Gotta love the Ferrari booth — you cross the threshold and it’s like wandering backwards into adolescence. I mean, Ferraris and hot chicks! DUDE! This could be your bedroom. If you shut your eyes you can almost see Kathy Ireland mounted (ha!) next to a Countach Testarossa poster. And if you’re in your 20s now you [...]
You already know we’re big fans of the kind of crazy that says “Hey, I could build one of those.” You may remember the kid who cranked out a hand-built Ariel Atom before heading off to college. It’s true that guy deserves some serious respect, but that little project pales in comparison to Ken Imhoff’s [...]
Just to make y’all even more jealous, the Autofiends Los Angeles office will be taking possession of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 this Thursday. Hopefully in lime green. Now, I’ve known about this car for weeks and every once in a while I stop thinking about it. But, that’s rare. And if you think about it, [...]
Yes, another day of Tanner Foust’s European Vacation filming for Speed Channel’s Supercars Exposed and he’s not slowing down. But he is still blogging for us. Sure, today’s a slightly easier day than yesterday, but for us non-international automotive superstar Fiends yet another that we’d sell our sister for — a private tour of an [...]
Not just any wall, mind you. No, this perfectly good 1984 Lamborghini Countach is being hung on Richard Moriarty’s wall. Who? You know, Richard Moriarty, heir to Orange County’s South Coast Plaza fortune. First he removed the engine and built a “200 mph Coffee Table” for guests that like their drinks (coffee?) “shaken not stirred.” [...]
Jonny put this one after the jump on the Balboni story, but its not to be missed for the lazy few out there so I’m giving the vid its own post. Includes classic quotes (cue Italian accent): “This white car is like a beautiful virgin…” and “You must have only a beautiful woman and that’s [...]
The thing about good things is, you can never have too much, despite what the naysayers naysay. You know who knows this better than any man alive? Valentino Balboni. Who? Valentino Balboni has been Lamborghini’s chief test driver since 1973. Seriously, does a cooler job exist? I’ve met Dodge’s chief Viper test driver, and while [...]
As my bio states, I’ve had a poster of a Countach on my wall since I was a kid. Still do. Why? Because the Countach is the most bonkers, bat guano car of all time. Put more intelligently, despite it’s shortcomings (tractor clutch) the Countach is a near-perfect distillation of the Lamborghini brand. Mad, untamed, [...]
We’re generally not fans of SUVs. They’re too slow, too heavy and they handle like a scuba tank on a boat deck. Never mind that their environmental footprint is much larger than a car’s, sport utility vehicle’s enhanced bulk will suck your wallet dry faster than my best stripper metaphor. However, there are a few [...]
