So, recently, I reluctantly sold my 2009 LP560. It was my first Lamborghini, my first exotic. It was an absolutely fantastic car, and it was tough to let go.
Having decided that I would avoid buying new, thus letting someone else take the initial depreciation hit, I settled into the mindset of not expecting to have a fun car this coming summer, maybe even next! (It took me 18 months of looking, before I bought my LP560 - I MIGHT have been a little specific with my wants, hahaha). Thankfully, I sold my baby to a great guy - a friend of a friend, and I know it will be looked after extremely well.

I had been in contact with Miguel at Lamborghini Calgary, and asked him to keep an eye out for a black-on-black Huracán, preferably with no yellow/green/orange (my ideal spec was black on black, with black callipers, white or grey stitching, no Dynamic steering, magneto rheological suspension, sports exhaust). Miguel (who, I must add, is an AMAZING guy, as are all of the staff at Lamborghini Calgary!) came back to me with first a demo car of theirs, which I declined, as it had a LOT of yellow in the interior (I am pretty conservative, haha), and then another, which was Grigio Lynx, with the saddle brown interior - I really do think Grigio Lynx is beautiful, but it's not for me.

Fast forward to this past December - apparently, Lamborghini Calgary had a late-model 2015 in their stock, which they sold to someone in Vancouver, through their sister dealership. The car was shipped out to Vancouver, whereupon the buyer reneged. It was offered to me, and we struck a fantastic deal!!!

The car is perfect spec for me. Nero Helene, Nero Ade interior. At first, I was unsure about the orange calipers and stitching, but now, I love it!!

Full specs:

PD1 - Transparent Engine Bonnet w/ Carbon Forged Engine Bay
PH2 - Sport Exhaust System w/ Style Package
C3E - Rims Mimas Forged 20inch Silver
PC3 - Orange Painted Brake Calipers
PZ3 - Lifting System and Magneto Rheological Suspension
PA1 - Navigation System
WV0 - Full Electric Adjustable and Heated Seats
PL0 - Front and Rear Parking Sensors and Rear View Camera
4M3 - Cup Holder
YCS - Coloured Stitching for Unicolor Interiors
NR1 - Branding Package
YAO - Rooflining and A-Pillars in Alcantara

I was VERY glad to see that as it is a late-2015 model, I managed to get some of the updates - matte black air vents, car cover (although I believe Lamborghini Calgary gave me this of their own accord), owners manual pouch, Homelink (I can't believe Homelink wasn't standard from the word go on this (or virtually any) car???)

So, a deal was struck, and the car was delivered on New Year's Day I am absolutely thrilled with it. The only problem is that it is winter here, of course, and as such, the car goes straight up on the lift, and will be stored for the next few months, until driving season arrives. How I will be able to stand waiting, is beyond me!!! My wife and I had a whole bunch of the guys that I drive with over to introduce the new car last night - they thought they were just coming for coffee, and (most of them) had no clue about it!

So, apologies for my extended dissertation. Here are some pics!















Thanks for reading! As I have said before, we are very fortunate for having the opportunity, means, and inclination to own such cars. That I was lucky enough to meet up with the guys and girls that I drive with, now regularly, is the best part of ownership.

I must add - Lamborghini Calgary were, and are, WONDERFUL to work with - not just in the purchasing process, but also, simply interacting with from the time I walked into the dealership. I have thus far met Miguel, Michael, Jarrod in service, Lauren, and knew Richard from before. All phenomenal people - I can't recommend them and their dealership enough!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
