In May 2013, a parade of 77 Lamborghini supercars assembled in Kuala Lumpur, setting a record in the Malaysian Book of Records for the largest number of Lamborghinis at an event. Almost a decade later, the Lamborghini Owners Malaysia (LOM) will try to surpass that feat.
Announcing the attempt for this historic achievement, Dato’ Roslan Rosdi, President of LOM, said the timing could not be more appropriate. “Throughout LOM’s history, we have organised many events, be it short day trips or long overnight drives where, on many occasions, they involve a charity element, mostly making donations to orphanages and taking them for a ride in our cars for some excitement,” he said.
“As we can all gather now safely, we wanted to celebrate the joy of a leisurely drive and will be doing so by attempting to break the record set 9 years ago as part of Lamborghini’s legendary 50th anniversary drive,” he added.
LOM members will gather at the KLCC’s open-air car park in front of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on June 11, near the site where the original record had been set. Not only will this event recapture the excitement from 2013’s event, but the assembly will also mark the eagerness of LOM members to return to travel and navigate the idyllic highways of Malaysia after a period of forced isolation.
“This record-breaking event which includes a drive element is being organised by LOM members for its members. Once we have officially trumped the record, we will then travel to the Chateau, Bukit Tinggi where a gala dinner, dubbed ‘Bulls Ball’, will be held,” said Dato’ Roslan.
According to said Dato’ Rakesh Sachdev, LOM Organising Committee Chairperson, the biggest challenge for the attempt is aligning the timing of Lamborghini owners who are all captains in the industry. “Our members however are more than happy to gather for a good cause,” he said, adding that the goal is to raise a minimum of RM40,000 from members and partners for 4 charities.
The public can view the cars gathered which are expected to include rare versions as well as the latest models such as the Gallardo MLE, Huracan Spyder, Urus and Aventador SVJ.
