NO BULL: LAMBORGHINI TO NAME ITS CARS AFTER….WHAAAAT?

 

Renzo DeSpatula, Lamborghini’s Marketing Director, fights back tears

Head buried in hands, Lamborghini Marketing Director Renzo DeSpatula was enveloped in an air of despair.  

“Non so che cosa fare!” cried DeSpatula, which we think means, “Nuns eating cheese at the coast.”  

The reason for DeSpatula’s angst? The Sant’Agata-based automaker’s tradition of naming its sleek vehicles after fighting bulls is nearing an end.  

Yes, after an era of cars with bovine monikers including Muira, Murciélago, Aventador, Huracan and Urus, the running of the bulls is over. 

Late last week, Lamborghini announced that it has entirely exhausted its supply of bull names. And with a new hypercar about to make its debut, the timing couldn’t be worse.  

“Choices good few are there,” said DeSpatula, whose primary language is something other than English. 

An unnamed Lamborghini employee told Parksplug the company will abandon bovine names and switch to chickens instead, and said company officials have spent long days poring over the list of Italian chicken breeds on the website mypetchicken.com.  

“Right now, the name of choice for the new car is Pollo Veloce,” said the source.  

Pecking order:  The Pollo Veloce could become Lamborghini’s first car in recent years be named after a chicken rather than a bull
