A New Standard in Premium Mobility: LEPAS L8 at Gran Galà del Calcio 2025

On December 1, 2025, the prestigious Gran Galà del Calcio 2025 was not only a celebration of football excellence but also a significant milestone for the world of premium mobility. At this illustrious event, LEPAS, the new global brand of New Energy Vehicles (NEV) under the Chery Group, made a grand entrance as the main sponsor and exclusive automotive partner, unveiling its flagship model, the LEPAS L8.

A Celebration of Excellence

The Gran Galà del Calcio is Italy's highest football award ceremony, renowned for its celebrated footballers honoring their peers with awards. This year's event perfectly captured the essence of excellence that football embodies while providing top-tier entertainment for its attendees. It brought together elite athletes and personalities, all of whom exemplify the philosophy that elegance and power can coexist.

LEPAS's participation was emblematic of this alignment with their brand ethos, which promotes an elegant driving experience. Just as a skilled player dribbles past defenders with finesse, the LEPAS L8 offers a smooth and silent acceleration in urban environments, operating in pure electric mode at low speeds. And when rapid power is required, its electric motor and propulsion system combine to enable quick overtakes and agile maneuvers, akin to an explosive, elegant breakthrough on the pitch by top-tier footballers.

An Award for Excellence

Alongside showcasing their innovative vehicle, LEPAS presented the coveted "Allenatore dell’Anno 2025" award during the gala. This collaboration honored football's pursuit of perfection and grace while also reflecting LEPAS's commitment to professional excellence in mobility. Just as the finest players assert their presence on the field, LEPAS aims to redefine the premium mobility landscape with its philosophy of “Elegant Driving.”

Positioning itself as the preferred choice for a life of elegant mobility, LEPAS embodies the principle of "Drive Your Elegance.” The brand's name draws inspiration from the leopard, a symbol of speed, power, and elegance, which is reflected in its design philosophy known as Leopard Aesthetics. This aesthetic draws from nature, combined with the concepts of Leap and Passion, representing a vibrant energy and a progressive vision.

Impressive Design and Performance

The LEPAS L8 dazzled attendees with its nature-inspired colors, sleek silhouette, and vertical pupil headlights resembling the keen gaze of a leopard. With its powerful yet graceful design, it captures the essence of both speed and elegance. Built on Chery Group's innovative energy platform, the performance of the LEPAS L8 is poised to exceed Euro NCAP 2026's five-star safety rating, paralleling the excellence displayed by world-class athletes.

As LEPAS gears up for its official entry into the Italian market in 2026, it promises consumers in Europe a fresh offering that combines sophisticated design with intelligent technology, ultimately providing a new choice in premium mobility.

The Gran Galà del Calcio 2025 not only marked an important moment for football but also heralded the arrival of a new era in luxury mobility with the LEPAS L8, captivating the attention of distinguished guests and setting the stage for an elegant drive into the future.
