Lamborghini and Callaway Golf have announced a strategic partnership in an effort to share the resources of their world renowned Research and Development teams. The two companies celebrated the partnership announcement with the market introduction of a co-developed material referred to as Forged Composite. But the excitement didn't stop there...


A few days ago, Lamborghini and Callaway unveiled a new viral piece that features PGA Tour golfer Stuart Appleby competing in a head-to-head competition against a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 coupe at Sandown Racecourse. In the spot, Appleby tests whether he can drive a golf ball faster using a Diablo Octane club than a Lamborghini in a 250m competition. The viral serves as a terrific way for Lamborghini and Callaway to drive awareness and interest in the new Forged Composite material.
