Step into the heart of Lamborghini Polo Storico, where heritage isn’t just archived, it’s rebuilt, revived, and passed on. Celebrating ten years of preserving Lamborghini’s legacy, Polo Storico recently opened its doors to select international guests for an experience unlike any other.
This unique event didn’t just involve a tour. Participants were invited to work side by side with the department’s skilled technicians. From wrenching on a Miura to decoding chassis numbers in the Lamborghini archives, this was a full-circle journey into what makes Polo Storico a guardian of automotive legend.
A Deep Dive into Lamborghini Polo Storico
Since 2015, Lamborghini Polo Storico has been dedicated to keeping the brand’s history alive. It’s where classic models are restored to factory glory and authenticated for collectors. Whether it’s a Countach, LM002, or Diablo, every car tells a story, and Polo Storico ensures it’s told accurately.
To mark the milestone anniversary, Lamborghini created a truly immersive experience. Guests didn’t just observe, they became temporary team members.
Working with Lamborghini Legends
Each guest duo received a legendary machine: a 1967 400 GT 2+2, a 1990 Countach 25th Anniversary, a 2001 Diablo SE 6.0, or an early ‘90s LM 002. The first mission? Hit the roads of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany for a road test. With official checklists in hand, participants inspected each car as a Polo Storico technician would.
Then, it was time to head to the archives. In this quiet yet powerful part of the experience, participants matched VIN numbers, colors, and configurations with factory documentation. This step revealed how every detail matters in certification.
From Torque Wrenches to Carburetors
Things got even more hands-on in the workshop. A 1973 Lamborghini Miura SV from the official collection became the classroom centerpiece. Participants removed and re-mounted the front wheel using a vintage cast iron hammer and confirmed torque with modern tools.
But the real challenge came next. Under expert guidance, guests disassembled and reassembled a Weber twin-barrel carburetor from a Countach. It was a throwback to a time when precision mechanics ruled the road.
Pirelli and the Power of Preservation
Integral to this celebration was Lamborghini’s long-time partner, Pirelli. Their collaboration began in 1963 and continues today through the Pirelli Collezione, classic tires remade with modern safety and performance.
From the Cinturato CN12 for the Countach LP 500 prototype to the revived Scorpion BK for the LM002, Pirelli and Polo Storico ensure every restored car rolls authentically. Using materials and photos from the Fondazione Pirelli archives, they balance history with innovation.
More Than Restoration: A Cultural Commitment
This wasn’t just a celebration of mechanical skill, it was a tribute to the cultural weight these cars carry. By letting enthusiasts experience the restoration journey themselves, Lamborghini reinforced how deeply tied its identity is to its past.
The event showed how Polo Storico does more than preserve cars, it keeps alive the stories, the engineering philosophies, and the soul of Lamborghini.
Summary
Lamborghini Polo Storico’s tenth anniversary wasn’t just a celebration; it was an invitation into the sacred halls of automotive history. Guests walked away with oil on their hands and reverence in their hearts, having lived a day as part of Lamborghini’s living legacy.
