What an experience would love to see more if you have them.
I'm surprised they allowed you to take photos......what is your project

Yes, we (swmbo and I) had a Gallardo LP560-4 for 6 days - mainly driving around Emilla Romagna and Tuscany.

It was a fantastic opportunity. We were working on a number of articles one of which was a review of the car and others with the car as the backdrop. The Lamborghini PR people could not have been more helpful but understandably kept a close eye on us when we went round the factory.

The review of the car is here

Great photos and envious of your 6 day test drive, there was a programme on Nat Geo HD - Megafactories either last week or the week before all about the factory and how they assemble the cars.

Great shots, that orange one is sweet. Went to the Ford plant a Dagenham in the 80's, maybe I should stop there.....

Fantastic stuff. I remember going around the Peugeot factory in Ryton when they were just releasing the 206. Very interesting, but no longer there IIRC.
