High in the French Alps, where altitude sharpens perspective and performance is tested by nature itself, Automobili Lamborghini staged the third European edition of #SheDrivesaLambo. Returning to Courchevel in December 2025, the two-day experience brought together an international group of women leaders, creatives, engineers, and explorers for an immersive encounter with performance, purpose, and possibility. Hosted at Le K2 Palace, the event unfolded against the vast openness of Les Trois Vallées, a setting chosen as much for symbolism as spectacle.
This year’s theme, Horizon, set the tone for the experience. In Lamborghini terms, performance has always meant more than speed figures or horsepower. Here, it was positioned as clarity of vision, intention in movement, and the confidence to go further. The alpine environment amplified that message. Snow, shifting light, and vertiginous roads created a natural metaphor for leadership under pressure.
At the heart of the experience was the Lamborghini Temerario, the brand’s latest high-performance hybrid super sports car. Powered by a new twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, it delivers more than 920 CV, showcasing Lamborghini’s approach to electrification as an enhancer rather than a compromise. Over the course of the drive, participants navigated flowing mountain passes, tight switchbacks, and high altitude straights, experiencing first-hand how precision engineering translates into confidence behind the wheel. A dedicated ice track drifting session followed, led by Lamborghini’s professional drivers, where hybrid technology and a bespoke drift mode revealed their value in control, responsiveness, and pure enjoyment even on low-grip snow.
The choice of Courchevel was deliberate. One of the world’s most prestigious alpine destinations, the resort reflects both elevation and excellence. For this edition, A&E’s Editor in Chief, Lara Mansour, joined the event in Courchevel, taking part in the on-road drives, ice drifting sessions, and the wider programme of discussions and experiences. Her presence underscored the initiative’s connection to culture, storytelling, and the role of women in shaping how performance and leadership are represented across industries.
Beyond driving, #SheDrivesaLambo is designed as a platform for dialogue. Guests were invited into conversations with women who embody resilience and innovation in very different fields. Daniela De Vivo, Project Leader of Whole Vehicle Development at Lamborghini, spoke candidly about her journey in a male-dominated sector. She addressed the reality of isolation, the challenge of earning credibility, and the importance of transforming obstacles into opportunities. Her message was grounded and forward-looking: representation matters, not as a statement, but as a pathway for the next generation of women engineers.
Alongside her was Anja Blacha, a record-breaking extreme expedition explorer whose achievements include summiting K2 without supplemental oxygen and completing a solo, unsupported expedition to the South Pole. Her perspective brought a different dimension to the idea of performance. Where automotive engineering speaks in data and design, Blacha spoke of mental endurance, preparation, and the discipline required to move forward when conditions turn hostile. Together, the dialogues reinforced the idea that leadership is multifaceted, shaped by context but anchored in clarity and conviction.
Hospitality played a central role in the experience. Le K2 Palace, with its Himalayan-inspired interiors, bespoke service, and panoramic views, became more than a base. It was an extension of Lamborghini’s values of craftsmanship and attention to detail. From curated dining moments to informal conversations by the fire, the setting encouraged connection, reflection, and exchange. Every element was considered, mirroring the brand’s approach to design and engineering.
As Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, noted during the event, the initiative reflects a broader commitment to diversity and inclusivity. Lamborghini, he emphasised, is not only about power and luxury, but about redefining expectations and pushing boundaries. #SheDrivesaLambo positions the brand alongside women who embody those same qualities: bold, uncompromising, and forward-looking.
In its third European edition, #SheDrivesaLambo has evolved into a narrative platform that places women at the centre of performance, innovation, and cultural influence. Against the snow-covered peaks of Courchevel, the message was clear: true performance is not only about how fast you go, but about how far your vision extends, and whom you bring with you as you move toward the horizon.
