Just two weeks ago, Sergio and I were discussing privately how brilliant we found the short films what Kidston Productions they were uploading to their channel Youtube During last year. Classic cars, original ideas, actors who stood out and minutes of unpublished content for all of us who love the world of motorsports and motorsports, with many nods to the seventh art.
Yes ‘The Portofino Affair‘ was spectacular, the simplicity and emotion of ‘The Final Act‘ they were able to tear a tear from our sensitive hearts watching how that Lamborghini Miura, abandoned after the death of its owner, left what was his home looking for a new owner. However, other masterpieces like ‘Wolf of the Autostrada‘, in a mix of winks between Cannonball and the ‘Wolf of Walstreet’, as well as the ‘C’était une urgency – Racing against Coronavirus in Rome‘, with which they replicated the Parisian ‘C’était un rendezvous’, have gone much more unnoticed despite their quality.
As with ‘The Girardo & Co’, Kidston has a website that sells classic cars and one of the marketing strategies is precisely to show them in their videos. That is why we have not been surprised to see a luxurious and exclusive Lamborghini LM002 in one of their latest productions… Perhaps the craziest of all the ideas they have carried out.
K-IDEA (Lamborghini LM002) -Kidston Productions:
With the notes of one of the eighties hymns in the background, specifically that of ‘Ma quale idea’ by Pino D’Angio, the story that he tries to tell us is that of how a wealthy and eccentric owner of a Range Rover chooses the SUV of the from Sant’Agata Bolognese to overcome a tricky section in the Swiss snow in the mountain town of Gstaad. From there we find a spectacle of Skids with the Lamborghini LM002 without any justification with music and with an ending that matches the grandeur of the rest of the video. Characterization, sense of humor, even the Lamborghini, everything is perfect.
The Lamborghini LM002 is in its own right one of the great automobile myths. Equipped with the 5.2 liter V12 engine of the Lamborghini Countach and its impressive 450 CV, it was one of those models that oozed ‘excess’ on all four sides, to the point that a set of Pirelli tires specifically designed for this vehicle reached 17,000 euros, while fill your disproportionate fuel tank it would lighten your bank account by 500 euros and, even so, nothing assured you of being able to cover great distances due to the voracious appetite of its engine.
