The brand from Sant’Agata Bolognese used social media to present a fictional palette of shades inspired by Italian symbols, in a humorous campaign to celebrate April 1st.
Lamborghini cars took advantage of April 1, 2026 to poke fun at his fans worldwide through a humorous communication campaign about a purported new series of colors inspired by his native Italy.
Published on the brand’s official social media channels, the initiative presented fictional shades with names that referred to characteristic elements of Italian culture. Among them were Rosso Grappolo, associated with red wine, Giallo Granita, inspired by typical summer drinks, Verde Campo d’Ulivo, with reference to olive oil, and Bianco Trullo, linked to the traditional white buildings of the region of Puglia.

For several hours, the prank surprised many enthusiasts. Later, Lamborghini himself made it clear that it was all just a special April 1 promotion, created to make people smile and to ironically pay tribute to the Italian territory where the super sports car manufacturer is based.
According to the company, the campaign was designed to highlight two important pillars of its identity. The first is the strong connection to Italy and to Sant’Agata Bolognese, the city where Lamborghini’s headquarters are located and which represents a symbol of Italian industrial excellence. The second is the central role of color in the personalization universe of the brand’s models.
Lamborghini emphasized that the choice of colors was not accidental, but a direct reference to the Italian cultural and visual heritage. At the same time, the initiative also strengthened the importance of personalization for the company’s customers. According to the manufacturer, 94% of vehicles sold receive some form of individual configuration, and buyers can choose from around 400 different shades.
Through the Ad Personam program, owners have the opportunity to customize several elements of the car, with color being one of the most requested aspects. Although the palette is fictional, it served precisely to highlight Lamborghini’s ability to combine creativity, exclusivity and visual identity in its models.
Although the news was just an April Fool’s joke, the initiative also served as a celebration of the brand’s ties to its area of origin and the creative freedom that characterizes the personalization universe of cars produced in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
