The Story
Tempesta is the Bamborgini you would actually drive from Modena to Montenegro. A front-engined GT with rear seats that exist, a trunk that holds two weekend bags, and a cabin quiet enough to hear the leather breathe.
The Tempesta was built to prove a thesis: that a grand tourer can be uncompromisingly luxurious without becoming soft. Its chassis is a hydroformed aluminium space frame, its engine a twin-turbo V8 tuned for mid-range torque rather than peak power. Noise dampening is a craft here — the firewall alone carries seventeen layers of acoustic composite. And yet, at 7,000 rpm, the Tempesta remembers what it is.

Notes from the atelier
Three decisions that define the Tempesta.
01
Atelier cabin
Seats hand-upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather. Dashboard cross-stitched in a thread specified by the client. Ashwood, walnut, or smoked oak inlays.
02
Grand touring range
90-litre tank, adaptive cruise across three continental highway modes, and a boot calibrated to precisely fit two Bamborgini-commissioned leather duffels.
03
Acoustic monocoque
Seventeen composite layers in the firewall and bulkhead. At 160 km/h, the Tempesta cabin is quieter than a first-class rail cabin at rest.
