While re-watching the Mike Wallace segment.  Another YouTube segment popped up.  Enjoy!

Interesting to contrast the number of 'suits' with the number of them in the '87 video...   :grin:  Michael Lock is one of them shown.  He's actually better known in the motorcycle business but was at that time the boss of Lamborghini's US business.  Here's a more recent interview: https://www.cycleworld.com/5-questions-ama-pro-racing-ceo-michael-lock

In the interviews he's quoted as saying two things that I find interesting in relation to Lamborghini under VW:  in the 50th anniversary interview when working for them he says they needed to work on "creating the perception that Lamborghini is a friendly brand".  In the more recent Cycle World video he says more simply that "I hated the car business".   

I'd love to have a Countach, the earlier the better.

A nice quote for the Lamborghini factory...."Robots...No way".
