Abuse Of Lamborighini Murcielago

tonks — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:55:59 +0000

Anyone who can afford a Lamborghini or any type of supercar is going to make sure that nothing comes anywhere near it. By doing this they can make sure that it is always clean and that no scratch, dent, or physical impairment ever occurs. Accidents happen – but it is always disturbing to see physical abuse performed on any car.

Of course when it comes to the guys from Jackass you should expect anything both on and off the camera. They took things to a whole different level when they decided to jump on a $500,000 Lamborghini Murcielago. Of course this should never be done on any car – but to do it to this? We cringe just looking at it.

TMZ caught the whole thing on tape and reported that the car belonged to the men’s rap producer. This makes us wonder how angry he was and how soon he is going to drop them! Check out the video.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Sold For $270,000

tonks — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:05:54 +0000

When a new supercar comes home to roost in the good ol’ USA we can’t help but get excited even if it has already been snatched up by someone else. This time this supercar is much more then an Audi or Lexus. It rivals both of these as being one of the most powerful on the road.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder is one of the best looking supercars and one of the fastest that you will ever want to get behind the wheel of. In order to make it more noticed and to help others in the process it was decided that as soon as it left the Sant’Agata assembly line it would be put up for a auction in order raise money for charity.

Just any auction would not be able to do this car justice. It was put alongside many other beauties during the 16th Annual Race to Erase MS held in Los Angeles. In plain view of dozens of stars who can’t wait to get their hands on it.

The Gallardo was a striking black with orange accents. The new owner is Kymberly Gold of True Religion Jeans as well as Victor Newman – a music producer. The two paid $270,000 – which is more then $50k over the listed price. All of the proceeds from the auction went to the Nancy David Foundation for MS. Over $2 million was raised.

Lookie: Lamborghini Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster

mdvaldosta — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:58:18 +0000

It’s official – we have photos of Lamborghini’s new limited run special of the Murcielago roadster, and they’re HOT. So hot, in fact, you’ll probably never see one.

With blistering performance, an with a 0-62 mph race clocking in at a cool 3.4 seconds – the 6.5L V12 engine makes use of every bit of the 650 monsterous horsepower it’s rated at, up from the 640 hp of the last Murciélago engine.

All I can say is wow, this is one bad bull…

This special edition Lambo will only be available in limited production (LP, duh) and can only be had in te Grigio Telesto exterior, a unique greyish paint with a special bright orange Arancio LP 650-4 decal plastered on the front spoiler and door sills – so that you can make sure everyone knows you just laid down an obscene amount of money on a car nobody’s probably ever gonna see besides looking at these pictures. The car’s so limited, only 50 models are slated to be built and no price is even mentioned (for those of which money is no option, obviously).

It may sound like we’re hatin’, but it’s much deeper than that. I just wanna drive one. And that’ll probably never happen. Well, maybe in a wet dream. Anybody have about $500k I can borrow?

Lamborghini Introduces New Personalization Options

tonks — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:36:35 +0000

Lamborghini will not be debuting the LP670-4 SV for many months now and they had already revealed the Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder in LA so what were they to do for the Detroit Auto Show this past weekend? They couldn’t come empty handed so they decided to show off some of their other creations.

In the center of their presentation were several examples of what their Ad Personam personalization program is and how it can be used. A blue LP640-4 and LP560-4 were on either side of a white 560 Spyder. All of these supercars were showing off the new satin paint colors that were designed for Lamborghini and referred to as matte-luster paint finish.

The personalized cars were painted in the new matte blue finish. Rumor had it that anyone who was able to bring forth a birth certificate that said their name was Matt Blue would be given the Lamborghini for free. Unfortunately no strange coincidences occurred and the supercar stayed put …for now.

The blue hue was not the only new color that Lamborghini wanted to show off. Lamborghini added three other colors to the personalization program that included a matte-luster black finish (Nero Nemesis), matte-white finish (Bianco Canopus), and matte-brown finish (Marrone Apus).

Garage Sale For Lamborghini Gallardo

tonks — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 19:38:38 +0000

It seems that people are constantly throwing garage sales in order to get rid of all their household junk that they have accumulated over the years. Usually we see people selling old clothes, toys, and even household items. Never before have we seen someone trying to sell a Lamborghini!

A seller from Melbourne, Australia posted a sign on his Lamborghini Gallardo that it was for sale. The Gallardo was on sale for $599,999.99 AUS – which means that it must have still been in good working order. It seems that the seller wanted to get rid of the Gallardo to make more room for his Porsches.

It didn’t take long for someone to snatch up the deserted Lamborghini. Someone who was able to burn through a wad of cash. At least we now know how to bring people in to our next garage sale. Now we just need to get our hands on an exotic car first.

Last Lamborghini Reventon Delivered

tonks — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:15:56 +0000

A few months ago we heard rumors that Lamborghini would be expanding the production of the impressive and highly coveted Lamborghini Reventon. Yet, it seems that for once an automaker was going to stick to their original plans and only produce a total of 20 of these supercars. Despite the popularity of them.

All 20 of these models were grabbed not long after Lamborghini announced the Reventon and reserved their copy after putting millions down. The very last model was rolled out of the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory and into the hands of the very excited new owner.

No doubt if someone was giving me a Lamborghini I would be through the roof and possible living in it! This new owner was described as “understandably delighted” though we wonder if that is enough of a description.

The supercar was sold to the customer through a dealership in Birmingham, England. This was the only Reventon that made it to the shores of the UK. The owner promises the people of England to drive it around everywhere to show off.

Luc Costermans Breaks Blind Speed Record With Lamborghini Gallardo

tonks — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 19:09:17 +0000

It isn’t often anyone of us has the chance to sit inside a Lamborghini Gallardo or even to take it for a drive. You can imagine that if anyone of us were given a chance we would automatically be able to take it from 0-100 in less then ten seconds. That is of course assuming that we are able to handle it well without much experience.

One man – Luc Costermans was given just this opportunity. But he had more to overcome then just the inexperience of not knowing how to handle one of these supercars. The man is blind and has been for four years.

But this doesn’t stop him from taking his dream ride. He borrowed an orange Gallardo (how we don’t know) to attempt to break the Blind Speed Record. Amazingly enough the record was indeed broken. In case you were wondering the Gallardo is still intact and no damage was caused to it. Luc managed to travel 192 miles per hour Saturday at the airstrip in Istres, France.

“I’m very, very happy. It’s a team effort,” Luc said after the run. Guillaume Roman was his co-pilot. We can only imagine the fear he must have felt during the ride and the relief he had when it was finished. Now the previous record breaker – Mike Newman – is hoping that he will be able to break the record at 200 miles per hour in a Keating TKR.

Check out the video of Luc’s run here.

Lamborghini Releases Interior Shots Of Estoque Concept

tonks — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:00:39 +0000

Lamborghini’s newest creation – the Estoque – is truly unique and something that many of us have no qualms when it comes to looking at it. We have seen pictures of the exterior of the new supercar and now Lamborghini is giving us a sneak peek at the interior.

The new four-door sedan from Lamborghini is full of luxury – which is something we expect no less from them. It actually seems that more work and details has been placed into the design then what was used for the Murcielago and Gallardo. Obviously we only have a few select pictures and we have to determine on our own how it all flows together.

There are large paddle shifters that work the e-gear transmission and two-tone creamy and grey white leather that covers pretty much the whole surface. If you look hard enough you can tell that there is a lot more space that allows for a Blu-ray player, television, and of course something that we crave more then anything – leg room!

Whether or not this is the final interior for the concept is yet to be seen. The Estoque was debuted at the Paris Motor Show so it may be that Lamborghini was not able to complete it to their specifications in enough time.

Full-Bodies Shots Of Lamborghini Estoque Concept

tonks — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:44:10 +0000

After weeks of only giving us teaser shots in anticipation for the newest Lamborghini Estoque concept the automaker has now decided to give us high-res shots that will show us every detail of the exterior of this new supercar. These pictures come a day before it is to be officially debuted at the Paris Motor Show.

The new concept was given the name Estoque – which is the name of a sword that was used by the Matador during a bull fight. It is listed as a mid-engine that is placed behind the front axle. The car itself sits just 4.43 feet high (very low). Yet, despite this Lamborghini promises that there is still enough interior space to allow four passengers because of the long wheelbase that is more then three meters.

Lamborghini has not decided whether or not this concept will go into production. They did state that it might lead to a third model in the line-up and come available with a variety of engines which might include a turbocharged V8, a V8 with hybrid mode, and the V10 from the Gallardo LP560-4.

Sketches For Lamborghini Estoque Concept Released

tonks — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:47:32 +0000

It’s been a little bit since we have seen anything new come from Lamborghini. That streak ended when a few teaser shots were released of the new Estoque model. The new concept is four doors and rumor has it the Italian automaker will be showing it off during the Paris Motor Show next month.

These sketches were found posted on a new thread in FerrariChat. Unfortunately this means that these sketches could be a fake. However, they do show a few elements that we noticed from the official teaser shot that was released by Lamborghini.

The good thing is we will be able to compare these sketches with the real thing very soon because this week is the Paris Motor Show. There we are sure to bring you more photos of the concept and hopefully more details and specifications.
