In June, the one and only Lamborghini opened a new high tech carbon fiber research lab in Seattle. I was excited to cover the ribbon-cutting event for Centigrade Inc. as CEO Stefano Domenicali joined with Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee in announcing the grand opening, and excited again to be asked to edit a sizzle reel for Lamborghini's web site.

It's amazing what they're working on in the lab.  You can see in the video a snippet of a new carbon fiber fabric that Lamborghini will actually use in the interior of one of their cars instead of leather.

It was also fun to have my former Microsoft colleague Craig Mathewson join me, since Craig and I are veterans of many years of Detroit Auto Show coverage for MSN Autos from years back.

Many thanks to Perry Stern and the crew of Automotive Content Experience, as well as Kevin Fisher of Centigrade!
