40th Anniversary celebration at Sant'Agata - the STORY

From Friday, May 9 2003 until Sunday, May 11 2003 a magnificent event will be organized at and around the factory at Sant'Agata.

The celebration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the company will be held in Italy, during this event the new entry-level Lamborghini model, still named the L140 prototype should be introduced to the lucky people present at the celebration.

According to the official Lamborghini clubs, the number of entrants will be limited and they need to be subscribed in advance by an official, authorized Lamborghini club, so non-members should have a hard time getting in or around the factory during that weekend.

This preliminary overview of the proposed events has recently been communicated to the official clubs :

PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED EVENTS

	40 years of development of ever-improving, uncompromising and cutting-edge technology.
