After a hard working week you deserve a few moments of relaxation don’t you think? So, grab a beer and sit back! You will enjoy one of the most exlusive exotics on the road: the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
If this was a real car, we’d give it a few days before some wandering fool decides to pick off a piece of those crystals.
Fortunately, it’s nothing more than a scaled car model, although judging by the price tag it commands, it’s the type of toy you’d be crazy to take out of the box.
This diminutive Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 model was created by Maisto and it comes with a sparkling star-studded twist in the form of 7,688 Swarovski crystals embedded on the car. Shiny, isn’t it?
Before you salivate at the thought of buying you’re lady one of these – not that she’d care for the car but more so for the Swarovski – we have be the bearer of bad news and say that Maisto not only made 550 of these but they also only sell them in Europe. And, oh, by the way, one piece costs $2,500.
Forking over $2500 for a toy, albeit a Swavorski-embedded one, might be too much for a lot of people but we have to say that something like this doesn’t get released after every fortnight. So if you’re interested, you better get moving before stocks run out.
While the LP560-4 is the ultimate Gallardo out there, ENCO Exclusive found a solution to make it even meaner. The most impressive work was made under the hood, where after serious power treatment, the 5,2 liter V10 engine delivers a total of 620 hp and a peak torque of 575 Nm.
On the exterior Enco added a 100% carbon fiber front bumper with three large gills on each side, two additional carbon fiber finish aerodynamic components, GT3 side skirts, ultra-lightweight boot cover, rear diffuser, wing mirrors and air vents in the boot lid finished in carbon fiber laminate.
Enco also added carbon fiber inserts on the steering wheel, center console and dashboard.
Reporting about two crashed Lamborghini in just one day it is simply too much for us. But this is what happens when young people and drinking interfere. This time the accident happened in Switzerland while the driver, under influence, was racing with his friends.
They were driving a Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes Mclaren SLR, Porsche Cayenne Turbo and the Lamborghini Murcielago that apparently was rented.
The driver of the Murcielago lost control of his supercar (apparently at 220 km/h) and hit the Volkswagen Golf in front of him. After the impact the Golf hit the guardrail and his 70 years old driver is in hospital in serious condition.
After the breath test it resulted that the Murcielago’s driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.11% (the legal limit is 0.05%).
The series of crashed Lamborghini continue. This time a Murcielago found its death in London on Park Lane. No one was injured in the accident, except for the supercar that suffered serious damages: the bonnet, front bumper and passenger’s door of the left-hand drive are almost destroyed and the passenger’s airbag activated.
There are no exact words on what really happened, but it seems that the driver was leaving an underground car park on Park Lane, and crunched into a kerb.
Packing a monstrous 1500 horsepowered-engine, this Lamborghini Gallardo “Race Version” is unlike any Gallardo you’ve ever seen in your lifetime.
Fine-tuned by Underground Racing for one of its clients, the twin-turbo Gallardo – called the TTG – is the personification of a monster on wheels. While 1500 horsepower is staggering enough, if you account for the drivetrain loss, the horsepower should spike up even more to around 1900 hp. Staggering, isn’t it?
After completing the modifications, Underground Racing gave Jonah – the owner of the car – the keys to the wheels – so he could give his new amped up baby a ride. The result? A sub-ten second time through a quarter mile at speeds of well over 160 mph. Unbelievable!
Here’s a video of the TGG being undergoing the modifications. Hear that monster roar!
Among all of the states in the US, California holds the distinction of having the most exotics and supercars roaming around the streets. After all, the glitz and glamour that comes with being in California affords most people the moolah to get their hands on one.
So it comes with a tinge of irony that three of the biggest exotic makers – Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bentley – have all decided to skip the LA Auto Show
The news that three of the most prestigious manufacturers have decided to pass on LA when a spokesperson for the event told the Detroit Bureau that the decisions by Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini to skip LA hinged on the fact that they’ve decided to ‘put their resources to better use’.
Translation: “We don’t want to incur any unnecessary expenditures, like showing up for an event like the LA Auto Show.
You would think that releasing a calendar wouldn’t become such a high-profile occasion, because really, who really would go out of their way to dress up for a calendar presentation?
Well, if it’s the launch of the world-famous Pirelli Calendar, then the answer is a lot of people.
To celebrate the 37th edition of the famed calendar, a host of celebrities from all walks of life were invited to attend the premier of the calendar at Old Billingsgate, a 19th century building on the banks of the Thames River in London.
To make the occasion all the more extravagant, the organizers of the event used Lamborghinis to chauffer guests to and from the destination. Among the Lambos that were used during the event included a Murcielago LP670-4 SV, a Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, and the automaker’s newest toy – the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni.
To pay homage to the 37th edition of the Italian tire maker’s calendar, the Lamborghinis in attendance were outfitted with LED lights under the wheel arches to illuminate the Pirelli insignia stretched across the rubber.
For this year’s Pirelli Calendar, the tire makers chose American photographer Terry Richardson to photograph the models with the theme of ‘Brazil’ and using his uncanny talent and eye for provocative yet classy photos. Among the models that were immortalized on the pages of the 37th edition of the calendar include Australians Catherine McNeil, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Miranda Kerr, Marloes Horst of the Netherlands, the UK’s Lily Cole, Daisy Lowe, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Georgina Stojilijkovic of Serbia, Gracie Carvalho and Ana Beatriz Barros of Brazil and Eniko Mihalik from Hungary.
Lamborghini launched the Murcielago in 2001 and the Gallardo in 2003, and besides from a few other special editions the Italian company brought nothing new on the market.
Bu things are about to change as the Murcielago will be replaced next year with the all new Jota, a model built on an all-new carbon fiber chassis with carbon fiber and aluminum body and powered by a 6,0 liter V12 engine with direct injection that will deliver around 700 hp.
But besides it, Lamborghini will also bring a new supercar placed under it and most likely to be called Urus. It will be built on a modified version of the future Jota and will feature a full carbon fiber body. It will use a modified version of the V12 engine from the Jota that will now deliver up to 800 hp. With a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 second, Lamborghini will want the future Urus a serious competitor for the Ferrari FX70 (Ferrari’s replacement for the Enzo).
Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo - what is it all about? Racing of course! but there is another aspect about this trophy you do not know about! During each race an impressive number of supercars, expensive and exclusive supercars, are being killed!
