Yes, for the one-offs and the ultra limited models, they select you based on your buying history. I was selected for an SVJ63 roadster, went to Monterey, and even spec’d it out, but decided at the last minute to walk away because the SVJ market was imploding back in 2019, and I didn’t want to drop close to a million dollars. Biggest mistake ever, the car would be worth $1.5+ million today.
My Revuelto was a VIP car, one of the first 200 in the world. Well, it was supposed to be among the first 200. We previewed the car at the Lamborghini Lounge in NYC a few months before the public unveiling. We weren’t allowed to spec the car ourselves, only choose from around 10 preconfigured options. There was nothing particularly special about them either, no unique badging or anything.
Next month, I’m heading to Monterey again for the VIP unveiling of the next one-off, called the Fenomeno. It’s $4.8 million CAD with a 33% deposit. Only 29 will be built, with possibly one or two coming to Canada. You need a very strong buying history to be considered for an allocation, and now Lamborghini also looks at what other cars you own. Just for the VIP preview my dealer had to get approval.
