The Urus SE now boasts a revamped design, enhanced aerodynamics, advanced technology, and an 800 CV hybrid powertrain—surpassing the Urus S in terms of comfort, performance and driving pleasure. With its dual power sources—thermal and electric—the Urus SE achieves its highest-ever torque and power values, securing its position as a standout in its category while delivering an 80 per cent reduction in emissions. Emphasising its dynamic form, the design accentuates the vehicle’s sportiness and muscularity. Notable design updates include a new hood with a floating structure and redesigned headlight clusters with matrix LED technology inspired by the tail of the Lamborghini brand’s bull.

Take A Weeknight Break With A Gin Or Two At The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur
Lind & Lime Gin has arrived in Malaysia and is residing at The RC Bar in The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur. It is forged from the talent, heritage and industry of Edinburgh and its historic distilling district of Leith. Lind & Lime Gin is stored in a vintage design glass bottle that can double as a fancy glass water bottle or an art deco item in your home. At the launch of Lind & Lime Gin at The RC Bar, four cocktails—accompanied by a cheese platter—were served and specially crafted by Mixologist Karl Too. First was A Ritzy Gimlet, a beautiful ocean blue cocktail in a martini glass with fresh lime juice and blue curacao, for the sweet tooth drinker. Next was the Cucumber-Rose Lind Spirit, which consists of fresh lemon juice and dried rose petals, for those who prefer something less sweet. But the highlight goes to The French 75, where Lind & Lime Gin is blended with fresh lemon juice, perfect for those who love citrusy cocktails. Finally, there is the timeless The Lind and Lime Tonic. All cocktails are priced at RM80, while a bottle of Lind & Lime Gin goes for RM980. Head over to The RC Bar for their Ritzy Gin Hour, every Thursday from 6pm to 11pm.
