This week saw Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann unveil a special-edition Gallardo at the Qatar Motor Show: the LP 560-4 Bicolore.
The venue confirms the importance of the Middle East market to the extreme, uncompromising and Italian brand that is Lamborghini. The Bicolore (or ‘two-colour’) is, certainly, an ‘extreme’ automobile, with its two-tone black-and-orange livery both inside and out and, of course, V10 Gallardo performance. Just 222 examples of the model will be produced, worldwide.
Winkelmann’s speech also promised the “start of a new era for Lamborghini”, referring to the impending launch of the new Lamborghini V12 at Geneva in March. This, he says, will be a car to “redefine the parameters of super-sportscars – in design, technology and performance, with no competitors.”
