Let's allow the pictures to do the talking, shall we?

First, let me say the venue had several things going for it - intimate and spacious at the same time, friendly service of drinks and snacks (should have taken a photo of the food).
After a few rounds of appetizers, we went around the corner and into the salon, where the car was floating in blue air
We had some informative remarks provided by MIchael Lock, chief operating officer of Lamborghini (formerly with Ducati, Triumph and Th!nk)
Then some lovely ladies whooshed by me, and suddenly the car was uncovered
All the lighting in the room came from intense blue lamps, so the photos are all blue too.
Mighty 700 hp V12 is more fuel efficient and 25% cleaner due to cylinder de-activiation and idle stop systems
The engine cover is lovely and reminded me of the Three Bridges watch with blue crystal bridges.
The pieces of glass overlap, leaving air gaps in various places for ventilation
It looks like a fire in the hold, captain!
The detailing of this car is phenomenal. Notice lined-up seams on body and wiper blades. Everything is aligned!
Wheels nice too! Mrs C says the spokes look like legs with their knees together (or not), depending on how you look ... Anyone agree?
Shall we see it open? Here you go.
It's very easy to get in and out with the top off, although a bit tougher with the top on. We shot a video to illustrate (coming soon)
Inside shot? No problem; someone had to be first in the car and I accidentally happened to be standing near the door.
Here it is with the top panels back in place.
Lamborghini staff were understandably proud of their creation and pleased with our positive reaction.
Note the front radar sensors. Parking and / or front lift?
Bring yourself down to the car show or head for a Lamborghini dealer - orders will fill up fast for this limited production masterpiece!
