May 22, 2014
The FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) World Cup is a popular football competition. Football, or soccer as its known in the United States, involves two teams facing each other, with the ultimate goal of maneuvering a soccer ball into the goalie net.
The championship takes place every four years and has been around since the early 1900s. The last tournament was held in South Africa, and Spain came out on top out of the thirty-two teams that usually compete. Fiercely competitive, fans of the World Cup are extremely intense, and strongly support the teams that come from their countries. Some of the countries that have won include:
- Brazil
- Spain
- Italy
- England
The World Cup is an incredibly popular sporting event, with an international audience totaling over 700 million viewers. The top players in the World Cup are global superstars and celebrities. British football player David Beckham may be the most famous football player in the United States, married to ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, he has played in three World Cups. In May of 2014 the World Cup is scheduled to happen again in Brazil. In the future it will be held in Russia and Qatar.
The World Cup Themed Super Car
Because of the World Cup’s high profile and global appeal, it only seemed like a matter of time before a super car would be debuted. In this case the super car is a World Cup themed Lamborghini that prominently features some of the biggest World Cup Stars, such as Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a Portuguese football player who is routinely the subject of media attention for his personal life as well as his tremendous athletic talent.
The super car has Brazilian-themed colors and features Ronaldo a long with fellow football stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Standing Out From The Crowd
In the world of super cars, which feature the cream of the crop in sporting and exotic cars, it’s hard to stand out. Each super car is a work of art, impeccably designed and built to be aesthetically stylish and exceptionally fast. They are in limited production and are coveted by wealthy people, because of the social status and wealth associated with them. So it only seemed inevitable that the world of super cars would pay homage to the mega-popular World Cup.
London has recently been named as the city with the most billionaires, and it lived up to its reputation by being the city where the World Cup themed super car first made its debut, in celebration of the upcoming World Cup.
Custom Themed Wrap
The super car is a Lamborghini Aventador and is owned by Yianni Charalambous. Branded as outlandish by some observers, it nonetheless has caused a social media and global stir. In a sea of uber-stylish super cars this one stands out because of it’s brightly colored, Brazilian-inspired wrap, which features a who’s who of top football stars.
A vehicle wrap is composed of custom-printed vinyl that is applied to the surface of a car. Vehicle wraps are popular, because they are cost-effective and versatile. Any type of graphic can be printed on them in full, vivid detail and applied to the surface of the vehicle. The end result is a surface so seamless it looks like it was painted on. And in Yianni Charalambous’ case, if he ever wants to remove the wrap, he can do so without damaging the paint of the Lamborghini.
Vehicle wraps have been popular because of their striking visual presentation, as evidenced by the attention Yianni’s wrap has received. They are also easy to apply and remove. Yianni’s super car has only served to fan the international excitement football enthusiasts feel about the start of the World Cup sporting event.
