Kartal Auto recently had the honor of working on the interior design restoration for the iconic Lamborghini Espada in Dubai. As one of Lamborghini’s most celebrated grand tourers, the Espada boasts a unique and timeless interior that blends luxurious comfort with sophisticated design. Our team was entrusted with enhancing and restoring the car’s interior, ensuring that every detail was meticulously crafted to preserve its vintage charm while modernizing certain aspects for a refreshed experience. Below are the key issues we encountered and the solutions we provided to ensure the Lamborghini Espada’s interior design was as exquisite as its performance.
Key Issues Found and Solutions:
- Aging Dashboard and Instrument Cluster
The dashboard of the Lamborghini Espada had lost some of its luster over time, with faded materials and worn-out controls that detracted from the overall appeal of the interior.
Solution:
Our experts carefully refinished the dashboard with high-quality materials that closely matched the original design. We restored the instrument cluster with attention to detail, replacing any faded gauges and ensuring that all buttons, switches, and dials were functioning properly. The result was a restored dashboard that maintained its classic aesthetic while offering a renewed, premium feel. - Outdated Upholstery and Trim
The upholstery and interior trim, including the door panels and center console, had suffered from wear and tear, with signs of cracking, fading, and general deterioration. The trim’s finish no longer reflected the high-end nature of the Lamborghini brand.
Solution:
We reupholstered the seats, door panels, and center console with top-tier materials, using high-quality leather and fine stitching to revive the car’s luxurious feel. The trim was restored with precision, incorporating polished wood accents and soft-touch materials that respected the original design while enhancing comfort and aesthetics. - Uncomfortable Seating and Poor Ergonomics
While the Lamborghini Espada was built for comfort, over time, the seats had lost some of their structural integrity and comfort, especially given the car’s performance-oriented nature.
Solution:
We revamped the seating with a focus on both comfort and performance. By adding more supportive padding and redesigning the seat shape, we ensured better ergonomics for longer drives while maintaining the car’s classic appearance. The new upholstery incorporated the same luxurious leather, matching the overall interior theme, while providing a more comfortable seating experience for both driver and passengers. - Outdated Technology and Controls
The Lamborghini Espada’s original technology and controls were outdated, which compromised the modern driving experience despite the vehicle’s timeless design.
Solution:
We integrated modern technology into the cabin discreetly, ensuring the Espada’s interior remained true to its classic style. Features like a modern audio system, discreetly integrated navigation, and climate controls were added, all while maintaining a vintage-inspired aesthetic. Our goal was to enhance the driving experience without sacrificing the Espada’s classic appeal. - Dull and Faded Carpets
The carpets in the Lamborghini Espada had faded and became worn due to years of use, impacting the overall luxury look of the cabin.
Solution:
We replaced the carpets with high-quality, custom-fitted options that matched the original design, ensuring a perfect fit and restoring the plush feel of the interior. The new carpets not only rejuvenated the look of the Espada’s interior but also provided a soft, comfortable surface for passengers.
