CAVËN HOMMAGE 26: Giugiaro reimagines the Gallardo

CAVËN HOMMAGE 26: returning to the original design

Unveiled on 31 October 2026 at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, the CAVËN HOMMAGE 26 offers a fresh interpretation of the Lamborghini Gallardo. Fabrizio Giugiaro and GFG Style revisit the supercar through an independent project, with production planned to be limited to just 25 examples. The HOMMAGE 26 opens CAVËN Atelier’s Designer Series. Its principle is to give a car’s designer the opportunity to revisit their own work several decades after its creation. For this first chapter, Fabrizio Giugiaro returns to his 1998 proposal, which formed the starting point of the Gallardo project. The appeal lies in this continuity between the designer and his creation: an alternative evolution of the design, developed using GFG Style’s current capabilities.

Carbon-fibre bodywork and distinctive details

The proportions remain familiar, but the exterior surfaces have been extensively redesigned in carbon fibre. The silhouette retains a connection to the donor car while establishing its own identity. Distinctive features include retractable headlights, active aerodynamic elements and an opening rear window. Inside, the seats and instrument presentation have also been reworked.

Power comes from a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V10 developed by Italtecnica. Announced outputs reach 540 PS for the GT and 560 PS for the Performance, with a maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm. The manual gearbox takes centre stage in this offering for enthusiasts of mechanical driving involvement. Suspension with Comfort and Sport modes, upgraded brakes and 20-inch wheels complete the announced specification, which remains subject to change during development.
