Lamborghini Steals the Spotlight
The week opened with an electrifying reveal from Lamborghini, the Fenomeno, an ultra exclusive supercar built on the Revuelto hybrid platform. Delivering a staggering 1,001 horsepower from its V12 hybrid powertrain, the Fenomeno pushes the brand’s design language into bold new territory.

Acura Charts a Bold Electric Future
Acura made waves with the unveiling of the RSX Prototype, a sleek fastback-style EV that represents the next step in the brand’s evolution. Built on Acura’s own EV platform and equipped with their adaptive ASIMO OS, the RSX delivers a personalized, tech-forward driving experience. Slated for production in late 2026, it blends Acura’s performance heritage with the sleek sophistication of modern electric luxury vehicles.
Bentley Bridges Heritage and Innovation
Bentley offered a stunning blend of old and new, displaying its EXP 15 concept alongside heritage icons like the 1930 Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman and the Mark V Corniche. This side by side presentation showcased the brand’s mastery of both timeless craftsmanship and forward thinking innovation, reinforcing its vision for the future while honoring more than a century of excellence.
Auction Houses Set the Stage for Record Sales
RM Sotheby’s is set to wow bidders with highlights including a 1993 Ferrari F40 LM, a rare RUF CTR1 Lightweight “Redbird,” and a 1968 Alfa Romeo T33/2 Daytona. Meanwhile, Gooding & Company is offering the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider Competizione, an all alloy rarity expected to surpass $20 million, making it one of the most valuable cars to hit the block this year.
A Whimsical Arrival: Modern Meyers Manx?
In a delightful twist, an orange dune buggy, believed to be a modern interpretation of the legendary Meyers Manx, was spotted arriving under wraps. With retro styling cues and possible modern performance updates, it could offer a refreshing, playful counterpoint to the week’s lineup of high performance hypercars.
