Under the Radar: (SPECIALS) On the Go with the “Raging Bull” – Automobili Lamborghini’s Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann on its new Temerario model and how sustainability will turbocharge the firm’s growth.

Today we’re going full throttle into the world of performance by speaking to a super car brand known for its “Raging Bull” logo – and that is Automobili Lamborghini. If you’re a car enthusiast, you might have heard of the origin story of how Automobili Lamborghini was founded in 1963, as a result of an unpleasant exchange between two Italian car enthusiasts.   There are multiple variations of the story going around, but here’s the gist of it all. Well, Lamborghini’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, was a successful tractor manufacturer in the 1960s, and he was supposedly dissatisfied with a clutch problem with his sports car.  Unhappy with the situation, Lamborghini paid a visit to its manufacturer, where his complaints were said to be dismissed with what some reports described as a “stinging” response.  Legend has it that it was exactly this comment from the manufacturer that gave Lamborghini the resolve to build a better sports car. Soon, the Lamborghini 350 GT emerged in 1964, and with it, a “Raging Bull” that aims to trump the “Prancing Horse” (if you get the hint).  That was in the 1960s. Over six decades had passed, and today, Automobili Lamborghini produces some of the most iconic and coveted super sports cars in the world.  In the first half of 2025, the firm delivered 5,681 cars – the highest-ever result for a first half, and a 2 per cent year on year increase from the figure seen in 2024.  But beyond the numbers, it is also an exciting time for Automobili Lamborghini, as the company positions itself for a sustainable future with a fully hybrid fleet. In fact, the CEO and Chairman of Automobili Lamborghini is right here in Singapore to promote the firm’s new Temerario, its second model in the Lamborghini High Performance Electric Vehicle range.  But what should we know about the new model, and how far is sustainability the key in turbocharging the “Raging Bull”? And what role will Asia and Singapore play in Automobili Lamborghini’s next bound of growth? On this “On the Go” Special of Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Stephan Winkelmann, CEO and Chairman, Automobili Lamborghini at the launch of Lamborghini’s latest twin turbo V8 high performance electrified vehicle held within Aviation Hub at Seletar Aerospace View in Singapore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
