Very excited to be playing in the podcast realm - as it allows me to take my love for cars, motorsport and the motoring industry in general, and dig a little deeper, hit a little harder and be a little more candid in bringing you current content from the industry.

The EVO-lution of Lamborghini

April 16, 2020

If you looking for a poster car for supercars then look no further than the Lamborghini stable because with out a doubt at some point, you had one up on your wall and parked in the garage of your dreams. My generation it was the Countach...

But dreams and reality are often two very different things - just ask any owner of a Countach who'll bitch and moan about how impossible they are to drive, yet they won't part with it!
But the brand has come along way since Ferruccio Lamborghini set up his factory in 1963 in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. I had the incredible privilege of visiting the facility last year and even though production is totally modernised and robotised, especially the line where the Urus is being built, you can feel the incredible pride and passion for the brand through the people working there. It somehow still feels intimate and hands on...its an emotive place.
And to retain this with the Germans in charge is even more impressive but its the reason why the brand has evolved and seen the unbelievable growth that they have. The Italians have been left to do what they do best - captivate through design, infusing passion and emotion into every detail of their cars but now with the German precision, reliability, practicality and efficiencies - its the perfect relationship really.
I got to run the Lamborghini EVO up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year but its now finally arrived in South Africa so I am joined by Ian McLaren, Senior Associate Editor at CAR Magazine and Sean Nurse, Editor at Autodealer, to talk about the latest Bull.
