MCLEAN, Va., May 2, 2007 -- Yellow Lamborghini Gallardo. Three words that conjure a universe of images and emotional reactions -- razor-sharp headlights, deep side air intakes, long edgy lines of bodywork, a hundred cell phone cameras flipped open as one drives by.

No wonder Capital Dream Cars, Washington, DC's premier exotic car rental service, is pleased to announce the Lamborghini Gallardo as the latest addition to its fleet of world-class rental automobiles.

"The hard-top, E-Gear transmission Lamborghini is a nice complement to our manual Ferrari convertible and tiptronic Bentley coupe," says Jumi Kim, Founding Partner of Capital Dream Cars. "Whether you want a coupe or convertible, a manual, semi-automatic or automatic transmission, we have a dream vehicle for every preference, season and occasion."

Inspired by the design of modern fighter jets, the Gallardo is muscular and dynamic in styling and performance. It isn't called a SantAgata' raging bull for nothing. The Gallardo boasts a 5.0 liter, V10 engine that produces 500 horsepower and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. And, yet, it is also a remarkably balanced vehicle with a drive some have even dared to call smooth.

The Gallardo's interior is a sleek black that Motor Trend magazine calls "the best cabin ever bolted and stitched into a Lamborghini...an exotic-car cockpit that you'll actually want to ride in." It is equipped with power seats, heated seats/floor mats/exterior mirrors, on-board computer, coming home function, 19" alloy wheels, and silver brake calipers.

A Lamborghini of Washington spokesman states, "Five thousand Gallardos can't be wrong. Style, performance and fun are why the Gallardo is the most successful Lamborghini ever built and one of the most popular sports cars today."

In other words, be warned: when driving this car, attention comes standard.

Capital Dream Cars is Washington, DC's premier exotic car rental company, providing only the finest marques for rent: red Ferrari 360 Spider, metallic gray Bentley Continental GT, and metallic yellow Lamborghini Gallardo on a self-drive basis; white or silver Rolls-Royce Phantom and blue or black Maybach on a chauffeured basis. Capital Dream Cars also offers corporate incentives and programs, such as the exclusive Prince Michel Package or thrilling Power Tour-a driving tour of rural back-roads in the Ferrari, Bentley and Lamborghini.
