Monterey Car Week 2023 was nothing short of spectacular, and it reached its electrifying climax with Lamborghini‘s triumphant presence at the 72nd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. This event wasn’t just about showcasing Lamborghini’s rich heritage; it was about ushering in a new era of performance, luxury, and sustainability. The star of the show? The breathtaking Lamborghini Lanzador, a pure-electric fourth-model concept that left enthusiasts and experts alike in awe.
A Paradigm Shift in Carmaking
Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, aptly captured the significance of this moment: “Presenting the fully-electric Lamborghini Lanzador concept car during Monterey Car Week represents an important milestone in our company’s history and shapes our path towards decarbonization and electrification.” It’s a bold step toward a more sustainable future, without compromising Lamborghini’s commitment to performance and luxury.
The Lanzador concept car redefines Lamborghini’s offerings, creating a new segment for the brand. It’s an Ultra GT with high ground clearance and 2+2 seating, boasting clear, purist, and technical design forms. What sets it apart is its blend of Lamborghini’s signature performance with an unprecedented on-board experience. This is not just a supercar; it’s a daily driver that makes every commute an adventure.
60 Years of Lamborghini Excellence
As part of Lamborghini’s 60th-anniversary celebrations, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance dedicated a class to showcase the brand’s rich history. The class featured an impressive array of historic Lamborghinis, including classics, former show cars, and special production vehicles. This remarkable display was a testament to Lamborghini’s enduring legacy and the brand’s ability to captivate generations of car enthusiasts.
Honorary Judges and Experts

Stephan Winkelmann and Mitja Borkert, Automobili Lamborghini’s Head of Design, both served as Honorary Judges during the event ceremonies. Their expertise and passion for Lamborghini added a special touch to an already prestigious occasion.
The Lamborghini Lounge Monterey
But Lamborghini’s presence extended beyond the Concours d’Elegance. At the Lamborghini Lounge Monterey, VIP guests were treated to an exclusive brand experience in a private villa. Set against the backdrop of the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links, this luxurious setting was the perfect backdrop for showcasing the all-electric Lamborghini Lanzador concept car.
This visionary concept challenges the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of electric vehicles. It offers a tantalizing glimpse of Lamborghini’s vision for a purely electric fourth-series production model, pushing the limits of performance and luxury.
Celebrating History and Embracing the Future
In addition to the Lanzador, the Lounge Monterey displayed a curated selection of five historic V12 models, a testament to Lamborghini’s rich heritage. These iconic cars included the 400 GT, Miura S, Countach 25th anniversary, Diablo, and the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce.
The modern Lamborghini lineup was also on full display, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation and performance. From the record-breaking Urus Performante to the exhilarating Huracán STO and the adventurous Huracán Sterrato, Lamborghini’s current offerings continue to set new standards.
Lamborghini understands that its customers seek exclusivity and personalization.
That’s why the Lamborghini Lounge Monterey featured two dedicated Ad Personam studios where customers could design their dream Lamborghini. With state-of-the-art virtual configuration programs and a vast array of options, Lamborghini enthusiasts could create a car as unique as their own fingerprint.
Electric Performance on Two Wheels
The Lamborghini Lounge also showcased the RaceMax Boost LTD x Automobili Lamborghini, a limited-edition 3T electric bike inspired by the Lamborghini Lanzador. Designed in collaboration with Lamborghini Centro Stile, this bike captures the essence of automotive brilliance on two wheels, delivering luxury performance for the modern adventurer. With only 30 pieces available worldwide, it’s a collector’s dream.
Monterey Car Week 2023 was a showcase of Lamborghini’s enduring excellence, a celebration of its rich history, and a bold statement about the brand’s electric future. With the Lanzador leading the charge, Lamborghini proves that it’s not just keeping pace with change – it’s setting the pace for the future of automotive innovation.
