Roger Dubuis has been a symbol of cutting edge design, innovative use of material and ground breaking movement. Exclusive but not totally un-approachable. Similar can be said of the marque from Sant'Agata Bolognese. It was in the making for a while and I'm so thrilled to finally see the launch of this collaboration!
It sounds like an astounding performance. On September 20th 2017, the legendary Lamborghini Headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese witnessed a world premiere reveal by Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini Squadra Corse. The start of a new run for two brands sharing the same values of breathtaking technology and daring customer experiences. The best of Italian aesthetic air and performance face the ultimate in Swiss precision and mechanical instruments. A high-powered partnership whose rst roar takes the form of a new calibre inspired by the Aventador S engine and the new ground- breaking Huracàn Super Trofeo EVO. The time has come to be blown away.
The Excalibur Aventador S is available in two interpretations epitomising the “Dare to be rare” concept through respective 88- and 8-piece limited editions. The former bears the inimitable Lamborghini “Giallo Orion” yellow paint code picked up in a number of design features, while the even more exclusive series comes in “Arancio Argos”.
The Duotor calibre is notably distinguished by engine strut bars revisiting the iconic Roger Dubuis Astral Skeleton principle, striking an astounding contrast with the rest of the movement, as if the engine ‘hood’ were transparent. Recalling the performance-enhancing longitudinal placement of Lamborghini engines tailored to the design of the sleek, streamlined cars, the double balance wheel is inclined at a similar angle, supported and highlighted by holders shaped like triangular wheel suspension assemblies.
