Lamborghini Cruise & Chat In OC
The half-day event, September 12, 2009, began for several dozen Lamborghini owners with a drive from Crystal Cove Promenade, up through Silverado Canyon and finishing at the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach for brunch, where a Q&A session took place with executives of the Italian super-car company. The drive was led by professional drifter and Newport Coast resident Samuel Hubinette. Owners came from as far as Chicago — many of them trailering their cars vs. driving them. Rapper Sir-Mix-a-Lot was among the attendees, and Lamborghini showed off some exceptional vehicles, including a bright yellow, 2010 Murcielago LP 670-4 SV, which packs V12 engine that makes 670 horsepower. Another company car that got just as much attention was a Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo racer. (Excerpts from OC Register article by Matt Degen: for full article click here).
