Lamborghini of Beverly Hills loaned me a 2009 Lamborghini LP 560-4 today for 24 hours. After picking it up, I quickly drove home to pick up JoAnn. We were very lucky to have Bianca babysitting for a few hours! We left Manhattan Beach, drove up to Malibu along the coast and ate at Moonshadows. On the way back, we stopped to take a few pictures. Having the car for 24 hours really gave me a chance to get to know the car. Overall, the car is amazing. It is one of the fastest cars I have driven. Using the thrust control feature, I could rocket the car from 0 to 60 in about 3 1/2 seconds. It was really easy to do! Bijan took some video while during one launch.

My favorite driving mode was the Corsa (race) mode. This optimizes the gear changes, acceleration and handling for quick driving.

Today Lamborghini unveiled the LP 560-4 Spyder to a very select group of people. This was before press day or the general public was allowed to see the car. Lamborghini executives and sales people toasted us with champagne and appetizers.
