Special Partnership Between Lamborghini and Blancpain
This
extraordinary super sports car joins the competition spirit of the Super Trofeo race car with an exclusive design and one hundred percent
road-going usability. The first Gallardo from the exclusive and limited
Blancpain Edition production run has been presented by Stephan Winkelmann,
President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, and Marc A. Hayek, President and
CEO of Blancpain, at the final race weekend of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super
Trofeo on Sunday September 26 in the "Piero Taruffi" circuit, Vallelunga.
Automobili Lamborghini, the manufacturer of extreme Italian super sports
cars, and Blancpain, the world's oldest luxury watchmaker, are among the very
best brands in their respective sectors worldwide. Blancpain was recently voted
the "Best of the Best" among the world's most exquisite watch brands by the
"Luxury Institute" in New York. Now the two brands have come together to develop
a unique blend of technology and design to create the Lamborghini Gallardo LP
570-4 Blancpain Edition, putting the power of the world's fastest mono-marque
race series into a road-legal vehicle.
Blancpain is the title sponsor of
the successful Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series. The cooperation
between these two brands brings together the highest levels of engineering
excellence from the automotive and chronometry industries. Blancpain has been
producing innovative masterpieces of watch-making art in Switzerland's Vallée de
Joux since 1735. Each timepiece is assembled by one single watchmaker,
reflecting the quality and individual attention with which Lamborghini builds
its super sports cars for the road, and its 570 hp Super Trofeo race cars.
Both brands share an enormous passion for racing. Blancpain is not only
intensely involved with the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, but is also
official timekeeper for the FIA GT1 World Championship - where Lamborghini cars
also compete against other prestigious marques. In July, Lamborghini secured its
first win in the newly-formed championship at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps
circuit in Belgium, where former Formula One driver Riccardo Zonta and Frank
Kechele charged to a first-place finish.
