Pictures from our Owners’ Dinner and Launch of the LP560-4 Final Edition

The next 12 months will be a very exciting time to be a part of the Lamborghini family. 2013 celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the world’s most extreme brand. There will be celebrations in the US and at the factory. This is also includes the celebration of the final year of Lamborghini’s most successful model – The Gallardo. We just launched the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Final Edition and we had a dinner to celebrate it. Here are a few pictures.

Let’s count the versions of the Lamborghini Gallardo

The Gallardo has been the most successful car ever for the Lamborghini brand. As we enter the final year of the great car, we can reflect back on its history and see how it has developed over the years. The car has been criticized at times for having too many special editions but, hey, we still don’t hold a candle to the 911s.  There have been a lot of changes and special editions/option packages that have been released. This should help you get a better grasp of what the car has become over the 9 model years.

Video of the Blu Cepheus 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

One of the most famous cars that we have ever sold just came through here again. It is a 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 that is painted in a very unique color of blue called Blu Cepheus. This was a color used by Lamborghini to show off their Ad Personam capabilities at the 2008 New York Auto Show. We sold an LP640 Roadster in Blu Cepheus to Young Jeezy years ago and that inspired the original owner of this car to order the car in this color. He later upgraded the car to an LP570-4 Superleggera look with a new front bumper, rear bumper and diffuser, side skirts, mirrors, and fixed carbon fiber rear wing. The car looks phenomenal. Here are some pictures of it - http://edbolian.com/?p=2407. In the recent movie, The Dictator, they actually wrapped 4 Murcielagos in this color. Here are some other pictures of the car on a mountain run with us - http://edbolian.com/?p=3266.

Congratulations to recent Lamborghini Atlanta Customer B.o.B.

We would like to congratulate recent Lamborghini Atlanta customer B.o.B. on his new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder and thank him for his business. His new album, Strange Clouds, was released the same day and this was a great way to treat himself for all of the hard work putting it together. Great to have you in the family!
