 Police chase puts brakes on Lambo unveiling in NYC The unveiling of the new Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to a group of wealthy guests at Manhattan Motorcars was nearly put on hold by a police chase in New York. Gianluca Siciliano, a Lamborghini employee from Italy, was caught speeding 85 mph on Route 1 North. Siciliano accelerated past 100 mph, and police stopped their pursuit. Siciliano then stopped for a coffee at a nearby gas station, and was spotted by another group of officers. He was arrested and the car was impounded. Attorney Roy Macaluso said Siciliano is a good man in a foreign country who made a mistake, and should be treated as such. Macaluso, who is getting a Gallardo himself, said, “Officially, Lamborghini doesn’t condone unlawful behavior. But if this demonstrated the car’s performance capabilities, maybe it will help with sales.” Although the car never made it to Manhattan Motorcars, none of the wealthy guests noticed, because Lamborghini had another car flown in from Germany.
