Aventador Roadster 'faster than jet ' - official
Lamborghini takes over Miami airport to prove a pointless point
Our invitation must have got lost in the post or something.
Anyway, why did they do this? Um. Well. Because it proved that the Aventador can go faster than the typical take-off speed (150-180mph) of the airliners that can usually be found there, apparently the busiest airport for international flights in the US. Or so boasts the press release.
Skinny-suited Lambo boss Stephan Winkelmann was suitably thrilled about this very public maxing out of the new Aventador Roadster, saying he could "think of no better place to celebrate its launch" than Miami. If you beg to differ feel free to suggest alternatives below.
Pressed for a comment Ken Pyatt, deputy aviation director for Miami-Dade, said, "Both our organisations are focused on efficient performance and providing our customers with innovations." Suggesting he'd perhaps stumbled into the wrong press conference. Or was as confused as the rest of us as to the need for Lamborghini to prove this point.
Due to integrated planning on behalf of Miami-Dade officials and the FAA, there was no impact on flight arrivals and departures.

Since when did anything Lamborghini do need to have a point to it?

PH reported it!
Is the selling point that a Lambo doesn't take off at 150mph? If so I suggest they look back through the press cuttings at their own legendary Muira, which ironically and memorably did take off at 150mph (at the front end) and had to be redesigned to stop it happening.
As others have said, lots of things do 150-180mph. A fridge off a cliff for example.
