Lamborghini and Cirque du Soleil teamed up on March 22, at the Bellagio Hotel Las Vegas around a one-off Cirque du Soleil performance celebrating World Water Day. Lamborghini joined forces with One Drop, a charitable foundation started by Guy Laliberte (founder of Cirque du Soleil), to raise awareness and funding for water-related issues facing millions of people worldwide. One Drop’s mission is to make clean water accessible to all people across the globe, today and forever.

Lamborghini’s participation started the day before with a 22-mile drive from Lake Las Vegas to the Bellagio paying tribute to the challenges faced by those in developing countries to gain access to clean water.

With an Aventador in the actual performance and an Aventador Roadster on display just outside the theatre, Lamborghini proudly supported the entire event with the highlight being an all-new Aventador Roadster raising over $130,000 during the online auction for One Drop!



With a final bid of $610,000 the generous winner of the auction is no stranger to the Lamborghini brand. Diko Sulahian, founder and owner of WTW Corp has had quite a collection of Lamborghinis. The One Drop Aventador Roadster will actually be his 10th bull as the list show below:

- 2002 Murcielago Coupe
- 2004 Gallardo Coupe
- 2006 Gallardo Spyder
- 2007 Murcielago LP 640 Coupe
- 2008 Murcielago LP 640 Roadster
- 2011 Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder
- 2012 Aventador LP 700
- 2012 Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder
- 2012 Aventador LP 700

Congratulations Diko, we are looking forward to see this LP 700-4 Aventador Roadster in Orange County down PCH!

On Friday April 5th, Lamborghini Newport Beach donated a weekend in a Gallardo Spyder to help raise funds at the Neptune's Ball, a CdM Foundation event.



The Neptune's Ball auction and dinner event is taking place every other year in order to raise fund for the Corona Del Mar High School, one of the top ranked school in the nation.


The 400+ attendees started gathering at 5.30pm at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach where they were able to enjoy drinks and appetizers while bidding on the many silent auction items displayed in the courtyard. At the center of it, a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder which will later be part of the live auction.


Around 8.00pm the guests were invited to take a seat in the ballroom to enjoy a delicious dinner and participate in the live auction. A wide variety of items were now on the block to raise money for the CdM Foundation, ranging from a reserved parking spot for this year's Graduation to a 3-day weekend at the Pelican Hill Resort.

The auctioneer opened the live auction with a $50 bill. Starting at $1, it ended up reaching $1,100!
Closing the night was the item donated by Lamborghini Newport Beach: a weekend in a Gallardo Spyder! After an epic bidding war the Gallardo raised $6,500 for the CdM Foundation.


The live auction raised over $100,000 which should be matched by the silent auction items for a total of $200,000+.

We want to thank the CdM Foundation for including Lamborghini Newport Beach in their fundraising event and we are looking forward to extend our support to the Corona Del Mar community for future events.
