Lamborghini Revuelto sightings are extremely rare, as the first examples of the Raging Bull marque’s new, 1,001-horsepower flagship model won’t be delivered to U.S. customers until late 2023. The Revuelto’s rarity in the wild is what’s made this footage of the the hybrid supercar lapping the Nurburgring so compelling.
The YouTube channel CarSpyMedia released a viral compilation of clips showing the Revuelto taking on the hallowed test track—aka “Green Hell”—giving viewers a first impression of the car’s performance.
A majority of the Revuelto’s power comes from the lightest and most powerful V12 engine in Lamborghini history. The brand-new 6.5-liter unit produces a total of 814 horsepower and can rev up to 9,500 RPM.
The remaining output is developed in two motors mounted on the front axle and a third integrated into the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, bringing the grand total to a truly absurd 1,001 horsepower. Zero to 60 mph takes 2.5 seconds, 124 mph comes in under seven seconds, and it’ll hit 217 mph flat-out.
Road & Track points out that traffic on the Nurburgring prevented a true test of limits, but even when the track was clear and the Revuelto was pushing, the car looked incredibly composed as it charged down the notoriously difficult track’s racing line. The V12 also sounds punchy, but perhaps a little subdued given its pedigree.
As the Nurburgring footage began making the rounds, Lamborghini released a new video in which Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Federico Foschini explains why Lamborghini has pivoted to a hybrid platform.
“With this car we step into the world of electrification, but we want to do it, as Lamborghini, with a DNA that’s all about fun and performance. This car will be the interpretation of the electrification trend according to Lamborghini,” Foschini said.
“That’s why we created a new acronym, HPEV, that… means High Performance Electrified Vehicle, because for us everything is oriented towards fun to drive and performance. Obviously, in this case we’ll also have an element of CO2 reduction to also meet a sustainability trend.”
Foschini also gave extra background on the name “Revuelto.” Like the Aventador and Murcielago, the Lamborghini Revuelto is named after a fighting bull.
“‘Revuelto’ is the name of a bull that fought in 1880 and left the arena eight times during the fight, so it was a very wild bull. As this car will be once it hits the road.”
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had only one thing on my mind lately: vacation. I’m dreaming of sunshine, salty hair, and lounging poolside with a piña colada. And of course, I’m envisioning a chic wardrobe—more specifically, a chic designer wardrobe. (I’m only human.) When I went to the Net-a-Porter site and saw the editor-favorite retailer launched its vacation edit, which even features a few pieces exclusive to the site from designers including Nili Lotan and Tod’s, I had to stop everything I was doing to peruse. Maybe I’m being dramatic, but you would be too if you saw this gorgeous crochet dress from Chloé, these printed Pucci shorts, or any of the other stunning items in the edit. You get the point: I’m obsessed.
Naturally, I shared the edit with my co-workers, who are taking some time to get away to sunny destinations this season (even if it’s just a quick trip along the California coast), and they instantly fell in love with the selection, too. Keep scrolling to see what they’re fantasizing about packing in their suitcases.
“This summer, I’m planning a lot of trips down to my hometown of Laguna Beach. Instead of traveling too far, spending some time at my favorite childhood beaches is the perfect way to enjoy the season. Laguna is really laid-back and kind of quirky, which is why I’m planning on wearing simple swimsuits and accessorizing them with printed separates and statement bags. Net-a-Porter is always my go-to for both basics and trendy pieces, and it definitely delivered this season. Catch me on the trolly in Laguna wearing my new Pucci shorts and Loewe sunglasses all summer long.”
“I’ll be soaking up the California sun this season and indulging in fresh seafood during my stay at a true seaside gem: Santa Barbara. This charming city is the epitome of coastal chic, so I’m turning to Net-a-Porter’s vacation edit for some much-needed style inspiration. It has all the must-have designers from Chloé to Ancient Greek Sandals. Find me roaming the cute, beachy town in lightweight crochet ensembles (I’m envisioning this stunning Chloé maxi dress), deep-blue swimwear, and pretty, woven accessories.”
“I have a trip planned to Mexico this summer, so getaway ‘fits are definitely top of mind. When it comes to vacation style, I look for easy, effortless pieces—think matching sets and lots of linen. This summer, I’m investing in chic accessories (e.g. these ultra-cool Gucci square-framed sunnies and this luxe Khaite raffia bag) that elevate all my summer basics. In my opinion, you can never have too many.”
I’ll admit, I have a bad habit when it comes to shopping, sometimes I get so excited about trying new trends and putting my own spin on them that my wardrobe can end up looking like a pile of trends that don’t always stay in style for longer than a season or two.This summer I have two missions, to shop smarter, and to but pieces that are versatile and can be worn over and over again. Naturally, this journey towards timeless chic pieces that I’ll be styling all season long led me to a deep dive on Nordstrom’s site for the best basics I could find. I went in with a few things in mind: great shoes that can go from day to night, jeans that I’ll keep for years, and dresses that can go from the office to happy hour. As always Nordstrom had everything that I was looking for and more from all of my favorite brands like COS and Levi’s and styles that feel fresh and elevated.
While I may be focused on shopping smarter that doesn’t mean I’m willing to sacrifice on style, keep scrolling to see which chic Nordstrom basics I can’t wait to wear this summer.
Netflix has released the official trailer for the sixth season ofBlack Mirror,which reveals that the critically-lauded dystopian series will return on June 15.
The new season features a stacked cast of guest stars, including Salma Hayek Pinault, Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Rory Culkin, Rob Delaney, and Zazie Beetz.
The new trailer gives fans a first look at upcoming episodes, including one called “Joan Is Awful,” in which an average woman (Annie Murphy) discovers that a Netflix-style global streaming platform called Streamberry has launched a prestige drama based on her life, in which she is played by Hayek Pinault, who in real life is married to billionaire French fashion mogul François-Henri Pinault.
Black Mirror creator and co-showrunner Charlie Brooker told Netflix-owned fan site Tudum that the new season will offer plenty of surprises.
“I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people (and myself) or else what’s the point?” Brooker said. “It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself.”
The series first premiered in December 2011 on Channel 4 in the U.K., and was purchased by Netflix ahead of the third season in 2016.
Black Mirror‘s fifth season dropped in June 2019, following the premiere of its 2018 interactive feature film“Bandersnatch.” The series has snared 14 Emmy nominations and won eight Emmys, including outstanding TV movie for the “San Junipero,” “USS Callister” and “Bandersnatch” episodes in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Some things are worth a look into the rearview mirror, or turning back the clock, like a legendary watch that changed timekeeping for pilots.
The watch in question is the British Royal Air Force-approved IWC Mark 11, which proved the ideal source of inspiration for two new editions of the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX.
IWC pilot’s watches are plenty impressive in their own right, with designs that broke new ground and set technical benchmarks — the duo celebrates 75 years of innovation in fitting fashion.
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX debuted last year in colors like a bold blue, but it already boasts the sort of design pedigree that perfectly plays off IWC’s high-flying heritage (the Mark 11 was a groundbreaking innovation in the world of modern pilot’s watches, after all).
The Mark 11 broke new ground thanks to both its legibility via a luminescent, high-contrast dial, not to mention the 89 calibre movement designed to withstand magnetic fields (typically found through interaction with radar screens.
The lineup’s two newest models (one with a five-link stainless steel bracelet, the other featuring a black calfskin leather strap) each boast a silver-plated dial and a nicely sized 40mm stainless steel case.
The automatic IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre movement housed within features a five-day power reserve.
More impressive still is the fact that the front glass on the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX is designed to withstand extreme drops in cockpit pressure (IWC’s Top Gun watches also come to mind in that regard).
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX is billed as a “quintessential sports watch,” complete with 330 feet of water resistance.
The caseback of each watch is adorned with an old-school RAF engraving, plus its reference number and “Pilot’s Watch” notation.
As if those bells and whistles weren’t enough, there are plentiful opportunities to amp up the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX with an added dash of style, courtesy of its integrated, no-tools-needed EasX-CHANGE strap system (compatible with numerous colorful IWC options, of course).
Either IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX can be yours for $6,150 via IWC, but the utility and multitude of strap options surely deliver a watch that flies high in any collection.
Western style has recently cemented itself as more of an aesthetic than a trend. The new wave we’re seeing among the fashion crowd is an elevated take on Western-inspired pieces. People are loving the forever-favorite Dallas Boot by Khaite, denim shirting, and statement belt buckles.

I just spent the weekend in Houston, Texas, and the city has already had an effect on my personal style. I mean, I’m wearing my favorite cowboy boots as we speak, so I think that’s saying something. While it’s a very modern city, it still holds on to its Southern roots, and I saw cowboy boots just about everywhere. With how comfortable they are, it makes total sense. I’m filling up my denim drawers for the year and figuring out which styles I’ll be wearing the most. I had to take note of the five types of denim that everyone wore with cowboy boots in Texas to aid in my decision-making process, so explore my observations below.

Presented in a sculptured decanter with curves that recall Aston’s supercars, the 52-year-old Bowmore ARC-52 was first announced in 2022. Only 100 bottles were offered directly to select consumers for $75,000 each.
One of those bottles, however, just fetched £187,500 GBP—the equivalent of $231,800 at current exchange rates—at a Sotheby’s auction in London. That’s over three times over the already exorbitant $75,000 MSRP.
Granted, the winning bidder also gets “an exclusive experience at Bowmore Distillery and on Islay” and a drive in a “limited-edition Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition,” according to Sotheby’s. But make no mistake, it was the whisky itself that drove the price.
The never-to-be-repeated expression is a 42.3-percent ABV blend of 1962 and1968-vintage Bowmore whiskeys, one of which was aged in sherry-seasoned European oak and the other in ex-bourbon American oak Hogsheads.
The top half of the curvy decanter is also wrapped in unique carbon fiber material that was designed to mimic the layers formed by the ancient Japanese metalworking technique “Mokume-Gane, which produces a mixed-metal laminate with a natural, woodgrain-like aesthetic.
“Bowmore’s ARC-52 Mokume Edition is as much a masterpiece of design as it is an exclusive whisky,” said Jonny Fowle, head of whisky and spirits for Sotheby’s, North America and EMEA, in a statement.
“These two legacy British brands have produced something that is visually spectacular to house a totally unique liquid time capsule. Today’s most dedicated collectors aim not only to collect legendary bottles, but particularly those which are unique. The price achieved for the Mokume is testament to this.”
As Robb Report points out, all proceeds from the auction will go to The Bowmore Legacy, an organization dedicated to supporting the people of the town of Bowmore on Islay by supporting affordable housing and employment training.
The post no doubt stopped some IG feed scrolls, as Hunt sported a Chiefs crop top with a “00” jersey number and team-branded red bikini bottoms in a trio of tempting pics photographed poolside in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
“100 days until football is back!!” Hunt proclaimed as approving followers chimed in with heart-eyed emojis and the like.
“I’d leave the Bears for you,” one commenter replied, while another said, “That first zero should be a one!”
A third fixated on her workout routine, writing, “If you ever get a chance, show us more of what you’re doing there would love to keep expanding in elevating my ab routine.”
Hunt hasn’t specified an ab routine, but she has detailed a Bosu ball circuit that is “a staple of my fitness routine.”
“For this circuit, do 20-30 reps for each exercise (for the plank jacks, aim for 50). Repeat the circuit three times,” Hunt said in an Instagram video demonstrating push-ups, V-ups, side planks, crunches, planks, single-leg deadlifts, pulse squats, and Russian twists.
The hard work has paid off, if her recent slew of bikini photos in any indicator:
As someone with a deep, sometimes uneven complexion, I’ve tried (and often failed) to discover products that leave me glowing inside out. Without a doubt, as we head into summer, self-tanners will be promoted as the must-have product for glowing, gorgeous skin whether you have a plane ticket to sun-soaked destination or not. Unfortunately, those with darker skin tones are often left out of the conversations around tanning, as much of it is associated with the idea of deepening one’s natural skin. But what about tanning products and practices that even, brighten, and illuminate those with naturally deep skin tones?
Let’s start with a fact: tanning is for everyone. For individuals with darker complexions who desire a noticeably even more vibrant skin tone, self-tanners are a must-have product year-round. “For those with a deep skin tone, using a self-tanner enables them to eliminate dull skin and achieve a healthy, hydrated glow,” says celebrity spray-tan artist and founder of Dolce Glow, Isabel Alysa. Most recently, Alysa’s work can be found making headlines as the spray-tan artist behind Sofia Richie’s ultra-chic wedding look. Her brand, Dolce Glow, offers accessible self-tanning products for all skin tones, ethnicities, and body types.
Of course, the secret to creating and maintaining that super glowing, natural-finish depends on how your practices. When using a self-tanner, preparation and follow through lend to a perfect end result. “Skin preparation is the key to a great tan and even coverage,” Alysa explains. “Make sure to exfoliate your skin before applying self-tanner. This will help create a nice base to apply your tanner evenly over your body.” Another one of her biggest tips following the initial application of the self-tanner is to properly moisturize the dry areas of your skin (such as your elbows an your knees). Put more simply, the more moisturized your skin is, the longer your tan will remain.
Like any beauty product, ingredients play a huge role in the finished look. The next time your browsing the shelves of a drugstore or beauty supply store in hopes of discovering your new got-to self-tanning product, take a quick look at what makes up the formula. DHA, for example, is a very dehydrating ingredient that is popular in self-tanners as it is necessary for the skin to tan. “You want to make sure you pair it with aloe vera, jojoba seed oil, vitamin E, and sodium hyaluronate,” says Alysa. Now that you know the biggest tips and tricks behind achieving your self-tan, why not shop a few of our favorites? Keep scrolling to discover more self-tanners that have caught our eye.
