Stephan Grühsem - Peter Vann "Lamborghini. A tempo furioso"
_______________________________________________



"Lamborghini. A tempo furioso" is the lastest book dedicated to the House of the Raging Bull and done with Lamborghini's complete authorisation, now on sale in English, German and Italian. It is a collaboration between Stephan Grühsem, Head of Communications at AUDI AG, and Peter Vann, one of the most famous contemporary photographers in the automotive world: With an original title, the same in all three languages, which highlights the identifiable characteristics of the brand: extreme, uncompromising and Italian.

More than 170 pages, printed on elegant glazed paper, the book tells the history of the brand, from its beginnings with Ferruccio Lamborghini, up to the present day with the new models in the range, and a sneak look at the future.

It includes an abundance of information and plenty of photographs of the models which have helped to create the history of Lamborghini (from the Countach, to the Miura and the 350 GT, from the Espada to the LM), the prototypes never built but worth remembering (as for example Marzal, Bravo, Athon, Calà and Raptor) and the new models in the range : Murciélago, Gallardo, Murciélago Roadster and Gallardo Spyder. Naturally, it wouldn't be complete without the Concept S and the latest prototype Miura Concept 2006. For fans of the models in miniature there is a chapter dedicated to these 1 :43 scale " jewels " all rigorously hand built by Egidio Reali.



The authors devoted more than two years of research for this book. They were allowed unrestricted access to all the company's departments, held detailed discussions with past engineers - such as Mr. Giotto Bizzarrini, interviewed in Livorno - to the designers (shot inside the new Centro Stile), to the President, Stephan Winkelmann, photographed in the most characteristic locations in Bologna.

Grühsem and Vann enjoyed the incomparable pleasure of driving each new model; they even took a Murciélago to Andalusia to see for themselves where the celebrated Miura fighting bulls are bred. The results of their labours: fascinating photos and emotive writing that bring Lamborghini to life in all its facets.

Who is Stephan Grühsem

Stephan Grühsem (1962) is Head of Communications at AUDI AG. A writer who studied journalism, worked for major German daily newspapers and business magazines, and discovered the lure of the automobile at an early age. Grühsem has been intensively involved in the new era that began for Lamborghini after it was taken over by Audi AG. This book reflects his intimate knowledge of the associated events and his enthusiasm for these Italian supersports models.

Who is Peter Vann

Peter Vann (1941) is acknowledged to be one of the great contemporary car photographers. A pictorial idiom that is all his own, gives his work its timeless beauty. Vann, who lives in Paris and St. Moritz, has portrayed all the major automobile brands, and in doing so has never failed to set new standards of style. His pictures have long since been regarded as a brand of their own. Photographing the icons that are Lamborghini automobiles was both a challenge and a labour of love for Peter Vann.

It's Not Perfect, But It's A Lamborghini

It's the last thing you'd expect from a Lamborghini: a false start. I was all set to drive away in a creamy white Gallardo Spyder parked outside of the Beverly Hills showroom when the dealer mentioned that the speedometer wasn't working. That's a cop magnet if I've ever heard of one, especially for a car that can reach 195 miles per hour. After a brief negotiation, he outfitted me with a mint-green loaner instead. Verde Picus it's called, a pastel color that's new for 2007 and supposed to make this macho machine more appealing to women.

At that point, it was smooth sailing. Well, almost. I'd intended to pilot this $225,000 beast up the California coast for a weekend getaway. A quick inventory scotched that notion: The firm seats, while plenty supportive, discourage long road trips. The thrilling growl of the 520-hp V-10 engine, coupled with wind and tire and road noise that's downright oppressive, inhibits casual conversation, even with the ragtop up. As for space, you can take a passenger or you can take luggage, but not both. And, oh yes, the seat heaters, a $3,340 option, were permanently stuck in the "on" position.

Enough with the nits. I love this car for what it is. The Gallardo is the most drivable car Lamborghini has ever made. You don't need to be a gymnast to ease yourself into the cabin. The footwell, squeezed between the front wheels, feels roomy. The navigation, audio, and climate controls are visible and sensible -- and match those of an Audi A8 (Volkswagen's luxury car division has owned Lamborghini since 1998). If you don't want to accede to the constant demands of a conventional shifter, there's a tamer $10,000, six-speed automatic with paddles behind the steering wheel for manual shifts when you want them.

I took the Gallardo into the hills around Los Angeles just to see how it handles on twisty roads (it loves corners). I was sorry that I didn't get to let it loose on a track. But mostly, in California at least, this car serves as a boulevard beauty, meant to impress and to intimidate. Something about the intensely angular styling shouts "don't even try" to drivers of souped-up Mustangs and pathetic little Porsches who pull up next to you at stop lights. They try, of course. These challengers want to provoke the primitive animal growl that happens when the exhaust blows open. I was only too happy to comply.

WagerWeb spokesperson Cindy Margolis arrives in style to Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift premiere in 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Roadster.

(PRWEB) June 18, 2006 -- Plenty of beautiful women in fast cars with revving engines makes Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift a must see movie. But none were hotter or sexier than WagerWeb spokesperson Cindy Margolis as he arrived at the premiere of the Neal Moritz movie in her Lamborghini.

Margolis, a car enthusiast herself can often be seen "drifting' in her Lamborghini against the backdrop of the Hollywood Hills and recently added another gem to her collection..a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur sedan. "I love the speed and power, combined with the beauty of a fast car", says the internet pioneer.

Margolis also took the opportunity to announce that her 2007 Calendar will be shot in Costa Rica in conjunction with her new on line partner, top rated sports book Wagerweb. Margolis still ranks as one of the biggest selling calendar and poster celebs ever. "I welcome the opportunity to shoot my 2007 calendar in beautiful Costa Rica and I love working with Wagerweb" "They are true innovators in the world of on line gaming".

Some thirty years ago the pop culture movie classic American Graffiti introduced the film goers to the world of fast, hot cars. Now, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift has taken up the slack and brought it full circle. And, if you look closely at the center of that circle you'll
see the pop culture icon who has brought it all to a new level..Cindy Margolis.
