Video: Lamborghini Ad Personam Programme Promo Revealed


Lamborghini has released a new video to support their "Ad Personam" program. The plan, which translates from Latin as "To the person," offers customers the opportunity to select from a variety of exclusive options.

The options include an extensive variety of choice in exterior color, leather tone, and stitching hue. As the video points out, one thing that will not be changed is Sant'Agata, Bolognese, where each hand built Lamborghini is still assembled.

Lamborghini makes Ad Personam available, for a fee, to those customers who need an extra level of exclusivity. Launched at NAIAS in 2008, the only limiting factor to the options is the customer's available cash.

Prince of Wales' Aston Martin DB6 Volante Pistons Melted into Cufflinks for Charity

PRINCE'S ASTON TO RAISE VITAL FUNDS FOR TRUST

  • Exclusive cufflinks created from original aluminium engine pistons
  • All profits from sale to benefit youth charity, The Prince's Trust

His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales' prized Aston Martin DB6 Volante is now helping raise funds for The Prince's Trust, thanks to a collaboration with specialist sculptor of provenance metals, TMB ArtMetal.

TMB has created 200 pairs of cufflinks, in two designs, formed from the car's original aluminium engine pistons, which are now available to buy, with all profits going to youth charity, The Prince's Trust.

Martina Milburn, chief executive of The Prince's Trust, said: "With these proceeds, we will be able to help more young people into jobs across the UK. Young people have been hit hardest in the recession, so it's now more important than ever to give them the skills and confidence they need to find work."

The project also strikes a chord with The Prince of Wales' dedication to the environment. The six donor pistons became available when his DB6 was first converted to run on biofuel and their subsequent transformation into exclusive accessories is an unusual example of recycling components that would otherwise have been thrown away.
Christopher Bennett managing director of TMB and originator of the idea, said: "These cufflinks are quintessential conversation pieces, with each pair directly benefiting The Prince's Trust. When I heard about the possibility of creating such future heirlooms from The Prince's Aston, the project was irresistible!"
TMB's two, limited-edition cufflink designs have both been made into 100 pairs, each pair formed from aluminium piston and finished with 18ct gold. One edition is an exact, miniature sculpture of the DB6 Volante, whilst the other replicates the car's iconic wheel ‘spinners' - the quick-release fixing that secures its wheels.
Each is presented in a high-quality presentation case, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
The cufflinks are only available direct from TMB ArtMetal, priced £995.00.
