Thumbs up Gold Lambo Superleggera

Yep, and you probably thought this thread was about a 24k gold wrapped car from the middle east.

Ridiculously awesome color!

I was at the factory in 2004 and requested a builf of a new Murcie in this color, they would not do it..but since have released a few cars in this color "special order" (not cheap) as well as I know of one LP670-4SV in Europe finished in the Maronne's Eclipse shade. These are very very special colors..AND NO picture can do either justice..you need to see it in person to see how deep and rich the color is...

Lambo was apprehensive at first but finally okayed it. They also sent a few paint chips over just to make sure that we were talking about the same colour --- that was kind of cool. Not much of a gold-colour car person myself but every since I saw the 6.0SE, I knew I wanted a Lambo with Oro Elios some day. This colour shifts tone & hue like crazy under different ambient lighting.

Cool looking car. Like a SL isn't unique enough...lol.

Also cool that this is a Canadian car. Pics are at the beach in Kitsilano.

^Same here! It's a classy color, and suits it well with the dark rims. This is the first Lambo of any kind I've seen with a front plate But overall it looks great!

Guess I'll be the oddball and say I absolute like nothing about this at all.
