating experiences that transcend automotive excellence," commented Rakan Turki, CEO of Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai. "The Majlis reflects our commitment to honouring the traditions of Ramadan while embracing innovation and bringing together art, culture, and gastronomy in a way that resonates with our diverse community. Collaborating with creatives allows us to celebrate craftsmanship in all its forms, embodying the spirit of Ramadan in a truly unique way."
"We are honoured to collaborate with Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai once again, bringing together art, innovation, and cultural heritage in a truly immersive experience," added Mara Firetti, founder and managing partner of Firetti Contemporary. 'This year's Suhoor Majlis reflects the powerful intersection of tradition and modernity, where creativity knows no boundaries.'
As Lamborghini continues to push the boundaries of innovation and design, The Majlis at Lamborghini stands as a testament to its dedication to crafting experiences that inspire and connect. More than just a gathering, it was a tribute to the UAE's rich cultural fabric - a symbol of unity, artistic vision, and the seamless synergy between luxury, performance, and tradition.

Lamborghini Temerario review: Raging bull finds its voice once again
The air at Portugal's Estoril Circuit has often been thick with anticipation thanks to its Formula One legacy but the buzz on this drizzly summer morning was palpable by any standard. That's often the case with a new Lamborghini, a marque that's long defied convention with audacious design and unfiltered power. Take the Countach, which, despite its notorious handling, influenced the silhouette of nearly every supercar since. Today's centrepiece was the debut of the Temerario. Those accustomed to the theatre of car launches still feel the frisson when a new raging bull is unleashed. Lamborghini is about more than speed – it's about presence and a primal connection to the machine. Even before its official reveal, the Temerario whispered promises of a new chapter in Sant'Agata Bolognese's pursuit of automotive drama. Bathed in defiantly bright colours, a menacing line-up of Temerarios sat in the pit lane. Their low-slung, angular forms were new but unmistakably Lamborghini. Razor-sharp lines hinted at aerodynamic intent – the aggressive stance at massive power beneath its composite skin. Signature Y-motifs were subtly evolved. The colossal diffuser and high-mounted exhausts at the rear looked ready to devour tarmac. This was intimidating beauty, demanding attention rather than requesting it. Underneath it all, an all-new 4-litre V8 twin-turbo engine is paired with three electric motors. This isn't just about horsepower. It's about torque delivered like a lightning strike. The 0–100kph sprint takes just 2.7 seconds, with top speed pushing 350kph. But a Lamborghini, especially one built for circuits like Estoril, is about more than straight-line brute force. It's about the dance between driver, machine and asphalt. In that respect, the Temerario was ready to perform. Slipping into the cockpit, one is immediately struck by the focused efficiency of the interior – not unusual in a supercar, but those not familiar with such vehicles might be surprised by how many manufacturers opt for a questionable cabin layout. Every control is within easy reach, each display angled for optimal readability, and the seats, sculpted for lateral support, cradle me firmly, a necessary embrace given what is to come. Pressing the start button unleashes a growl that vibrates through the chassis and into my bones. This is the sound of nearly 800bhp, spinning up to 10,000rpm. The first laps of the iconic circuit were for familiarisation, with the track and the machine. Even during those tame laps, the car's precision was obvious. Steering was direct and unfiltered, translating track textures to fingertips. With 60% more downforce than the Huracan Evo, even amateur drivers could avoid spin-outs. Carbon-ceramic brakes allowed surgical late-braking – like dropping an anchor with scalpel-like precision. It is possible to hit 300kph on Estoril's straight. Those brakes are needed. A firm throttle press turned the windscreen into a blur. The power-train let loose a mechanical scream. Gear changes cracked from the exhaust in perfectly timed bursts. But the Temerario truly shone in corners. Estoril's demanding mix of sweepers and chicanes saw the car remain planted, balanced, and astonishingly fast. Active aero systems glued it to the tarmac. The chassis stayed composed. Grip through fast turns was phenomenal. Pushing a machine like this to its limits brings primal satisfaction. Despite its sophistication, the Temerario retains Lamborghini's raw, unfiltered soul. It demands full attention. At full tilt, there's no room for error, just controlled chaos. Most drivers exited the cockpit with shaking legs and a desperate need for a strong Portuguese coffee. The Lamborghini Temerario is a defiant ode to the thrill of driving. It reminds us that passion, engineering, and a touch of glorious madness still create the extraordinary. As with almost all supercars these days, it can certainly be used on the road, but, as with almost all supercars these days, something a little larger is probably more suitable for a proper road trip. In the city, it's a caged animal: the symbolic bull, barely contained, straining against the bars. The Temerario isn't just a new model, it's a statement. And at Estoril, it landed with impact.

Digital Toro: Lamborghini's Temerario Charges into Metaverse
Automobili Lamborghini has launched its Temerario model and its GT3 variant as limited-edition digital collectibles, paving the way for a blend of automotive prestige and Web3 innovation. Set to debut in Wilder World, a metaverse platform, the digital Temerarious will also be available via OpenSea and Lamborghini's proprietary Fast ForWorld ecosystem, with minting beginning on 11 July at $300 each. The Italian marque's venture comes amidst a broader metaverse slowdown following the peak of 2021. Yet Lamborghini appears undeterred, doubling down on its partnership with Animoca Brands—first established in October 2024—for immersive digital experiences. By integrating these digital collectibles into Wilder World, the company is laying the groundwork for a future where automotive culture spans both physical and virtual realms. Lamborghini is offering a total of 600 digital cars: 590 street versions and a mere 10 GT3 editions designed to echo the high-performance pedigree of their physical counterparts. The GT3 variant follows Lamborghini's storied motorsport lineage and signals a strategic pivot toward blockchain-enabled fan engagement. The company's earlier launch of the Fast ForWorld platform gives further context: customers leverage the system to interact, trade and utilise digital assets across various gaming environments. ADVERTISEMENT On the technical front, the physical Temerario super‑sports car is a landmark for Sant'Agata Bolognese. Its hybrid architecture blends a twin‑turbocharged 4.0 l V8 with three electric motors, producing 920 CV and achieving a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 2.7 seconds. The top speed is rated at 343 km/h. This plug‑in hybrid design marks Lamborghini's second entry in its High‑Performance Electrified Vehicle range, a continuation of the trailblazing Revuelto lineup. Squadra Corse driver Andrea Caldarelli recently pushed the Temerario to its limits on the Misano circuit, showcasing high‑rev dynamics up to 10 000 rpm. With motorsport‑derived components such as a flat‑plane crankshaft, titanium connecting rods and DLC‑coated finger followers, the car blends race‑focused engineering with hypercar refinement. Caldarelli commended its 'fun‑to‑drive character' and the seamless experience as the tachometer climbed. Lamborghini's move follows a cautious recalibration of its electrification strategy. While an all‑electric model has been deferred to 2029, the company continues to emphasise hybrids and synthetic fuels to navigate emissions standards—positioning the Temerario as a flagship of this transition. The metaverse offering thus becomes part of a larger narrative: the fusion of technological innovation in both physical and digital domains. The metaverse has long been touted as the next frontier for digital engagement. Early enthusiasm in 2021 waned under the weight of slow user uptake, but luxury brands such as Gucci, Nike and now Lamborghini have remained optimistic about leveraging Web3 for brand activation. Lamborghini's execution, via its own platform and established marketplaces, gives it a tangible edge in a crowded digital space. By aligning the debut of the digital Temerario with its physical capabilities, Lamborghini is crafting a cohesive narrative: from hardware to software, from exhaust to ethernet. The limited edition drops foster exclusivity—mirroring the scarcity of physical supercars—while empowering a growing segment of digital-native collectors. Minting opens in just days, making this one of the earliest instances of a hypercar brand offering a dual launch: a real-world launch announcement in early July, followed by digital collectible sales in mid-July. Whether collectors take to their digital garages or gamers feature their Temerarious in Wilder World's virtual roadways, Lamborghini is staking a clear claim in the evolution of branded digital assets.
