Two hybrids supercars built for the extreme
Lamborghini didn’t pick just any models for this event. On one side, the Revuelto—a hybrid supercar combining a naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors, delivering an astonishing 1,015 horsepower. On the other, the brand-new Urus SE, a plug-in hybrid SUV pairing a twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor for a total of 800 horsepower. These machines were put to the test on winding, icy roads under the supervision of professional drivers from the Squadra Corse team. While a supercar like the Revuelto might seem out of place at high altitudes, Lamborghini proved otherwise. Thanks to its all-wheel drive system and instant torque from the electric motors, it delivers impressive traction even on slippery surfaces. Meanwhile, the Urus SE showcased its versatility, performing just as well in off-road conditions as it does in dynamic on-road driving.
Italian luxury in the heart of the Alps
To make the experience even more exclusive, Lamborghini chose a setting worthy of its brand: Le K2 Palace hotel. Inspired by Himalayan peaks, this luxury establishment offers top-tier comfort and gourmet dining, perfectly aligning with Lamborghini’s prestigious image. Guests enjoyed refined cuisine while taking in breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains. This luxurious backdrop reinforces Lamborghini’s philosophy: it’s not just about selling cars—it’s about offering a lifestyle. Far from racetracks and city streets, the brand demonstrates that its models can adapt to any environment while maintaining their radical sports car DNA.
A showcase of cutting-edge technology
Beyond the thrill of driving, this Alpine escape was also an opportunity for Lamborghini to highlight its expertise in electrification. The Revuelto and Urus SE aren’t just standard hybrids—they represent the future of high-performance engineering. With optimized weight, intelligent power management, and advanced onboard systems, these models embody Lamborghini’s transition into a new era. The extensive use of carbon fiber in the Revuelto’s structure ensures an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, while the Urus SE features an advanced torque vectoring system that enhances stability and precision. These innovations prove that Lamborghini isn’t sacrificing performance for the sake of electrification—quite the opposite.
The ultimate blend of luxury and performance
This snow-covered road trip perfectly illustrates Lamborghini’s philosophy: combining raw power with refinement. While some purists might be skeptical about hybridization in the brand’s iconic models, these tests prove that technology can enhance the driving experience without compromising it. In the spectacular setting of the French Alps, the Revuelto and Urus SE demonstrated that they’re not just built for racetracks or city streets—they can thrive in any environment.
