duPont Registry Dedicates August issue to the best of Italian Beauty and Exotic Craftmanship

Murciélago LP640 Makes Its Cover Debut as Italian Cars Continue to Raise the Bar on Horsepower and Styling-hits newsstands August 12th

St. Petersburg, Fla. (July 12, 2006) - In its August 2006 issue, the duPont REGISTRY(tm): A Buyers Gallery of Fine Automobiles, an "elite marketplace" that provides affluent enthusiasts with some of the most luxurious autos in the world, offers an exclusive showcase of superior Italian design with their August issue. The special "Italian issue" debuts the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 sporting unique craftsmanship of the raging bull on its cover and its pages feature super cars such as the Italian bred Pagani Monza Race Car. The duPont REGISTRY of Autos August Italian issue hits newsstands on August 12th and is available for preview at www.dRAutos.com <http://www.drautos.com/> .

"Italian cars are once again raising the bar on horsepower and styling, as Lamborghini has made yet another evolutionary leap forward with the new 640-hp version of its dynamic Murciélago" says Tom duPont. "Other recent introductions include the Gallardo Spyder, which elegantly converts to its alfresco driving mode with a simple push of a button on the dash. This issue is full of the road-going works of art from Modena, Maranello, and Sant'Agata."

Cover Car - Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 (page 44)

Debuting on its first magazine cover of 2006, the Lamborghini LP640 is a tour de force delivering 640 horsepower from its 6.5-liter V12 with re-worked cylinder heads and intake, modified crankshaft, cams and exhaust. Capable of 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) in a mere 3.4 seconds, and a top speed of nearly 211 mph, Lamborghini's new flagship also turns heads with its more aggressive aerodynamic front bumpers, new taillight design and lowered rear diffuser panel. At a cool $270,000 it's the new poster child of exotic sports cars.

Pagani Monza Race Car (page 200)

Another stylish Italian-bred super car, this unique Pagani racer is the only one of its kind. Track-ready, with only test miles on it and capable of 600-hp from its AMG dry-sump engine, this carbon fiber chassis and bodied beauty is ultra-lightweight and plenty fast. Available with more than $100,000 worth of spare body parts and mechanicals, you can head to the front of the grid for $1.1 million.
