Tonino Lamborghini Energy Drink USA
The golden Tonino Lamborghini Energy Drink, released in the USA in 2010. I also compared it to the Tonino Lamborghini Energy Drink that was released in Japan 10 years later.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.
Chemical-Heavy Classic Flavor
When poured into a glass, the classic color appears, and the unmistakable chemical aroma follows, typical of the classic energy drink scent.
The taste is a stronger, more chemical bitterness than the Japanese version, embodying the classic chemical flavor. Due to 10 years of aging, the sweetness has become heavier, but the taste of the 2010 USA version and the 2020 Japan version is nearly identical.
The sharp acidity, characteristic of Red Bull, serves as the base flavor, with a chemical flavor added. While the taste is quite similar to Red Bull, offering no novelty, it’s still a classic energy drink taste that isn’t cheap, so it works in its own right.
Let’s compare the Japanese and American versions.
The color of the American version is slightly darker, likely due to aging. Yellow energy drink colors tend to darken over a few years. If fresh, the two would be nearly indistinguishable.
Both versions have the same base Red Bull-like flavor and chemical bitterness. It seems that the Tonino Lamborghini energy drink isn’t aiming for a special taste but rather a straightforward, recognizable energy drink flavor.
Tonino Lamborghini Energy Drink (USA Version) Energy Ingredients
Contains 80mg of caffeine, 100mg of taurine, 50mg of inositol, and 60mg of glucuronolactone. The ingredient profile is standard, though the low taurine content is noticeable.
Tonino Lamborghini Energy Drink (USA Version) Design
The gold can with the red Lamborghini logo creates an aura of luxury and affluence. It feels less like a high-end energy drink and more like one of Lamborghini's novelty products made as part of their brand expansion.
The black Japanese version and the gold American version of Lamborghini.
Like the later-released Japanese version, the American version had limited availability and wasn’t widely available across all U.S. stores, making it one of the energy drinks that disappeared without generating much of a buzz.
