Lamborghini PoloStorico – official opening of new heritage center at Automobili Lamborghini, Sant’Agata Bolognese

Sant’Agata Bolognese, 1 March 2017 – Automobili Lamborghini officially opens
its new PoloStorico facility, a center dedicated to Lamborghini classic cars
and the preservation of Lamborghini heritage.
The new studio, located inside the main entrance of Lamborghini’s factory
and headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, provides a dedicated space for
clients of PoloStorico and the Lamborghini PoloStorico team. The classic
department is committed to the restoration and certification of classic
Lamborghini cars out of production for at least ten years (from Lamborghini
350 GT to Diablo); the preservation of archives and records; and the
provision of original Lamborghini spare parts for classic cars. Lamborghini
boasts a spare parts warehouse that covers more than 65% of classic
Lamborghini spare parts, with supply of additional components on request.

“The preservation of Lamborghini classic cars and the rich heritage
associated not only with the cars but our history of innovative and
groundbreaking design, production and brand over more than 50 years, is an
essential department within our company as we head to the future,” said
Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano
Domenicali. “The investment into our new Lamborghini PoloStorico facility
reflects the importance we attach to our heritage and our classic car clients
who, when restoring, certifying or maintaining their cars want to return to
Lamborghini for the authenticity and accuracy that only Lamborghini
ensures.”
Lamborghini PoloStorico receives classic Lamborghini owners from all
around the world, also managing transport of classic cars that may spend
between six and 24 months in Italy during a full restoration.
PoloStorico also offers a unique Certification of Authenticity service, which
preserves and enhances the value of Lamborghini classic cars.
Announcement of the Comitato dei Saggi “in memory of Paolo Stanzani”.
Lamborghini PoloStorico announces the official formation of a two-tier
committee, responsible for preserving the accuracy of official historical
documentation and overseeing the verification of historic model production,
manufacturing processes and specifications.
The double committee system’s first tier is Comitato dei Saggi, which defines

the general guidelines; priorities to be respected; and amends and finally
endorses proposals received from the second body, Comitati Tecnici.
Comitato dei Saggi is established in memory of Paolo Stanzani, the engineer
who created the Lamborghini Miura of 1966 along with engineer Giampaolo
Dallara and designer Marcello Gandini, and subsequently participated in the
creation of other legendary models. Comitato dei Saggi is comprised of three
members, one from inside the company and two external experts. The first is
Maurizio Reggiani, current Director of Research and Development at
Lamborghini, who has been with the company since 1998. The external
experts include Giampaolo Dallara, technical director of Automobili
Lamborghini from 1963 to 1969 in the years that saw the birth of the 350 GT,
the Miura, the Marzal and the Espada.
The third external member of the Comitato dei Saggi is engineer Mauro
Forghieri, who was Technical Director of the motorsport department,
Lamborghini Engineering, at the end of the 80s. For Lamborghini PoloStorico
he is the reference on motorsport topics.
Comitati Tecnici is comprised of internal teams from R&D, design, production
and other departments as well as third party expertise, responsible for the
research and documentation of all historic data, including design and
production policies and records, technical data, suppliers and even archive
information including brand, press and event materials.
The first four projects involving both committees concern bills of materials in
order to reproduce authentic spare parts; the research of historical images
related to classic Lamborghini cars; certification of the exact number of cars
produced of each model and variant; and the definition of color codes for
classic Lamborghini interiors and exteriors.
“The appointment of this two-tier committee is an important facet of the
Lamborghini PoloStorico operation,” says Stefano Domenicali. “The
PoloStorico committee system safeguards the accurate documentation and
archiving of Lamborghini’s important manufacturing history and ensures our
heritage is of the highest integrity and credibility. This in turn supports the
certification of Lamborghini historic cars; another important role of
PoloStorico.”
