We can't say that Lamborghini is exploiting the Aventador but they do like to come up with a special model every now and then. This Pirelli Edition looks great and next to that it's also limited!
I (Yusuf Essop) contacted David from Lamborghini during the week and asked if I could come through to do a quick photoshoot of the Pirelli Edition Lamborghini Aventador. I arrived on Saturday and began right away. I was amazed at the beauty of this spaceship.
Lamborghini has announced the production of an exclusive new special series, the Aventador LP700-4 Pirelli Edition, created to celebrate the long and ongoing history of collaboration with prestigious Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli. The partnership began back in 1963, the year the House of the Raging Bull was established, and since then all Lamborghini cars have been equipped with Pirelli tires. The two firms not only share their Italian origins but also, and above all, a constant quest for technological innovation.
The exterior sports a two-tone color scheme in two options. The first is matte black for the roof, the pillars, the rearview mirrors, the engine hood, and the front, rear, side and moving air intakes, in contrast with six glossy finishes for the rest of the body. The second option is glossy black for the upper parts of the car and the air intakes, in contrast with four matte finishes for the rest of the exterior.
Another distinctive element of the body is a thin red stripe that runs along the roof and the engine hood, the rearview mirrors, and the outer profiles of the air intakes, a stylistic feature designed to evoke the unmistakable Pirelli branding. The Pirelli logo, once again in red, is visible at the start of the two roof lines and on the tires.
A huge thanks to David from Lamborghini JHB
