Get a window seat next time you fly from Italy, you might see a Lamborghini follow-me car

This Lamborghini Huracán is being used as a follow-me car at Bologna Airport in Italy.

Every airport in the world has follow-me vehicles, but there aren’t that many that can brag about using a Lambo for the job.

So, there’s today’s top tip for you.

If you ever happen to fly from Bologna, make sure you book a window seat, and you might be lucky enough to spot the Lambo at work.

This Lamborghini is probably the most spectacular follow-me car ever

A follow-me car is just a vehicle that is used by airport marshals to signal the pilot to keep turning, slow down, stop and shut down engines, and so on.

Most airports use small cars or vans, but Bologna is the capital city of Emilia-Romagna, which is Italy’s ‘Motor Valley’ region, and so the Lambo makes sense.

Lambo evidently loves working with Italian authorities, and vice versa, considering Italian armed forces also regularly use Lambos, including the Lamborghini Huracán, both for patrolling and also for emergencies.

Emilia-Romagna’s obsession with supercars

Emilia-Romagna is one of 20 regions in Italy, but it is by far the most relevant when it comes to supercars.

Maserati’s trident logo, for example, drew its inspiration from a statue of Triton in one of the main squares in Bologna.

Then there’s the fact that Pagani, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Ducati and Maserati were all founded around these parts.

Some people would also add Bugatti to the list, because the company that’s now French, Croatian and German (due to its ties with VW Group) was once headquartered near Modena.

Not to mention that Bologna Airport is probably the only airport in the world where you can land, go through passport control and then find yourself in front of some Lambos parked near the entrance.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Ferrari and Pagani, those brands aren’t Italian anymore.

Ducati and Lamborghini are owned by VW, Bugatti is owned by Rimac and Porsche, and Maserati is part of Stellantis, which has a corporate structure that’s so complicated most people give up and simply end up calling it ‘global’.

Technically, it is an Italian-American-French conglomerate headquartered in The Netherlands.

So there you go, if you drive a Maserati, you can always say you drive an ‘American-Italian-French-Dutch’ vehicle.
