Umberto Tossini Leaves Lamborghini Following Two Decades of People-Centered Leadership

After nearly two decades helping shape the people and culture behind the raging bull, Umberto Tossini is stepping down from his role as Chief People, Culture and Organization Officer at Automobili Lamborghini. The announcement marks the end of a significant era for the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand—one defined not just by record sales and new models, but by a deep transformation in how the company thinks about its people.

Tossini joined Lamborghini back in 2006 as Human Resources Director, stepping into a company that, at the time, still carried the intimate scale of a niche supercar builder. Over the following 19 years, he helped steer the brand through a period of explosive growth, guiding the workforce from a few hundred employees to more than 3,000. Alongside Lamborghini’s engineering milestones, Tossini’s focus on culture, inclusion, and sustainability helped define the modern identity of the company.

Among his key achievements: the localization and launch of production for the Urus, Lamborghini’s first Super SUV, which transformed the brand’s industrial footprint in Italy. The project brought a major investment to Sant’Agata Bolognese, turning Lamborghini’s hometown into a fully integrated manufacturing hub—a move made possible through collaboration with both local and national institutions.

Tossini also spearheaded initiatives like DESI (Dual Education System Italy), the country’s first dual vocational training program, which celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2025. The program has become a benchmark for hands-on learning in the automotive sector, bridging the gap between technical education and industry practice. More recently, he played a pivotal role in negotiating Lamborghini’s renewed supplementary agreement, an innovative labor framework that redefined work hours and became a model for positive union relations.

Throughout his tenure, Tossini’s leadership has emphasized human value over hierarchy—a rare philosophy in an industry often obsessed with horsepower and profit margins. Under his guidance, Lamborghini earned Top Employer certification for twelve consecutive years, consistently improving its standing as one of Italy’s best workplaces.

Now, as Tossini departs to pursue new professional challenges, CEO Stephan Winkelmann will temporarily assume his responsibilities until a successor is named. In a statement, Lamborghini expressed “gratitude to Umberto Tossini for his work and his contribution to the company’s many achievements over the years,” underscoring that his people-first approach remains a cornerstone of the brand’s ongoing success.

In an era when Lamborghini is pivoting toward electrification and sustainable luxury, Tossini’s legacy may prove as vital as any new powertrain—reminding the world that the soul of the bull isn’t just forged in carbon fiber and fire, but in the people who make it all possible.

Lamborghini Arena Is Back—And Louder Than Ever

When Lamborghini throws a party, it doesn’t do half measures. The Lamborghini Arena is back, and this time the Raging Bull plans to make Imola shake with V10 and V12 thunder. Set for May 9–10, 2026, the event returns to the legendary Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, a venue that perfectly embodies what Lamborghini stands for—speed, emotion, and pure Italian theater.

The first edition in 2023 was already a spectacle: over 6,000 fans, nearly 400 Lamborghinis on track, and a weekend that turned the Imola paddock into a sea of yellow, orange, and Verde Mantis. The second coming of Lamborghini Arena promises to be even bigger, louder, and more electrifying.

A Festival of the Bull

Originally conceived as a “homecoming” for the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese and its global family, Lamborghini Arena isn’t just another car meet. It’s the physical manifestation of the brand’s soul — a blend of high performance, design artistry, and that particular sense of Italian drama you can’t quite bottle.

This year, the event will coincide with the second round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, the brand’s one-make racing series. The move bridges two worlds that usually orbit separately: the polished lifestyle of Lamborghini ownership and the raw intensity of motorsport. Expect to see Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2s battling wheel-to-wheel mere meters away from spectators sipping espresso under black-and-gold parasols.

“Lamborghini Arena represents the most authentic celebration of our brand,” said Stephan Winkelmann, the marque’s Chairman and CEO. “It’s a unique opportunity to experience the energy and passion that unite our global community. Following the success of the first edition, we return to Imola with an even richer event that combines the competitive spirit of the Super Trofeo with the pleasure of sharing our history, our values, and our vision for the future.”

A Living, Breathing Lamborghini Universe

At the core of the weekend will be the Lifestyle Village—a curated space where Lamborghini’s partners and collaborators showcase everything from luxury design to cutting-edge innovation. Think of it as a cross between a high-end auto show and a motorsport carnival: carbon-fiber art installations, concept car reveals, and perhaps even a glimpse of Lamborghini’s future electrified models.

Visitors can choose their level of immersion. General admission gets you into the action, but exclusive packages promise deeper access—private paddock tours, guided brand experiences, and even hot laps alongside factory drivers. It’s less a car event than a two-day deep dive into Lamborghini’s DNA.

Heritage, Horsepower, and the Human Touch

What makes Lamborghini Arena more than a flashy gathering is its sense of community. Owners, collectors, fans, and even engineers from Sant’Agata mingle freely. Classic Miuras and Countachs line up next to Huracáns and Revueltos, tracing six decades of unfiltered passion. It’s a rare moment where the past, present, and future of Lamborghini coexist—not in a museum, but on a live racetrack under the roar of naturally aspirated engines.

If the 2023 debut proved that Lamborghini could pull off such an event, 2026 is about evolution—about turning that initial spark into a lasting tradition. Expect more cars, more spectacle, and more of that unmistakable Lamborghini energy that transforms admiration into adrenaline.

Where Passion Becomes Experience

Ultimately, Lamborghini Arena 2026 isn’t just about the cars—it’s about the people who love them. From owners polishing their Aventadors at dawn to fans lining the fences for a glimpse of the Super Trofeo grid, it’s a weekend where passion takes tangible form.

In the words of Winkelmann, “Lamborghini Arena is where passion becomes experience.” And come May, Imola will once again echo with the unmistakable sound of twelve cylinders doing what they were born to do—celebrate life, loudly.

Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo: The V8-Powered Future of Sant’Agata’s One-Make Racer

Lamborghini’s racing arm, Squadra Corse, is moving fast—very fast. Barely weeks after unveiling the track-focused Temerario GT3, the Italians have pulled the covers off its one-make sibling, the Temerario Super Trofeo, slated to storm global circuits in 2027.

And while Lamborghini’s road cars are increasingly hybridized to meet tightening emissions standards, the race cars remain gloriously unfiltered. The Temerario Super Trofeo sticks to pure internal combustion—no electric motors, no batteries, just a twin-turbo V8 screaming behind the driver’s seat.

A New Era Without Losing the Old Fire

This new Super Trofeo replaces the Huracán-based model that’s been thrilling fans (and punishing tires) since 2014. Gone is the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 that became a hallmark of Lamborghini’s racing soundtrack. In its place: a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, derived from the same powerplant found in the road-going Temerario, but tuned for competition and capped at 650 horsepower per class regulations—down from the engine’s road-legal 800-hp potential.

The exhaust, developed by Capristo, promises to turn every full-throttle burst into a thunderclap. Meanwhile, KW supplies the adjustable suspension hardware, ensuring the new car can carve through corners with precision and fury.

Built for the Track, Not the Street

Unlike the road-going Temerario, which uses an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Super Trofeo sends its power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential gearbox—a mechanical, no-nonsense setup designed for the crucible of competition. Every gearshift will be an event, not a whisper.

The aerodynamic redesign is equally serious. Every panel has been reconsidered with one mission in mind: downforce. Expect an aggressive front splitter, reprofiled side intakes, and a massive rear wing—all tuned to keep the Temerario Super Trofeo glued to the tarmac under extreme G-loads. Drivers will also have access to a multi-level traction control system, offering fine-tuned adjustability for varying grip conditions.

Safety Meets Spectacle

Interior shots haven’t been released yet, but Lamborghini confirms that the cockpit meets the latest FIA safety standards, complete with an integrated roll cage and fire suppression system. This is, after all, a car designed for a one-make championship where amateurs and pros alike will push it to the edge.

The Legacy Continues

Since 2009, Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo series has become a proving ground for gentleman drivers and rising stars alike, evolving through the Gallardo and Huracán generations. The Temerario Super Trofeo is set to continue that legacy, bringing a fresh design language and a new powertrain philosophy without abandoning the visceral thrill that defines the brand’s racing DNA.

The car’s full competition debut is still a couple of seasons away, but one thing’s certain: when it hits the track in 2027, the noise—and the spectacle—will be anything but hybrid.
