THE Ultimate Drive

Debut of a special edition Super SUV reserved for owners of the track hypercar.

Lamborghini introduces the Urus Performante Special Edition, dedicated to the Essenza SCV12 and reserved exclusively for owners of the track-only hypercar produced in just 40 units. The creation of the limited-edition Super SUV was overseen by Lamborghini’s Ad Personam department, allowing each Essenza SCV12 customer to uniquely configure their own example of the Urus Performante, featuring a dedicated design and racing-inspired details for maximum sportiness.

The exclusive character of this Urus Special Edition is highlighted by the extensive use of exposed carbon fiber elements with a glossy or matte finish, echoing the treatment of the bodywork chosen by the customer: not only the carbon fiber engine hood and roof is in carbon fiber, but also the rocker covers, mirrors, and the carbon fiber frame with the Lamborghini logo set between the rear light clusters.

To underscore the vehicle’s track-oriented aptitude, Lamborghini’s Centro Stile designers created a dedicated Ad Personam livery with color combinations tailored to specific customer requests, with the paintwork of each unit undertaken in Lamborghini’s in-house paint shop. Along with a two-tone color scheme, originating from the combination of all the carbon fiber elements that stand out on the body, the lower part of the car is black, embellished with a contrasting color line that is repeated on the roof arch, further highlighting the car’s silhouette. The body colors and livery were chosen exclusively with each customer and echo those of their Essenza SCV12 cars, including the distinctive number painted on the doors. Each example is also equipped with 23” high gloss black wheels and black calipers by default, though customers can freely select the type and colors of wheels and calipers from those available.

“The Lamborghini Urus SC-V12 Edition is the most expressive and detailed livery we have ever created” commented Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini Head of Design. “It is exclusively linked and designed personally for each of the 40 customers of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12. The livery of the Urus SCV12 is painted black in the lower part to deliver even sportier proportions on the Urus, and the exterior color is directly linked with the exclusive color of the Essenza SC-V12, with a colored pinstripe connecting the front, side and rear graphically. The result is a stormy, unique and colorful limited series of Urus.”

The cabin features exclusive Nero Cosmus (black) Alcantara upholstery with leather details, carbon fiber decorations with a choice of glossy or matte finish, black anodized aluminum elements, and a Dark Package except for the contrasting red door handles. The carbon fiber details also include a decorative element on the passenger side of the dashboard and the kick plates with the Essenza SCV12 logo and silhouette. To make the trim even more unique, two celebratory carbon fiber plaques are included in the passenger compartment, one with the Lamborghini 60th Anniversary logo, and the other with the vehicle number or the customer’s name.

Urus Performante is the sportiest and most high-performance version of Lamborghini’s Super SUV range. Thanks to its twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 666 CV of power and 850 Nm of maximum torque, the excellent weight-to-power ratio and optimized aerodynamics, the Performante accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 306 km/h. These performance features enabled the Urus Performante to set a record in the production SUV category on the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course, crossing the finish line at an altitude of 4,302 meters in 10:32.064, beating the previous time by more than 17 seconds.

Unveiled in July 2020, the Essenza SCV12 was designed for track-only use, with engineering solutions derived from racing. Equipped with the naturally

“The Lamborghini Urus SC-V12 Edition is the most expressive and detailed livery we have ever created.”

aspirated V12 engine used in the Aventador, it can deliver more than 830 CV, in part due to the contribution of the dynamic supercharging at high speeds. The power is handled by a six-speed load-bearing gearbox placed transversely on the rear axle and combined with rear-wheel drive, to ensure compactness, structural continuity, and greater torsional stiffness. The weight-to-power ratio of 1.66 kg/CV is exceptional, achieved thanks to the new-generation carbon fiber monocoque chassis that combines lightness with the safety standards of the FIA regulations for prototypes.

In the Limelight

For over a century The Beverly Hills Hotel has been the spot for Hollywood’s brightest lights, the ultimate beacon of glamour. Welcome to the legacy.

This is no ordinary hotel. Seductively hidden amongst 80-year-old palm trees and banana leaves, The Beverly Hills Hotel had her name long before the city even existed. She holds a timeless appeal, as legendary as the Hollywood history that surrounds it. Today, it remains the place to see and be seen, where beautiful rooms, suites and individual bungalows pay homage to the stellar heritage of this legendary hotel, and a trio of worldclass restaurants represents the life and soul of LA dining.

Memorable experiences are created by our warm and professional employees, who welcome every guest into the ‘Pink Palace’ family. With superlative service, a private setting in the heart of a city, and a recent faithful restoration, the hotel is more captivating than ever.

HISTORY

This Beverly Hills Hotel is an iconic LA hideaway, famous for playing host to Hollywood royalty over the years. From the deals made in the Polo Lounge to private parties in the bungalows, this is Tinseltown’s original playground.

Built by Margaret Anderson in 1912, The Beverly Hills Hotel had her name before the city even existed. Beverly Hills was literally built around the blush façade of the hotel, originally created as a place for people to stay when looking at property in the area. Anderson famously declared, “Guests are entitled to the best of everything, regardless of cost!”

Over the years, the hotel became the favoured choice for Hollywood stars, who met, partied and mingled in the Polo Lounge and relished in the privacy of its secluded bungalows. If the walls could talk, just imagine the stories they would tell.

DÉCOR

With its familiar pink façade, green and white stripes, banana-leaf wallpaper and iconic logo, you could only be at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Our famous red carpet awaits every guest on arrival, but the signature aesthetic of the hotel can be found well beyond our fabled entrance. Interiors offer an unforgettable blend of Golden Age glamour and modern luxury, paying homage to a remarkable Hollywood legacy.

If one decorative feature could epitomize the hotel, it would have to be our Martinique® banana leaf wallpaper, selected for the hotel by famed designer Don Loper in 1949. It’s achieved its own iconic status in the design world, starred in several films and is said to be one the most recognisable wallpapers in the world. We have 5.5 miles of it running throughout the hotel!

ROOMS AND SUITES

210 rooms and suites, including 23 one-of-a-kind bungalows. Rooms and suites pay homage to the legacy of the hotel, but with a luxuriously modern edge. Bright, spacious rooms and suites in the main building look out across Beverly Hills, some with private patios surrounded by lush gardens.

Interiors showcase furnishings with luxurious materials such as soft leather and rich mohair in shades of cream and taupe, accented with the hotel’s signature pink and green colours. Walnut, ebonised oak and parchment lacquered furniture add depth to each room’s ambience while antique bronze lighting fixtures cast an inviting light.

Hidden amongst the gardens, the 23 bungalows offer the true Hollywood experience, each individually designed with their own unique personalities. Five Legendary Bungalows are inspired by the famous guests to have called them home, including Howard Hughes, Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich.

Each is designed to reflect this star-studded past, with a secluded setting and spacious layout including a private entrance, living room and dining room in granite and marble.

Suites of special interest include the historic Paul R. Williams Suite, designed by and named for the architect who was responsible for a remodel of the hotel in the 1940s, and re-imagined it into the iconic address it is today. This suite has a large patio for entertaining and a cool, 1950s vibe. Guests also love to hide away in the Presidential Suite, a sprawling 232m2/2,500ft2 space with a spacious living room and large balcony overlooking Beverly Hills. This truly beautiful suite also has a den, dining room and full kitchen for entertaining, in addition to a luxurious marble bathroom and powder room.

“She holds a timeless appeal, as legendary as the Hollywood history that surrounds it. Today, it remains the place to see and be seen, where beautiful rooms, suites and individual bungalows pay homage to the stellar heritage of this legendary hotel.”

DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT Polo Lounge

Known as Hollywood’s commissary and the epicentre of power dining in LA, the Polo Lounge has been the favourite spot for generations of stars and Hollywood deal-makers. Guests can enjoy chef Michael Santoro’s fresh Californian cuisine in the famous dining room or on the outdoor terrace, equally wonderful for a sunny breakfast or a twinkling night of soft music and familiar faces. Weekly live music completes the appeal.

Fountain Coffee Room

For casual dining, the 19-seat Fountain Coffee Room is the iconic diner, which serves milkshakes, burgers and pancakes, alongside a glorious helping of 1950s nostalgia. For dessert, be tempted by homemade ice creams, freshly-baked pastries and pies.

The Cabana Cafe

Poolside dining comes in the form of The Cabana Cafe, whose fresh, casual dining and picture-perfect setting makes it a popular spot for a relaxed meal in the LA sunshine, while a view of the pool sparkles with sheer pleasure. The café serves all-day breakfast, fresh salads, wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches, burgers and smoothies.

The Beverly Hills Hotel Spa

To enjoy the finest holistic wellness experience, take to the newly-restored spa. Inspired by a tranquil vision of a glorious oasis within an oasis, it draws on the exquisite beauty of its leafy surroundings. The spa features four treatment rooms for body and facial therapies and one duet suite that can accommodate two guests at the same time. Also new to the spa is a nail suite, including two pedicure chairs and a manicure area featuring natural light from the citrus garden.

GROUNDS

The hotel is surrounded by 12 acres of tropical gardens and exotic flowers. Beyond this, the iconic LA palm trees stand tall against the brilliant blue sky. Guests are in the centre of this famous city, but the view is fresh and green and the air crackles with possibility.

More than 180 plants, including palm trees, shrubs, roses, ferns and vines make up the lush gardens surrounding the hotel, creating a private corner of paradise in the heart of Beverly Hills. Our team of gardeners lovingly care for the grounds, keeping them looking their best all year round. At the heart of it all, the famous pool offers an experience that shimmers with history, glamour and sheer good fun.
