I was thumbing through Daytona Magazine–an automotive lifestyle book from Japan that I’m lucky to be on the comp list for, when I came across a story about these crazy miniature Lamborghini Murcielagos. We love Lambos here so took look a little further. Since I do not read Japanese I really don’t have too many [...]
I. In keeping with its LP6bazillion-4 formula, Lamborghini released a new Murcielago roadster. Called the Lp650-4, it’s got 650 stallions, 487 torques and no roof. If you want one, get in line and have your million bucks ready, they’re only making 50. [Source: 0-60]
I. In case your Murcielago doesn’t look enough like Kitt from Night Rider, Prindville Prestige has your solution. Decked in satin grey paint, more vents, a chunky rear diffuser, and some serious throwback grille slats, this is ’80s your Lamborghini was missing. Prindville also re-did the exhaust, which is about the only part of the [...]
I. Mercedes-Benz is readying a new Gullwing for this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. It’ll be ready for delivery sometime in mid-2010, with a base price around $250k. Dubbed the SLS, the new Merc retains the long hood and rounded rear proportions of the original 300 SL Gullwing. [Source: Autoweek]
By the end of the Detroit Auto Show we were able to run around and catch a few more of Detroit’s black sheep. Hidden away in the dark recesses of Cobo Center were the likes of high-dollar Bentleys, mega-muscle Lamborghinis and more than a few examples of American V8 gusto. Despite its inherent awesome, Ford’s [...]
Usually when my RSS reader starts beeping and flashing I contemplate why it is that I don’t pour bourbon in my coffee. But, once or twice a day we get an item like this from Jalop’s Wes Siler. Someone on FerrariChat told Captain Siler that they’ve seen the next big bull and knows all the stats. [...]
I have a texas-sizes [censored] soft-spot for road-going versions of race cars. It’s as if the builder and buyer are both getting away with something inherently illegal. And I like it. The latest track to road conversion comes from Reiter Engineering, the same team backed by Lamborghini the FIA GT Championships. Reiter reworked the Murcielago [...]
You liked the Lambo LP560-4 Spyder, yeah? But you liked Babes and Ferraris better, didn’t you? Filthy perverts. Regardless, you’re going to really enjoy Babes and Lambos! More babes, less cars. And… that’s all we got. We’re beat, done, tired, spent. Off to greasy chinese food, muscle relaxers and a squeaky mattress. Night (enjoy).
RaceChairs, a company in the Philadelphia area, is building office furniture that positively twists my brain. With office furniture normally being as exciting as chalkboard erasers, this is quite the coup in and of itself. What these folks have done, you see, is affix the seats out of exotic cars to high quality bases so [...]
A few days ago, I had a ride in the Lamborghini Murcielago, and it really nuked my mind. In his comments on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, Jonny (of riding in Enzo fame) told me “it could almost be a daily driver.” The Murcielago cannot. Even if your first name is Shah. Comparing the two, it [...]
