Today's pop quiz.......what are those two companies? Give up? Aston Martin and Lamborghini. Is it any surprise about Lambo, when you peruse the sleek farmyard friendly lines of this blue and orange original. Imagine the pigs squealing in delight, as this looker chugged into view.
Yes, good ol' Lamborghini, whose cars have usually been a bit over the top. Not the smooth lines of a Ferrari, but lines that would cut your throat if given the chance. No wonder Car & Driver chose to pose this vision in black with a Countach for a cover way back when.........
Although always in your face, the latest Lambo harkens back to those Countach days, so time to start printing up wall posters for car kids everywhere. Behold their latest wild child, the Sian, available in both spyder (top) and coupe form.........
For all you environmentalists longing for a really wild ride, but having difficulty seeing your way past a Prius, relax, as this Lambo is a hybrid. Your choice, buy about 150 Prius sedans or one Sian for the same price. Economies of scale won't work with this equation.
Some important numbers........Lamborghini will build 63 coupes and 19 spyders. Get it? 1963, which is when the first sportscar to wear the Lambo name was introduced. Cute.
By the way, with a beginning price of $3,700,000 USD, you might think this car would be a hard sell. Wrong, of course, as all have been pre-sold. Let's see......how many Russian oligarchs are there? How many Saudi princes? And of course, let's not forget the Sultan of Brunei and one for the Dubai police. Those eighty two being built just might be enough.
I peaked your interest with that tractor picture and then let you down talking about an exotic sportscar? Ok, so there is one in every crowd. The Sian is a no-go, but this latest Lamborghini tractor should make you break out into a cold sweat........
Until next time and stay safe.........
