The Majlis at Lamborghini Returns: A Fusion of Art, Heritage and Automotive Mastery

A Ramadan celebration of cultural heritage and innovation, featuring live art on the Lamborghini Huracán Spyder EVO

Dubai, UAE – 25 March 2025 – Lamborghini Dubai proudly hosted the second edition of The Majlis at Lamborghini, once again transforming its Sheikh Zayed Road showroom into an immersive space where art, heritage and innovation converge. This year’s edition, curated in collaboration with the art gallery Firetti Contemporary, elevated the experience by bridging tradition with modernity, celebrating the intersection of high-performance automotive excellence and artistic expression.

At the heart of the event, renowned Lebanese artist Ihab Ahmad embarked on a live painting performance, reimagining a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder EVO as a canvas for creativity and storytelling. Over 90 hours, he meticulously infused the supercar with bold geometric motifs and symbolic patterns, using 8 Lamborghini paint colours to bring his vision to life. Across seven nights, guests gathered to witness his artistic process, capturing the essence of youth, joy, and speed—qualities that are synonymous with Lamborghini.

His work reflects the brand’s core values—Brave, Unexpected, and Authentic—while blending contemporary energy with artistic heritage. His vibrant colour choices, playful yet meticulously crafted, echoed the spirit of Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program, which offers clients over 400 bespoke colour options to personalise their supercars in line with their own individuality. Designed for those who seek exclusivity, Ad Personam allows every Lamborghini to become a unique expression of its owner’s personality—just as Ihab’s art transformed the Huracán into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The event culminated in a grand unveiling, revealing a creation that seamlessly blended heritage with innovation.
