Lamborghini's Black and White Themed Gift Line



SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy — A black-and-white Christmas? Lamborghini eschews the traditional red and green for a lineup of gift items that match the black and white color scheme of the Gallardo LP560-4. They are designed for people who believe in "celebrating Christmas 'fast,'" the automaker says.

The Lamborghini gift selection includes three ceramic ornaments — one in Nero Noctis matte black, two in Mono Cerus matte white — priced at $71, and two slow-burning candles, one black and one white, for $56. Seat cushions with the Lamborghini logo embroidered on them ($40) are also sold in black and white.

"Younger Lamborghini fans" are targeted with a polar bear — not exactly the creature one imagines when thinking of Italy or sports cars — dressed in a black Lamborghini-logo sweater. They are priced at $33 for the small bear and $56 for the large. All prices are pretax.

Calendars and holiday cards are also available from the Collezione Automobili Lamborghini, as well as the year-round selection of clothing, accessories, office items and luggage with the Lamborghini logo on them.

All are available to order online, as well as from Lamborghini dealers.

Inside Line says: The "spirit of the world's most desirable super sports car," as Lamborghini puts it, is somewhat hard to find in this otherwise charming group of gifts. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent
