INSPIRING INDONESIA !
LAMBORGHINI MADURA

AFTER PORCHE USED THE INDONESIAN WORD MACAN IN 2014 (PRONUNCIATION ; MACHAN/MATJAN - THAT MEANS TIGER ), THE NAME MADURA WILL ALSO BECOME FAMOUS AFTER BEING CHOSEN BY LAMBORGHINI AS THE NAME OF ITS NEW LUXURIOUS CAR SERIES THAT WILL LAUNCH IN 2016.

MADURA IS THE NAME OF AN ISLAND IN INDONESIA,  OFF THE NORTHEASTERN COAST OF JAVA. THE ISLAND IS ADMINISTERED AS PART OF THE EAST JAVA PROVINCE WITH SURABAYA AS THE CAPITAL . IT IS SEPARATED FROM JAVA ISLAND BY THE NARROW MADURA STRAIT.  THIS ISLAND IS   FAMOUS FOR BEING A SALT PRODUCER, THEIR FAMOUS CUISINES LIKE SATE (SATAY) MADURA AND SOTO ( SOUP ) MADURA,  BATIK WITH SPESIFIC PATTERN AND STRONG COLORS AND ALSO HAVE MANY BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SCENERY INCLUDING VARIOUS TRADITIONAL DANCES AND MUSICAL TRADITION.

ANOTHER THE  MOST FAMOUS   CULTURAL ACTIVITY FROM THIS REGION  IS KARAPAN SAPI  MEANS  BULL RACE.  IT’S  BULL-RACING COMPETITION  WHERE A JOCKEY, USUALLY A YOUNG BOY, RIDES A SIMPLE WOODEN SLED PULLED BY A PAIR OF BULLS OVER A COURSE OF ABOUT 100 METERS IN TEN TO FIFTEEN SECONDS. 

THE RACE POWER IS AN  ILLUSTRATION OF  BRAVE, SKILLS AND SPEED ACTIVITIES INSPIRED A MUNICH UNIVERSITY 21 YEARS OLD STUDENT NAMED SLAVCHE TANEVSKY TO MAKE A SKETCH FOR A NEW CAR SERIES OF LAMBORGHINI.  

HE FOUND THE NAME WHILE HE WAS SEARCHING FOR THE NAME OF THE MOST FAMOUS BULL ON THE INTERNET.  "WHEN I LOOK FOR THE FAMOUS BULL, BULL RACES, SUDDENLY APPEARED THE NAME OF MADURA," HE SAID.

THE SKETCH

REGARDING THE CAR, WHICH TAKES THE CONCEPT OF A HYBRID ENGINE CAR PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DESIGNER TANEVSKY, LAMBORGHINI AND AUDI FOR LAMBORGHINI'S RAW MATERIALS PROJECT, HEADED BY PROF. DR. OTHMAR WICKENHEISER.

"MADURA WILL BE PROPOSED FOR LAMBORGHINI'S FIRST HYBRID CAR SCHEDULED FOR 2016. TO BE MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE FRIENDLY TO THE ENVIRONMENT, NOT THE MEANS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE LOOK TO BE UNATTRACTIVE, UNSIGHTLY AND NOT FAST. BUT IN MY OPINION THIS NEW DRIVE SYSTEMS (HYBRID ) SHOULD REPRESENT THE VIEW OF VEHICLES .......SAID TANEVSKY AGAIN!

LAMBORGHINI SURE KNOWS  ABOUT INDONESIA,  BECAUSE SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BY CHRYSLER THEN HAVE A FINANCIAL TROUBLE, TWO  INDONESIAN  ENTREPRENEURS   TOOK OVER THE OWNERSHIP FOR SOME TIME IN THE 90s.
