The recently concluded Prestige Ball 2024 saw a ballroom packed with innovators, tastemakers and society luminaries, all decked out in their particular interpretation of the night's dress code, Into the Wow.

But amid the sartorial brilliance of the flowing gowns and glittering statement pieces of the friends of Prestige that night emerged an assertive silhouette unmistakable for anything except a Lamborghini.

It was the Raging Bull's latest expression of automaking excellence and a herald for the Italian marque's new age of electrified automobiles.

Its name was Revuelto, referring both to a famous Spanish fighting bull and the Castillian word for mixed-up - just like the car's hybridised powertrain, which sees a naturally aspirated V12 engine married with three additional electric motors for an astounding 1,001 bhp.

This makes it the most powerful production car ever in the marque's portfolio and for that matter, the rest of the market.

Therefore, the supercar's appearance at the event was a fitting one. The evening was themed Beyond The Horizon, which is to say it was a celebration of innovations, breakthroughs, dynamism and of course, luxury at the next level - all values embodied by the Revuelto and its esteemed Italian manufacturer.
