The Sharpie Lamborghini: When Paint Just Wont Cut It.

Normally when you want a car to stand out visually, the idea of a custom paint job comes to mind, often using colors not usually offered in a manufacturers paint brochure. Some paint jobs feature airbrushed designs that look like they'd be more at home on someones forearm. Others feature custom flames or tribal graphics.

But what if your different? What if the idea of using paint comes off as too played out to you? What if you want to go a different route in changing the look, to ensure that no other car will match it? A Miami car dealership owner thought just that, and when his idea was finished......it looked like this...


This is the "Sharpie Lamborghini", quite possibly the only one of its kind in the world. It was the brain child of Brett David, CEO of Prestige Imports, a Miami based luxury car dealership. David, wanted to create a car that would challenge the established beliefs of the custom car world.

Starting with a silver Lamborghini Gallardo, he commissioned a local graffiti artist, who created a custom design from bumper to bumper, including the windows. What separated this from other custom paint jobs was that it was done, as its name implies, entirely with Sharpie ink.

Since its debut in 2007, the Sharpie Lamborghini has been the official mascot for Brett David's Lamborghini of Miami dealership and has appeared at numerous car shows including the Palm Beach Supercar weekends. Its definitely a one off car, and one that i don't see being duplicated anytime soon.
