The Only AE Edition Matte Black Lamborghini LP650-4 In The World 1/1
What started off as a limited edition car ended up as 1/1 in the world!
First off I would like to thank the following people that were behind the scenes and really helped make this project happen.
The owner of the car, Matthew Vazana & Michael Gunsberg from Beverly Hills Lamborghini, the complete Ogara Coach Company crew, RCH Designs for their great photo studio work, Craig Lieberman and Jason from Imaginate Media who did an amazing job putting this short documentary video together for us to enjoy and my complete crew at Al & Eds Autosound in West Hollywood, CA.
When the owner of this Lamborghini LP650-4 car # 2/50 and Beverly Hills Lamborghini approached me with the concept of transforming a limited edition car to make it the only one in the world I could not resist this once in a lifetime opportunity.
What started off as a limited edition car ended up as 1/1 in the world! All the LP650-4 cars came one way from Lamborghini with Grigio Telesto grey exterior paint and Arancio Leonis orange highlights. The owner of this car wanted the car matte black with gloss black highlights. This is how the transformation to become an AE Edition car began.
The car was transported by NTT (Norwalk Tow & Transport) to Avio Coach Craft to have the paint work done. The car was striped down to the metal and the complete interior was removed so that a proper complete paint make over could be achieved.
After the paint was completed the car was transported again by NTT to Giovanna Wheels to have the custom made 19” GFG 3-piece forged Narkid wheels and Pirelli tires installed. The wheels were painted with a gloss black outer lip, matte black center and orange highlights to perfectly match the brake calipers. Pirelli P-Zero 245/30/19 front and 355/25/19 rear tires were used to insure a safe and overall perfect fitment for this car.
From Giovanna NTT transported the car to Al & Eds Autosound in West Hollywood, CA for a custom one of a kind audiophile sound system. The factory speakers were replaced with Focal Utopia KIT 7 component 3-way speakers. These are the most expensive and best sounding speakers in the world! Keeping with the orange interior highlight theme we did not use the provided Focal speaker grilles but rather created new ones from orange carbon fiber and plexi glass.
Behind the passenger seat we fabricated a subwoofer enclosure using orange carbon fiber to accommodate a JL Audio 10W6 series subwoofer. All the speakers are powered by two Alpine PDX series amplifiers totaling over 1600 watts of power. These amplifiers were installed in the front bonnet of the car. Gloss black and orange material along with orange carbon fiber were used to completely redesign the area. Activated by a switch are orange LED lights that illuminate and really show off the install. To properly tune the system we also installed a Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.2 EQ processor that offered us 153 bands of equalization, time alignment all controlled by a laptop that connects via Blue Tooth. Monster Cable and Stinger wiring were used throughout the system.
To protect the owner from speeding tickets we installed an Escort SRX “Ticket Avoidance System”. The main controller was installed in the center console, the two front laser defusers we custom molded into the front grilles while the rear laser defuser was installed in the rear license plate frame. The visual indicator LED was installed on the steering column.
The car made its world debut in the Giovanna booth at the 2010 SEMA
