People who spend thousands of dollars on a Lamborghini that they love don’t like to part with it. Unfortunately Marlowe Treit had to do just that after it was involved in an accident. Marlowe Treit, from Oregon, had bought the black Lamborghini for his 60th birthday. He has decided to sue after a small plane piloted by FBI agents. The propeller from the Cessna airplane mangled the driver’s side of the black Lamborghini.
The JLOC Isao Noritake team was given permission to compete in the 75th Le Mans 24 Hours. This means that 54 vehicles will be featured in the race. The Japanese team was forced to withdraw its entry on Thursday morning after a high-speed accident involving Marco Apicella during the first qualifying session destroyed the only Lamborghini Murcielago entered into the race, with no hope of the damaged car being repaired in time for the start.
There are rumors that for the 2009 model year, Lamborghini might be building a successor to the Espada. The Lamborghini cheif designer, Luc Donckerwolke, thinks it is best to broaden the Lamborghini imagination and add something new to the mix. Something besides just the Gallardo and Murcielago.
There is still proof in the world that wishes still come true. And what better wish to have then to want to ride in a lamborghini. Rev. Joseph Elliott had this one wish and for his 83 birthday he was able to fulfill that wish.
Lamborghini is planning on attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year and will be displaying the lightweight V10 Gallardo Superleggera, the V12 Murcielago LP640 Coupe and Roadster, and the V10 Gallardo Coupe and Spyder.

The Murciélago LP640 Coupé will be driven by young British driver Mike Conway, sponsored at Goodwood by Lloyds TSB Private Banking.
