Tending the Garden With a Lamborghini

With the holiday season approaching, we’re faced with that annual dilemma: what to buy the Lamborghini owner who has everything?

This year’s answer: the Tonino Lamborghini electric chainsaw.

Too macho? Consider the Tonino Lamborghini grass trimmer. The shrub shears are also nice.

The German-made gardening tools are part of a licensing deal between the automaker and the German company IKRA Mogatec, which makes high-end gardening equipment.

Tonino Lamborghini, the son of Ferruccio Lamborghini, founder of Automobili Lamborghini, has previously created items like watches and golf carts, all sporting his family name. His company, Lamborghini Products, is based in Boca Raton, Fla.

The raging-bull motif is on each of the tools—no specs on horsepower or torque, although the chainsaw does have a 2,400-watt motor and automatic chain lubrication, which I guess is something like an oil sump. The saw costs a not-unreasonable $200.
