Despite only having published the first issue of its new customer magazine,

attributes of "extreme, uncompromising and Italian", the magazine was also
named as ' Best of Show ': the most important prize at the Mercury awards.

The Mercury Awards are one of the most important international prize
ceremonies in the area of public relations, public affairs and corporate
communications. The International Academy of Communication Arts and
Sciences (IACAS), which covers a variety of creative disciplines, has
presented the Mercury Awards annually since 1987. This year, a total of 940
submissions were made in 20 categories.
The Lamborghini Magazine is published biannually with some 172 pages and
an exclusive total circulation of 12,000 copies. Apart from the global English
edition, it is also published in Italian and German.
The underlying concept is to base each issue on a single theme, combined with
unexpected and bold changes in perspective. The Lamborghini brand and
product world is featured with sharp and provocative contrasts.
The award winning first issue was characterised by the single them "ME". The
second exclusive issue will be published at the end of May, bearing the title
"ON THE EDGE".
The Lamborghini Magazine is published by Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
and created together with the agency köckritzdörrich, based in Reutlingen,
