KUALA LUMPUR: Lamborghini Owners Malaysia (LOM) is aiming to set a new Malaysian Book of Records entry for largest gathering of Lamborghini supercars in Kuala Lumpur next month.
The previous record of 77 Raging Bulls assembled was made nine years ago.
Set against the glittering Kuala Lumpur skyline, LOM members will be revving up their engines to assemble at KLCC’s open-air car park in front of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on June 11 from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
This event aims to recapture the excitement from 2013's groundbreaking drive as well as marking the eagerness of LOM members to return to travel and navigate the idyllic highways of Malaysia after a period of isolation.
LOM president Datuk Roslan Rosdi said the timing of the event could not be more appropriate.
“Throughout LOM’s history, we have organised many events, be it short day trips or long overnight drives, where on many occasions they involve a charity element, mostly making donations to orphanages and taking them for a ride in our cars for some excitement.
“As we can all gather now safely, we wanted to celebrate the joy of a leisurely drive and will be doing so by attempting to break the record set nine years ago as part of Lamborghini’s legendary 50th anniversary drive,” said Roslan at the announcement event.

The record-breaking event also includes a drive element for LOM members as well as a trip to the Chateau, Bukit Tinggi where a gala dinner, dubbed Bulls Ball, will be held.
LOM Organising Committee chairperson Datuk Rakesh Sachdev said four charities would be honoured at the gala dinner.
“Our goal is to raise a minimum of RM40,000 from our members and partners,” said Rakesh.
Sachdev also said the biggest challenge for the attempt was aligning the timing of Lamborghini owners who were all captains of the industry.
“Our members however were more than happy to gather for a good cause,” he said.
Fans of the House of the Raging Bull are also invited to view and appreciate vintage, rare variants, and the latest Lamborghini supercars such as the Gallardo MLE, Huracan Spyder, Urus SUV and Aventador SVJ which are expected to make an appearance.
At the announcement event, LOM also unveiled their ‘LOM Preferred Partner’ programme which features collaborations and exclusive lifestyle offerings from restaurants, luxury hotels, and high-end fashion boutiques.
Established in 2014, LOM started with 50 members but the club for Italian car aficionados boasts 150 loyal members today.
Partners for the event include CERES Fine Jewelry, ODR Lubricants, Pernod Ricard Malaysia, Apollo Men's Wellness Center, Dr. SHEVA, Muscle Mania Club, Quantum Metal, Roger Dubuis, BarTheHood, The StarHill, Double Creative, The Marinis Group, Tarbush Restaurant, Nextdor Property Communications, X-Factor Events, Big Ass Fans, DMY, Sauda Gold, EGLAF, Phatjuice, Chic Ole, Morion, Rhythm Productions, Vivo, WrapXpert, LFR and EliteSoft ODR.
