    Greetings,

    I have been asked what the M stands for in LP420 SVM Urraco.. Because as we go to Italy to celebrate Lamborghini Automobiles 50 years in business we know this little bull will have many battles to challenge when it arrives.

    The M is the LP420 svM is in honor of the greatest bull fighter of all time who stood in the ring and had the bull come fight him, in true honor of knowing its not the bull in the fight its the man in the fight who can stay true to his ground.. The M is for Manolete.. Manolete fought the Miura bull Islero, who as he plunged his Espada into the bull the bull gourde the matador yes they both stood their respective ground doing what they both came to the ring to do... LP420 SVM Urraco will be in Italy doing what it is meant to do! THANK you for the oppertunity to come and play with the other bulls, LP420 SVM Urraco the "Twice Baked Bull"

    LP420 SVM Urraco! The M is SVM is for Manolete

    Thanks for the video, quite intriguing.

    Did you keep the emissions controls on the car?

    be sure to park the car (any moment) at BullBar when it comes home !

    I'd love to take some pictures in front of my museum (which happens to be there as well) !

    I may not have a model of it, but at least I will show a picture :)

    I was asking because I would expect not including it would require retuning. Your new engine w/o its emissions stuff is still cleaner than the original anyway.

    Oh yeah its going to need re-tune. Fore sure, right now Alan and his team are on a flat run to get her done. Our plan is to test and tune almost non stop Friday through 11am Monday. We need to put several hundred miles on her before she is shipped.

    Nice to see you making your dead line. Sometimes this is the best way to get things accomplished. "Under the gun" style.

    Oh that sucks.(in a way) Sorry I misunderstood your #218 post.
    (in a way) meaning, "aircargo" will be shorter shipping time, you know exactly where the car is, ect...but still has its hazards and costs I'm sure.
    Another bump in an incredible journey!

    It is a saga that is for sure... I dont know if its an omen or not but we should be ready to test fire the motor tomorrow, Easter Sunday... something about back to life. But so not on the same scale.. ;) just ironic I guess.

    Here we see the Harley headlamps on the POP UP brackets designed and built by Patrick Green. I have to give him a proper shout out he has done much of the modeling work on the car his CNC hubs and Spindles are true works of art, We looked at "Lamborghini" Hexagonal mesh for the grills he made a sample of Lamborghini SHIELD shape mesh it was really cool but we opted for the hex mesh he made. Did not want to cheese off the Lamborghini law department.

    The front Carbon clip is in sealer and ready for paint to match the car the side vents are also prepped and ready for paint they too are 100% carbon.

    The "spider" looking brackets are for holding the gas tank firmly in place on soft mounts.

    Many of you have been asking why we have not posted new photos of the LP420 SVM Urraco in weeks, simple answer is Alan Lee the master builder is concentrating on finishing the car so we can ship it to Italy for the Lamborghini 50th 1,200 KM ADVENTURE THROUGH THE MOST FASCINATING ITALIAN LANDSCAPES AND CITIES. we are respecting his request to be 'still" as he finishes the car.

    Alan has assured Lamborghini we will be there ready to go go go! Please post your best wishes to Alan and his team as they get the LP420 SVM Urraco ready to rock and roll with the BIG bulls of Lamborghini!
