The Ferrari 458 Italia you see here isn’t just your stock coupe. Underground Racing has fitted the 458 with its Stage One bolt-on twin-turbocharging system, bringing the Italia’s output up to a staggering 700 horsepower – at the wheels. Naturally, a race was in order.

There are literally hundreds of Lamborghini models of all ages and description at Concorso Italiano, so how does one stand out? Surely not with a bright color, as that would just blend in with the crowd. No, you go for a color that no one else has. Like brown.

Now, some will say that such a “boring” color doesn’t belong on an exotic car like the the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV. Others will say it’s more than acceptable. We think it’s awesome.

This car started out with a pearl white paint job, but the owner of the car, Cats Exotics, a dealer specializing in high-end sports cars, wanted it to match one of their other Lamborghinis, a Diablo 6.0 SE finished in brown. A matte brown wrap was created especially for the car, the wheels were changed to a gold finish, with a matching SV logo on the doors.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador build/design process

Admin — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:36:51 +0000

To create the new supercar, Lamborghini started with sketches, transferred those drawings to a computer, began testing the materials used to craft the car and then work to build the twelve-cylinder heart found just behind the passenger compartment. It’s an intense process, and the end result is a car that will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest Lamborghini products ever made.

Build your own Lamborghini Reventon from scratch

On top of the exterior transformation, the enthusiast also outfitted the car with a 2.5L Nissan six-cylinder engine. He’s now trying to raise funds so that he can paint the car and finish his dream machine in order to get the legal documents to drive it on the street. To his credit, it looks like he’s garnered plenty of attention with the build and we have to admit, it does look like a Reventon…somewhat.

Lamborghini to produce 20 examples of the Sesto Elemento at €2M apiec

Admin — Fri, 13 May 2011 16:28:37 +0000

Now those rumors are rounding the mill again, as Sant’Agata reportedly prepares to bring the Sesto Elemento to market. If and when it does, Lamborghini will count on the concept’s advanced composite construction to stick to the 995-kilogram (2,200-pound) curb weight. Coupled with the Gallardo’s 5.2-liter V10 engine – possibly tuned for extra power – the production model is expected to hit 62 from a standstill in just 2.5 seconds, making it quicker even than the new Aventador which hits highway speeds in just 2.9.

Somewhere along the way, the Reventón-matching million-Euro price tag that we thought was astronomical already will reportedly double to €2 million, or around $2.8 million USD based on current exchange rates. That’s an enormous chunk of change, especially for a car you can’t even take out onto the street. But considering the multi-millionaires who drop bigger figures on decommissioned F1 cars just for track days, the Raging Bull marque could very well have little trouble offloading the 20 examples pegged for production.

New lamborghini 2012 Aventador LP700-4

This dynamic improvement is helped greatly by the fact that the 518-pound (down 40 pounds from its predecessor) 6.5-liter V12 engine in back – dubbed “L539″ – sits some 2.9-inches lower down in the chassis than the Murcièlago’s 632-hp 6.5-liter. Couple this with the pushrod suspension’s stellar handling characteristics, and this big V12 stays almost as level in tight curves as the featherweight McLaren MP4-12C. The engine cradle is simply placed lower and the dry-sump pan and engine block lose much of this height.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 bring the apocalypse

It’s hard to put into words why someone should buy a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 without sounding like an energy drink-swilling high schooler. It’s just hard to describe its level of performance, styling and je ne sais quoi without using the hackneyed standbys like “epic” or “awesome” or “dude.”

2011 Lamborghini Aventador takes it to the streets

Lamborghini delivered one of the first of its latest Aventador supercars to a dealership in Berlin recently, blocking traffic and generating quite a crowd on a busy street. Despite some awkward maneuvers in busy traffic, nobody seemed to care… at least not once the Aventador’s 7.0-liter V12 fired.

According to the report, the owner is trying to make a point that China is home to a growing number of individuals capable of purchasing luxury items. Companies realizes this and are making increased efforts to offer their products to the Chinese people. However, the Lamborghini owner believes that the Chinese people do not get the same level of service found in other markets. By smashing his Gallardo, he’s certainly captured our attention.
