How silly. I don't see what that cross merchandising would do for either brand.
You can't afford a Lambo Veneno, so get this..
For the audio gear heads.

Maggiori informazioni: Automobili Lamborghini and Technics present the direct drive turntable system roxy54- Perhaps it's reserved for the top 2% of the crowd that buys one of these?
tomic601- I believe Nigel would insist on Jaguar or Aston Martin!

Yeah this seems more than a bit silly — an ultra-premium, exotic sports car manufacturer putting their name on a budget turntable??? Thankfully for Lamborghini their car sales don’t rely at all on their obviously clueless marketing department. They shoulda just put out the album that at least has the useful benefit of recording what their glorious combustion engines sounded like for posterity and left it at that. IMO they should be spending all their available time figuring out how they’re gonna continue to successfully compete in a battery-powered world where all the snarl and allure of their exotic engines is completely neutered and where family sedans and sub $50k cars can easily match their acceleration. Wealthy car aficionados and collectors will obviously still buy them for their looks, scarcity, and prestige, but a serious leg has been chopped out from beneath their very expensive stool/business model and I don’t envy nearly as as much their future. Anybody gonna wanna buy an album of the sound of Lambo’s future battery-powered cars? Ugh. Progress do come at a price sometimes. |
@lewm-or a Periscopo Countach. Al Burtoni (RIP) had fully restored one for 95k back in the mid-'90s. I went to look at it. I couldn't really fit into it, the fit and finish was like a kit car. The Miura was probably the most stunning--the early non-SVs went for pocket change back in the '90s. I ran with somebody who had a beautiful 400 in green, with green tinted windows. One of the oddballs was a bowling ball sparkle painted Espada that was part of the collection of the Principality of Monaco, with a glass sunroof that covered front and back. It was used for tours on behalf of the royal family. I only had one Lambo (was mainly a F-car guy). But it was the last run of the Diablo, after Audi took over the marque- the 6 liter. Much better fit and finish, I think the rear tires were 335s. Not exactly a tossable car in the twisties, but man, that engine! Was quite exotic for the money. I drove all these cars, none were garage queens. That was an interesting period in my life. |
Many years ago, needless to say, I test drove a Miura that was for sale. It was an S version with 12,000 miles, and the price was $17,500!!!!! At high speed, the front end felt floaty, and that kind of frightened me. Everything else about the car was perfect. And I very stupidly declined the opportunity, just because I was frightened of that handling characteristic which is probably characteristic of the car except maybe for the SV version, where they added a much needed front spoiler. Certainly that was one of the worst car decisions I ever made. I still worship the looks of the Miura. |
