People from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy are exceptional..

Ask them to make vinegar- look, balsamic!
Ask for ham - they come back with prosciutto
They make a cheese- its called Parmagiano and sells for $20+/lb in the US (not to be confused with the sawdust marketed by Kraft as 'Parmesan')
Ask them to make a motorcycle - abracadabra - a Ducati
They make a Car - take your pick Ferrari/Lambo/Maserati/Zonda

What is it with those people?!?

Once again, Awesome ride!

You are welcome! You definitely should plan a trip there. Well worth it. On the same trip my wife and I headed to Maranello (not far from Sant'Agata) to go to the Ferrari factory and their museum. Amazing experience!!!

Here are some more pics at Lamborghini.

Gorgeous pics and fantastic rides they build in bella italia.
But most I am impressed by the sound the Lamborghinis make.
Its like a huge Dragons roar before it turns into a F14 Tomcat...

The sound is a big part of the driving experience. The stock cars are a bit quiet, so I put in Fabspeed cat-bypass pipes and a Tubi exhaust. The result is a cold-start that shakes the garage walls and a high-pitched F1 scream at open throttle. Oh yeah, the car also throws flames at night,

The most surprising part is while in the cabin, this car is quieter than my M3 with an exhaust. I think it’s because all the exhaust components are all the way to the back of the car.

the amendmends you did seem to push the joy level up in the air .
With the sound inside its a strange development in our days. Porsche dud always well, even if the change to water cooling with the 996 did not convince me right from the start. The Carrera S models give the direction, just you need to black out the sound generator. But Audi and BMW go all the same development with their S and M models.

Wow... that is one serious piece of machinery...... the Lambo ain't bad either

But that's the perfect colour for it ...... very mean and menacing......

I do struggle when you see guys with the canary yellow or day-glo orange paint jobs. With that car ..... you simply don't need to attract anymore attention than it does naturally.......

Enjoy it as I'm sure you will and thanks for sharing
