Let's find out a little more info about her Lamborghini Huracan, Lucy...
Lamborghini Huracan
The Lamborghini Huracan is a sports car manufactured and produced by Italian manufacturer, Lamborghini, replacing the previously offered Gallardo, Lambo's best selling model with over 14,000 units produced.
The Huracan made its debut at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, and was released in the second half of the 2014 year. It comes with a 610 metric horsepower and 4-wheel drive, influencing the LP 610-4 designation.
Specs
The Huracan keeps the 5.2-liter Audi/Lambo V10 engine from the previous Gallardo, generating a max power output of 610 PS. To make sure that it maintains balance while still being a high-performing vehicle, the car is mid-engined, with the engine between the rear and front axles.
The engine contains both direct fuel injection and multi-point fuel injection, combining the benefits of each to create the characteristics of a V10 engine. The acceleration of a Huracan can go from 0-60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds, showcasing the raw power and speed of this vehicle.
Blondie's Huracan
Supercar Blondie first showed off her customized Lambo on her Facebook page on January 15, 2019. She mentioned how she named her personalized vehicle "Lucy", and stated that she was hand-painted for 3 weeks to achieve the custom look. She loves that her car is loud, easy to drive and maneuver, and looks aggressive and stylish.
She used Cardip UAE and Carbonov Design to create the exterior designs and paint job. Cardip UAE is an auto care company specialized in auto care services like detailing, window filming, and ceramic coatings. It also uses the technology of peel-able paint for specialized designs. It uses high-end products for its vehicles, and was launched in Dubai in 2017 due to the high volume of potential customers.
Carbonov Design was created by Dmitriy, the founder, and provides automotive design services concentrating on how to incorporate one's personality, creativity, and unique style into one, comprehensive look. He can restyle any car, yacht, or aircraft, to provide customization to any person's mode of transportation.
The Sale
Supercar Blondie posted about putting her Lambo up for sale on February 26, 2020 at Al-Ain Class Motors. There were many comments on her Facebook post and Twitter post, wondering why she would sell the car. Even Supercar Blondie mentioned it is one of the best cars she has ever owned, so people were left guessing...
Until she posted on her Facebook a few weeks later in March. She had mentioned in the comments that she was going to be involved in a big project. Unfortunately, the project she had been working on got "axed."
The Bugatti Atlantic
The project involved the making of a Bugatti that was supposed to be entry-level and cheaper than the Bugatti Chiron. She called this the "secret Bugatti" that was never made. The whole car opens up from the rear trunk, showcasing where the engine would normally be. Instead the engine has been moved to the front, and the rear holds Bugatti luggage.
The front of the vehicle has butterfly doors, a twin-turbo V8, or a fully electric engine, a center reference line that references a 1930 Bugatti (the most expensive in the world) that was sold a few years ago for $24 million.
