The Viva Italia event in Assen, June 4th 2001.
On June 4th 2001, the Lamborghini Club Nederland and VDB-Promotions organized the by now famous Viva Italia event
on the TT circuit in Assen, The Netherlands, again this single day event became one of the major Italian Car
events.
This year a very impressive collection of about 40 Lamborghini's were present, together with a massive series of Ferrari's,
Maserati's, Alfa's, Lancia's, Iso's and a gathering of other various Italian car and bike marques.
Some extremely rare Lamborghini's were present, the brand new Diablo SE 6-Liter even won the Concours d'Elegance in his
category, the car that was shown was in fact the number 1 production car in Oro Elios. This car came directly from the
factory in Italy and was accompanied by none other than Valentino Balboni, who was on the Lamborghini Club Nederland
stand all day, if he wasn't driving on the circuit that is.
Another interesting Diablo was a rare Koenig Special finished in red, a complete bodykit and tuned engine gave this car
the extra edge on the circuit, although some nice Diablo SE's and Countach's could keep up with it on the famous TT track.
Some of the more classic Lamborghini models were also shown, a stunning Islero with a white leather interior, three Jarama's
and an Espada, naturally the Jalpa was also shown, a black one with rare Silhouette wheels, a few Countach's but one car
was high above the rest of the Lamborghini's, a massive LM002 from Germany stood proud between the other models.
Just like last year it was possible to take your Lamborghini out for a spin on the circuit, also visitors were able to
experience the thrill of sitting in the passenger seat while the car was racing down the straight at high speed, an
awesome feeling ...
