With the death of Pope Francis, the Church is in a moment of change and, with the conclave in full event, In a matter of a few days we will have the new representative to occupy the stays of the Apostolic Palace within the city of the Vatican. During his pontificate, he received a curious amount of gifts. From motorcycles, through crafts, plastic dinosaurs and even real crocodiles, to imposing gifts of prestigious motor marks. One that stood out against others was this Lamborghini hurricane 580-2 that came from the Italian house.
Francisco was not a person who liked ostentatities. Clear example was the last gift made to the vice president of the United States, to which a giant chocolate egg gave him. That reflected the simplicity of this and, therefore, did not make use of the ostentatious creation, which was auctioned and will go down in history, since it is a fairly unusual gift for a Pope. Although it is true that the Italian origin was accompanied by a Harley-Davidson and even a crocodile baby.
The gifts that are made to the Pope do not always become the property of the Vatican, but are sold or, in this case, they are auctioned. That was what happened with Italian creation and this was auctioned by RM Sothebys, in a celebration that occurred several years ago. These are the characteristics that it possesses, which are, the less, exceptional:
A tribute design to El Vaticano
Made by the customization department To the person demborgy, The special editing model focuses on paying tribute to the colors of the flag of the city of the Vaticanpainted in bianco monocherus with tiberine giallo decorated next to the Silhouette of Hurricane.
Pope Lamborghini characteristics
It is one of the points to be highlighted and its design has not been altered and its characteristics are preserved in its essence. The first thing we should know is that this model, specifically, was manufactured from 2015 to 2019. Its mechanics remains unchanged and is that it enjoys the same 5.2 V10 engine of the hurricane that we already knew in the previous copy of the Italian brand. It has 580 horses, but the main difference between the two is that the rear -wheel drive is 33 kilos lighter than its predecessor. He had to have a specific tuning.
A more refined design
With respect to the previous model, the brand had to lighten it, in such a way that They got 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 10.1 secondswhich makes it reach a end speed of 320 km/h. At the aesthetic level, a new design was imposed on the front skirt and renewed tires, which changed their appearance and updated it.
Although the price that was put to this in Europe was around 150,000 euros, the auction took it beyond. Held several years ago by Sotheby’s in Monaco, this model ended up coming to Spain, specifically to Murcia, and did so by the hand of an entrepreneur who paid for 750,000 euros.
