Does the name Robert Himler ring a bell? Perhaps not, but there’s a very good chance that you’ve seen the video of his mother freaking out while taking a ride in his flame-throwing, 1,250 wheel-horsepower, twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Gallardo.
The four-and-a-half minute-long video clip has garnered more than 2.7 million views since it was uploaded on Youtube on August 6.
The young entrepreneur from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who has a bachelor’s degree in Web Design & Development, has now come up with a new idea to bring some attention to his online projects including his YouTube channel and Razzi photo sharing website.
But we’ll let Robert do the explaining via the email he sent us:
“Basically in celebration of my 100th video I am holding a worldwide giveaway to fly in 5 people to experience my Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo. If they wish, I’m gonna film their reaction and post it on youtube like my Mom’s video that went viral a few months back.”
You can get more information about the competition at Lambocontest.com, but the skinny is that in order to participate, you’ll have to become a fan, follower or subscriber to one of his pages with the winners to be announced on March 1, 2012.
The drive will take place in Florida with Himler covering a one-way air-ticket to Orlando. While the competition is open to anyone in the world, keep in mind that according to the FAQs, “Returning flight, hotel arrangements, and the rest are on you”.
