Reggiani Out (& Up), Mohr In at Lamborghini

Newsflash but no so unexpected I guess. Maurizio was a cool guy, very passionate and friendly to talk to. His enthusiasm was contagious whenever I spoke with him.

Nothing on the new guy, but Reggiani was perfect for that position. Litteraly one of the greats at Lamborghini.
