When Lamborghini saw this woman’s modified Aventador, it rewarded her with the ultimate surprise.
YouTuber Emelia Hartford had worked hard on taking her Lamborghini Aventador to the next level.
So when the Italian manufacturer asked to see it, she happily obliged.
And that’s when a huge surprise was presented to her which went beyond anything she could have expected.
Emelia Hartford is a YouTuber who knows her cars
On her YouTube channel, Emelia Hartford throws herself in at the deep end when it comes to cars.
Whether she’s working miracles on a fire damaged Porsche 911 GT3 or fixing up an abandoned Plymouth Superbird, she’s always getting her hands dirty in the best possible way.
What’s all the more special is when her hard work gets recognized by some of the heavy hitters in the industry.
You might recall that she got invited in to Ferrari to show off her modified 458, at which point she was given a stunning cash offer.
This time around, it was her modified Lamborghini Aventador that was in the limelight.
This was the very car that she put a F1 race exhaust onto, giving the Lambo a ferocious roar and a whole lot of flame.
Why Lamborghini wanted to see her Aventador
When Lamborghini reached out to Hartford and asked her to bring the modified Aventador into a dealership, she obviously accepted the invitation.
It was clear that her car was a big hit.
From the color to the wheel design, the Aventador was a true knock-out.
But this visit wasn’t all about lavishing the car with praise.
There was treat lying in store for Hartford, and believe us when we say it was worth her time.
The surprise that came next was sensational
Lamborghini had decided to bestow upon her a Revuelto, which she was give free rein to drive for a few days.
It was a surprise worth its weight in gold.
With more than 1,000hp and its four-wheel drive system, the Reveuelto is a monster of a supercar.
Plus, it is the first true hybrid that the company has produced.
“I haven’t felt that feeling since I was a child—of that butterfly feeling in your chest. I had to grab myself and I was like, ‘you’re fine, you’re fine, you’re fine’. That was incredible,” Hartford said.
“This is crazy that this is from [the] dealership. Like, my Aventador could never. This is the successor. This is crazy. A hybrid V12… this is nuts.”
There was just one problem – she really wanted one as her daily driver now.
