Record number of Lamborghinis to convoy through Ireland next weekend

Alexa, show us a physical embodiment of the boom being back...

Pulling up in a lambo isn't typically an activity Irish people partake in - we're loyally bound to our Skodas and the odd Yaris, and apart from the herd of Range Rovers trundling through South County Dublin we play it fairly safe and standard when it comes to car choices. Which is why a flock of Lamborghinis cruising from one end of the country to another is sure to draw a crowd, giving car enthusiasts a chance to see the luxury vehicles up close. The convoy is part of Cannonball, a charity event organised for next weekend with all funds raised going to The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
