Ego Mode on the Aventador S

Everyone is familiar with the different driving modes on modern Lamborghini's. Strada, meaning Street. Sport, which is self explanatory, and everyone's favorite, Corsa (Racing Mode). And switching between these modes is hilariously easy. Located at the bottom of the steering wheel on the Huracan, and located on the center console for the Aventador, it's quite easy to switch between each driving mode. Sport and Corsa modes will open up the valves and exhaust in the engine to direct more airflow, making the car more violent, and even louder.

With the recent announcement and release of the Aventador S, came the announcement of its "Ego" mode. This gives the driver the ability to customize their very own driving experience from being able to change the position of the rear wing, to changing the suspension settings. And with the 40 more horsepower, redesigned body, and with all 4 wheels turning around corners, the Aventador S is a driving machine unlike any other. But don't worry, if Ego Mode isn't really for you, the original three driving modes are still present in the new vehicle.

Pre-Owned 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo

Happy Monday from Perillo! Today, we have a very special treat for you. The last hurrah of the older Lamborghini flagship model, the triumphant and powerful Gallardo. Lamborghini originally announced the Gallardo over 10 years ago, and ever since it's paved the road for all other starter-level supercars to follow. Let's take a look.

This particular Gallardo is finished in Grigio Telesto which is one of the more rare colors Lamborghini offers. Usually cars like this look the best in bright and vibrant colors, but there are a few darker exceptions, and this is one of them. Orange and white racing lines can be found on the hood and the rear end of the car that match the calipers, which from an aesthetic standpoint, looks amazing. With a Nero Ade interior and orange contrast stitching, it just adds more to the overall composition of the vehicle. We all know Lamborghini's look amazing, but they also sound amazing. And this car is no exception. Fitted with a 5.2 liter V10 engine, generating 560 horsepower and a top speed of just over 200mph, this car is a racing machine.

Ayrton Senna Exhibition at the Lamborghini Museum

Yesterday, a new exhibition at the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy was inaugurated, showcasing the accomplishments of the racing legend, Ayrton Senna. Every F1 car Senna drove is now on display, including a special McLaren fitted with a Lamborghini engine from 1993. The exhibition will be on display from April 12th (yesterday) to October 9th.

Ayrton Senna is regarded as the greatest Formula One racing driver of all time, winning three championships in 1988, 1990, and 1991. His last race was on May 1st, 1994. While in the lead in the San Marino Grand Prix located at the Imola race track in Italy, Senna lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a wall, ultimately putting him to rest. Many changes to the Imola race track had been made over the years, due to claiming the lives of some of the worlds greatest race car drivers. With Automobili Lamborghini's racing heritage, it's heartwarming to see that CEO Stefano Domenicali cleared out the museum to celebrate the life of the worlds greatest F1 racer who ever lived.

What It's Like To Drive A Lamborghini Aventador

In order to really put you, the reader, inside of the vehicles we talk about on this blog, it's going to take someone with a bit of experience in driving them. No one ever forgets their first time seeing a Lamborghini, and driving one is that next step in the experience. Let me tell you that there is nothing like it, and nothing comes close to the precision, speed, and raw power that the Aventador has. It's the perfect supercar.

This is a very intimidating car at first, but once you get more familiar with where everything is, and how to properly drive it, it becomes a breeze. Lifting the scissor doors and climbing inside the jet fighter cockpit-like interior, you start to notice all of the hard work and dedication it takes the people at the Lamborghini factory to build it. Lifting the switch to get to the ignition button is a fantastic feeling in itself. And when that engine turns on, that's when the magic really happens. The V12 orchestra comes alive and emits the most beautiful sound in the world. The powerful sound of the engine, gives you a rush of adrenaline, which adds to the experience. Although the Aventador has AWD and sticks to the ground no matter how tight the turn, you feel every bump and crack in the road, which adds to the visceral nature of the car. All things considered, this is the best driving experience one can have.

For more of the technical information on these vehicles, please visit our website where we have an expansive inventory of brand new as well as pre-owned Lamborghini's all available for a test drive and looking for a new home. Our showroom is located at 330 Ogden Ave, Downers Grove IL, 60515 where we have a team of specialists dedicated to giving you the best out of your Perillo experience. We hope to see you soon!

Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder

Everyone was expecting it sooner or later! Spyshots of the Lamborghini Huracan Performance Spyder making its rounds at the Nurburgring and on the road have surfaced within the past couple of days, and we would like to share it with you all. Just like every brand new car Lamborghini pushes out, a roadster version is never too far off; usually announced from a few months to a year after the initial release of the coupe.

Every time a new car is being tested on the track or on the road, it's covered in black and white so it doesn't give away many surprises in terms of how the body of the car is shaped, and some are even fitted with panels that won't reach production. The Performante Spyder will share the same specifications as the hard top, although will not be able to reach the same top speed with the roof off, just like every other roadster variant of a supercar. The official announcement of the car should be made sometime within the next coming months, so stay tuned for more information!

For more information about putting your order in for the Huracan Perfomante coupe, please contact us at (630) - 241 - 4848 and we will be more than happy to assist you. Don't hesitate to ask about the upcoming spyder variant as well!

And as always, have a wonderful day!

Pre-Owned 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Talk about a blast from the past! Back when Lamborghini started their two model reign, firstly was the Murcielago, which made its debut in 2001 after the production cycle of the Diablo ended. And then in 2003 came the Gallardo, which was the longest running vehicle in Lamborghini history, and had the highest number of cars produced in the line, even today.  This Gallardo in particular may be 9 years old, but was kept in immaculate condition! Let's take a look.

The exterior of this 2008 Gallardo Spyder is finished in a unique Biacno Monocerus, which has a particular shine in the sunlight. Meanwhile the interior of the car looks sleek to the touch with its Nero Perseus colored leather with white contrast stitching throughout. And for added contrast, this vehicle has tinted headlamps, tail lights, and driver/passenger windows which give it a presence not shown from many other Lamborghini's. And with a massive 5.0 liter V10 engine, this car will definitely capture the attention of everyone!

2017 Lamborghini Huracán LP580-2

Earlier this week, we learned about Lamborghini's new usage of their proprietary forged carbon fiber parts, and even how these beautifully menacing cars are painted. Today we have a special car for you, that proudly displays both of those categories. The brand new 2017 Lamborghini Huracán LP580-2; The Lamborghini for those who like all of their power directed to the rear wheels!

Along with a differently designed front end of the Huracán, there is also a little bit less horsepower than what you would get from the traditional V10 version of this vehicle, but takes nothing away from the amount of fun and power you get when you put the pedal to the floor. With forged carbon fiber accents, Arancio Borealis exterior and a Nero Ade interior, this Huracán is one of the best examples of what a Lamborghini should look like.

This vehicle as well as many other brand new and pre-owned Lamborghini's can be found on our website, or in our showroom at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515. Come in and take a test drive and take this beautiful raging bull home with you today!

Lamborghini Painting Process

Aside from the over the top crazy design of the Lamborghini brand, above all else, the brand is known for having the most beautiful and wide array of colors available for their cars. I would like to walk you through the process of painting these vehicles at the Lamborghini factory. Lamborghini is one of the very few luxury car manufacturers that still hand paints their cars because they believe that humans still have the edge over machines when it comes to painting techniques.

When a finished Lamborghini body enters the paint shop, it is first primed and sanded to ensure that the body is smooth and has no imperfections. One person is required to paint the outside of the vehicle, while another paints the inside. This is because not one person has a painting technique that's identical to another. Each color has its own name and usually two or three variations depending on what the customer requests. The color range has been extended thanks to the Ad Personam Program. The fully painted body takes many many hours to finish, and is then inspected once more for imperfections in the paint.

Perillo Lamborghini has plenty of these beautifully chromatic vehicles in our showroom at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515, and our website where you can search through our inventory of brand new and used Lamborghini's. Come in and take a test drive, or contact one of our Lamborghini specialists!

Lamborghini's Forged Carbon Fiber

The automotive industry as we know it has been utilizing incredible technology for the past 20 years. And one of the largest breakthroughs in lightweight composite materials is of course carbon fiber. This is perhaps the most interesting material in the world, because in it's natural state, it feels like fabric. But when exposed to high pressure and heat, the lightweight material becomes 5 times stronger than stainless steel.

Lamborghini has invented and patented a brand new way of creating solid carbon pieces for the interiors of newer cars. Shavings of solid carbon, fitted into a mold and exposed to extreme pressure and heat through a machine called an Autoclave, the finished piece not only becomes stronger, but has a very unique look. The best example of forged carbon fiber from Lamborghini is the entire body of the Sesto Elemento, which only weighs a little over 2,000lbs.

Lamborghini has always been known to make the greatest and craziest looking cars on the planet. And we have tons of brand new and pre-owned Lamborghini's which can be viewed on our website, or at our dealership, located at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515.

The Lamborghini Museum

Discover the history of Lamborghini at the real factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy! Located in what is known as Modena, the Italian manufacturer mecca in northern Italy is home not just to Lamborghini, but to Pagani Automobili and many others. Offering assembly line tours, and even a showroom with the very first Lamborghini all the way to the Urus, this museum is an experience from  start to finish.

Lamborghini was founded by a man who discovered his passion for building machines after he came home from the armed forces. This man got his start within the tractor industry, and eventually became very wealthy. With his wealth, Ferruccio Lamborghini bought a Ferrari and was displeased. After consulting with Enzo Ferrari, Ferruccio was told that he would never know how to make a great car. Thus Automobili Lamborghini was born, with the bold statement of "I will create the greatest super sports car in the world" and the rest is history.

Here at Perillo Downer's Grove, we have for you a huge array of the worlds greatest super sports cars in our showroom and on our lot at 330 Ogden, Downer's Grove IL, 60515. Come down and schedule a test drive! Or take a look at our website where you can find our full inventory.

Pre-Owned 2015 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster

The Lamborghini line for many years has created many different and unique colors that have helped give their cars the signature look they're all known for. Perhaps one of the most rare colors within the Grigio (Grey) segment is the glossy Grigio Telesto finish, which is very interesting in certain lights, and it looks gorgeous on this vehicle.

We all know the specifications of Lamborghini's flagship model. From the 6.5 liter V12 engine, 4WD,  0 - 60 in 2.9 seconds, Lamborghini has almost pushed the Aventador into the hypercar class of vehicles to compete with Pagani and others. The Aventador has a single clutch transmission, which means constant use of the paddle shifters located on the steering column. This car in particular has a Nero Ade interior which looks sleek, stealthy and most of all, comfortable.

Perillo Lamborghini would like to invite you to come take a test drive and hear the beautiful V12 orchestra that lies within this fantastic machine. If this Aventador doesn't suit your tastes, we have a large inventory of new and pre-owned Lamborghini's on our website or visit our showroom at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515.

Lamborghini Delivers First of 40 Centenarios

About a year ago at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini announced the car dedicated to Ferruccio Lamborghini's 100th birthday, the Centenario. Before the car was announced, all 40 of them had been bought by customers that have been with the Lamborghini brand over the past 30 years.

The Centenario is an Aventador based vehicle with a massive V12 engine and a full carbon fiber body. Priced at $1.8 million for the coupe and $2.2 million for the roadster, the Centenario is one of the most expensive Lamborghini's ever to be made. This vehicle explores new technology and engineering that will be later implemented into future Lamborghini models, and is already finding its way into the Urus.

Although our dealership doesn't have this legendary Lamborghini, we do have plenty of brand new and pre-owned Lamborghini's in our inventory on our website, or at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515.

Pre-Owned 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

The mid 2000's sparked the longest running model in Lamborghini history. The Lamborghini Gallardo took the world by storm only a few years after the production cycle of the Diablo. This car was brand new, had a smaller engine and a sportier look about it. There was a wind of change in the air... This was also the first time in Lamborghini history where they produced two models at the same time. The Gallardo and the Murcielago.

This Gallardo in particular boasts a powerful V10 rear mounted engine that generates 512 horsepower. Considering this Gallardo is a convertible, there isn't a clear window in the rear to view the engine, however the panel that covers the engine has larger openings to let out all of the heat generated by the engine. This car is finished in a brilliant Giallo Midas, which is a paint color Lamborghini hasn't used since the Gallardo was in production and has a beautiful Nero Ade interior.

To find out more information about this vehicle and many others, check out our website, or come visit Perillo Downer's Grove at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove, IL, 60515.

Lamborghini Huracan Performante Testing At The Nurburgring

Recent spy shots have been taken at the Nurburgring in Germany over the past few days, where we see that Lamborghini has been ahead of schedule with the resting of the Huracan's newest edition: The Performante. Much like the Gallardo in the past, the new Huracan Performante will be limited to probably a few hundred units.

The Performante line from Lamborghini has always been more track focused. Each car in this line has a lot of weight reduced and added power. We don't know the exact specifications of the new Huracan just yet. These days, it's very rare to lap the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes. The recent Lamborghini Aventador SuperVeloce finished the lap in 6 minutes and 59 seconds, and we think the much lighter Huracan will be able to finish in less time.

We have plenty of Huracan and Aventadors in our inventory at Perillo Lamborghini at 330 E Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515. Or take a look at our website!

Pre-Owned 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo

2013 was the year Lamborghini ended the production cycle for the Gallardo, which is the companies longest running model spanning 10 whole years from 2004 to 2014. The Gallardo has gone through many changes and special editions throughout the years, but this one in particular is perhaps one of the finest examples of a top notch Gallardo

This pre-owned 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo sports orange and white racing stripes above a deep gray Grigio Telesto finish which looks beautiful from all angles. The last hurrah of the Gallardo packs a 5.2 liter V10 engine and produces 560 horsepower and a redesigned front end, giving it a more aggressive look and is quite possibly the best looking Gallardo Lamborghini has ever produced. 

Come take a look in our showroom where this vehicle is on display with many others at 330 E Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515 or take a look at our website!

Lamborghini Design

If there is one thing that Lamborghini does right, it's making their cars look good. Throughout the years, Lamborghini styling has turned the brand into an absolute superstar around the world. The companies founder Ferruccio Lamborghini had a very effective approach to his cars. If they didn't turn heads as they drive down the street, they're not good enough.

The evolution of Lamborghini design has gone through quite the process in the past few decades. One of Lamborghini's most iconic cars; The Countach was actually designed by Horacio Pagani, who later went off to create his own car company. Lamborghini's more recent chief designer Filippo Perini has helped shape the brand into what it is today. With hard edges, long lines, and hexagonal shapes throughout, there is nothing else on the road that looks like a Lamborghini.

We sell these beautiful works of art on our dealership website, or at 330 E Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515 at Perillo Lamborghini. Come take a look in our showroom and take a test drive, or just admire the art around you.
