Lamborghini has officially finally jumped the shark with its EDO LP 710 Christian Audigier edition. It would be impossible for Lambo to align itself with a tackier, cornier designer/brand, even if it went straight for the KMART Jaclyn Smith edition. My lord, what in blazes are you fools thinking??? Are you trying to poop on your hard-earned rep with one cheesy ass, overly-bedazzled swoop??
Altho if you consider the average Lamborghini driver, maybe this is a stroke of genius. Sure, Ghinis are among the phattest vehicles this planet has ever seen, but for some reason they lure an ever-so-douchey clientele that reeks more of Drakkar Noir than Screech in his porn days. These guys probably have entire walk-in closets dedicated to their Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier skull-adorned t-shirt collections, so I guess this is a no-brainer marketing wise. Still, one hopes Lamborghini (and their Audi/VW parents) would have waaaaaay more taste than this.
Only 5 will be made, each one made individually for the buyer, who can pick out of Audigier’s “designs”… and we use the term loosely here. No word on price. Top speed is 360 km/h (224 mph), with a 0-100km/h (62mph) in 3.2 seconds — equivalent to the non-douche Murcielago.
