Besides, the super-car is also adorned with the tri-colour stripes that run through the entire length of the car, from its front bonnet to the roof and the engine bonnet.

"From the time Lamborghini established itself in India, I have seen a new segment of buyers for our cars and the market is only growing," said Shetty, adding, the company has so far sold 90 super luxury cars since it entered the domestic market in 2006.

"In the last two years alone, we have sold 31 units. In 2011, Lamborghini sold 14 cars here while in 2012 even a higher number at 17 cars," Shetty said.

The car also features a predominantly black interior design with stitching on the driver's seat in Verde Ulysse (green) and passenger seat in Arancio Leonis (orange) while the stitching on doors, centre console and dash board in Bianco Polar (white).
