Lamborghini Mayfair Opens Its Doors: London Gets a New Supercar Destination

London just got even louder — and glossier. Lamborghini has officially opened its brand-new Mayfair showroom, right in the heart of Berkeley Square. The event was hosted by none other than Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann, who cut the ribbon in front of an audience packed with VIPs, collectors, and the capital’s most devoted petrolheads.

If you thought Mayfair already had its fair share of exclusivity, think again. Lamborghini’s new “destination” showroom isn’t just another car boutique — it’s the Italian marque’s statement piece in one of the world’s most expensive postcodes.

Step inside, and it’s clear this isn’t your typical dealership. Huge glass windows look out onto Mayfair’s luxury-lined streets, while inside, Lamborghini’s signature Ad Personam lounge lets buyers go wild with personalisation. From paint finishes to stitching colours, it’s a sensory overload — and the biggest display of its kind in Europe.

“The Mayfair opening is a highly strategic and important moment for Lamborghini,” Winkelmann said. “The UK is consistently one of our top four markets worldwide, and this location connects us directly with our international clientele who frequent London.”

In other words: if you’ve got a Mayfair postcode and a taste for V12 noise (or hybrid-electric fury), Lamborghini’s got your next toy waiting.

HR Owen Expands Its Lamborghini Empire

The new dealership is operated by HR Owen — one of Britain’s biggest names in luxury motoring. This marks their fifth Lamborghini franchise, joining showrooms in South Kensington, Manchester, Pangbourne and Hatfield.

“Opening our fifth Lamborghini dealership is a proud moment,” said HR Owen CEO Ken Choo. “We’ve represented the marque for more than 25 years and have played a key role in growing Lamborghini’s presence in the UK. This new site reinforces our long-term commitment to the brand and our clients.”

Hybrid Power, Italian Drama

Naturally, the launch night wasn’t short on headline acts. On display was the Lamborghini Fenomeno — the ultra-exclusive, 1,000+hp “few-off” hypercar first shown at Monterey Car Week earlier this year. All 29 examples are already sold, naturally.

Also drawing crowds was the Temerario, Lamborghini’s latest hybrid supercar, featuring an all-new twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain and the brand’s evolving design language. Out front, guests could spot a Revuelto — the V12 plug-in hybrid flagship — alongside the Urus SE, Lamborghini’s new electrified super SUV.

It was a perfect snapshot of where the brand stands in 2025: still loud, still dramatic, but now powered by electricity as much as adrenaline.

The Ultimate Personalisation Playground

Guests weren’t just there to admire the hardware. Upstairs, Lamborghini’s private Ad Personam floor gave buyers the chance to dive into an endless array of options — from custom leathers and unique carbon finishes to a huge 3D configurator that lets you build your dream Lambo in ultra-high detail.

Champagne flowed, conversations hummed, and more than a few phones pointed at the Fenomeno’s angular bodywork. For London’s supercar scene, this was more than an opening night — it was a reminder that even as Lamborghini evolves into the hybrid era, its flair for drama and luxury remains untouchable.

Lamborghini Already Testing a Hotter Revuelto — The “S” Could Be Coming Sooner Than You Think

You can’t stand still in the car world—and when it comes to supercars, standing still is practically a crime. Lamborghini only just unleashed the 1,001-horsepower Revuelto hybrid V-12 hypercar earlier this year, but it seems Sant’Agata’s engineers are already working on something even wilder. A new prototype spotted in Spain hints that a hotter Revuelto may already be in the pipeline—possibly the Revuelto S.

The spy video, captured by NCars on YouTube, shows what looks like a near-production Revuelto lapping a test circuit under the Spanish sun. The car is wrapped only across its front hood, with the rest of its sharp, origami-style bodywork left fully exposed. A small piece of data-logging gear sits on the roof, but otherwise, this looks nearly identical to the current production model.

So, what’s new here? Visually, not much—and that’s precisely what makes this prototype intriguing. Lamborghini typically rolls out more aggressive variants later in a model’s life cycle. The Aventador, for instance, launched in 2011 and didn’t see its first evolution—the wild SV—until 2015. Then came the Aventador S in 2016, bringing updates to aerodynamics, suspension, and electronic systems.

But times have changed. Lamborghini’s development cycles are accelerating, and its engineering teams are now capable of churning out new variants faster than ever. Given that the Revuelto just hit the streets, this lightly disguised test mule suggests that Lamborghini is either refining hardware updates—perhaps to the hybrid system or chassis tuning—or experimenting with software revisions that could sharpen performance or drivability.

Interestingly, the Revuelto wasn’t alone in Spain. Alongside it, Lamborghini had several Temerario prototypes running around, all completely uncovered, and a handful of Urus SUVs—some wearing full camouflage wraps. The Temerario, Lamborghini’s all-new V8 hybrid supercar, is fresh from its global debut, while the Urus just received a major facelift with the introduction of the plug-in hybrid SE.

So, what’s Lamborghini cooking up here? It’s too early to say for certain, but this prototype shows that the Italian brand isn’t letting its foot off the gas—or the electrons—anytime soon. Whether it’s a more hardcore Revuelto S, a lightweight track package, or simply a testbed for future tech, one thing’s clear: Lamborghini is already plotting its next move.

And in the world of supercars, staying ahead means never standing still.

Inside the “Tailored for Speed” Collection: 42 Supercars Headed to Auction

Supercar collections are nothing new, but every so often one comes along that feels less like an enthusiast’s garage and more like a museum with a private key. This November, RM Sotheby’s will put the spotlight on exactly that: the “Tailored for Speed Collection,” a 42-car assemblage of the world’s most desirable exotics, quietly tucked away in Switzerland until now.

Recently, Chris Harris was granted access to this vault of horsepower, and if his reaction is any indication, we’re looking at one of the most impressive single-owner lineups ever to cross an auction block.

Ferrari Obsession, Perfected

While the collection features Bugattis, Paganis, and a handful of other top-shelf machinery, it doesn’t take long to figure out where the owner’s heart lies. Of the 42 cars, 33 wear Ferrari’s prancing horse badge—and not just any Ferraris. We’re talking about the kind of machines that rarely leave Maranello’s factory gates without instantly becoming collectible.

The star of the show? A 1998 Ferrari 333 SP, one of just 40 built. A legitimate endurance racer that claimed victories in the 1999 Sports Racing World Cup, it’s expected to hammer for $5.5 to $6.5 million.

But the 333 SP isn’t alone in representing Ferrari’s track pedigree. The auction lineup also includes an FXX-K Evo, an FXX Evo, and a 599 XX, each a factory-built track weapon that rewrote performance benchmarks in their eras. Estimates peg them between $3.5 million and $5.5 million apiece.

Then there are the road-going legends: a 2017 LaFerrari Aperta (projected at $5.5 million), the Daytona SP3, a classic F40, and a fresh 812 Competizione A. Throw in rarities like the SA Aperta, F12tdf, and even a 488 GTE Evo race car, and it’s clear this is no ordinary Ferrari fan’s garage—it’s practically an archive of Maranello’s greatest hits.

Not Just Maranello

Still, the Tailored for Speed Collection doesn’t stop at the Cavallino Rampante. From Modena, we pivot to Modena’s eccentric neighbor: Pagani. One highlight is a Huayra Roadster BC in Francia Blue with exposed carbon accents, estimated between $4.0 and $4.4 million. Alongside it sits the ferocious Huayra R (one of only 30 made) and the recently delivered Utopia, making this arguably one of the strongest Pagani trios outside of Horacio’s own factory.

Bugatti is no less represented. Leading the charge is a 2023 Chiron Super Sport finished in blue carbon fiber, a car that looks like it was hewn from a block of sapphire. With just 516 kilometers on the odometer, it could bring $4.4 million.

And because no modern supercar collection feels complete without some curveballs, the auction will also feature a Lamborghini Sian FKP 37, a Huracán Tecnica 60th Anniversary Edition, a Bentley Continental GT3-R, and even a Mercedes-AMG GT2 Pro.

A Collector’s Legacy, by Hammer Fall

RM Sotheby’s hasn’t revealed the collector’s identity, but judging by the curation, the mystery owner has a knack for timing. Many of these cars are not only rare but represent transitional moments in supercar history: analog-to-digital Ferraris, the rise of hybrid hypercars, the bespoke craftsmanship of Pagani, and the limited-edition excess of Lamborghini.

When the gavel falls in November, the Tailored for Speed Collection is expected to bring in several hundred million dollars in total. More than that, though, it will mark the end of an era for a collector whose passion leaned heavily toward Maranello, but never forgot to leave space for sapphire-colored Bugattis and hand-sculpted Paganis.

Whether you’re a buyer with a few million to spare or just a dreamer flipping through the catalog, one thing is certain: this is the kind of auction that reminds us why car culture is as much about emotion as it is about engineering.
