Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4

Automobili Lamborghini has released the first photographs of a limited edition Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster. The Roadster version of the Murciélago will offer an uprated 6.5 litre V12 engine that produces 650 hp (478 kW) along with permanent four-wheel drive: hence the model’s LP 650-4 moniker. With 660 Nm of torque, top performance is at 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.4 seconds. The top speed is around 330 Km/h (205mph).

The special edition model will be produced in a limited volume (50 units only), with a Grigio Telesto exterior that combines grey bodywork with a special bright orange Arancio LP 650-4 featured on the front spoiler and sills. The LP 650-4 logo applied to the car’s exterior is recognition of the car’s increased power. The car features orange brake calipers and a transparent V12-engine cover, which shows off the V12 engine behind the driver.

Interior features echo the car's striking grey-and-orange exterior: besides the orange touches, there is an asymmetric dash design, with black Alcantara Nera on the driver's side, including door panel and central tunnel, and black leather Nero Perseus on the passenger's side.

The increased power of the Murciélago engine, from 640 to 650 hp, will be unique to the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster: it demonstrates even further the developments that Lamborghini is able to offer from a current engine, and creates the exclusive characteristic of the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster.

Lamborghini Insecta

The project represents a personal vision of a Lamborghini 2 seater super sports car.

The inspiration comes from nature, and especially the insect world. I began by studying the different types of exoskeletons or armor that certain insects have.

I sought to apply these type of organic forms and translate them into the style of the brand so that when you see the car, you have no doubt that it is a Lamborghini. This type of armored appearance is especially visible in the rear and top views.

The dimensions of the car are: 4300 mm length (same as the Gallardo), 1000 mm height and 2000 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2650 mm. The body is carbonfiber and the car can use the same engine as the Gallardo.

The idea was to create a very extreme race oriented supercar with a style that introduces new soft and organic lines and integrates them into the geometrical style of Lamborghini.

The Wind has been Delayed

2012 Pagani Huayra (NA Spec)

It turns out that the rumors of the Huayra's airbags were true. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) is currently blocking the Huayra from making it to the market due to its lack of the advanced airbags required on all new cars sold in America, which is quite a problem for potential owners, and Horacio Pagani himself. The company did request that the car be sold in the U.S. despite the fact that they did not have any financial resources to develop the required airbag system, but the administration denied this request. Why do NHTSA need this? To protect our kids from having serious accidents. But, honestly, what kid would ride shotgun with their dad in a car like this? I don't think their dad would even let the kid come near such a car. I see all this as a load of shenanigans. Unless their dad is a rich crack head and needs mental help, no kid should ride in this car unless their ready. Why? Paganis are crazy cars that pay immense attention to detail when it comes to design, power, and, most importantly, the road. A kid won't be able to understand these things until they're my age, which is about adulthood. I think the NHTSA should stop being whiney babies, open their eyes, and see that this car should be ridden and driven by experienced drivers/riders. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Pagani has two choices now: 1. Go back to the drawing board and spend another $5.7 Million to develop a U.S. spec advanced airbag system which could take more time and more money out of your wallet. Or 2. Skip out on this market again like the Zonda. I'd go with option #1 because we need Pagani to come our shores. Why? Just to get up in Ferrari's and Lamborghini's faces.

Top Gear Season 17 Episode 6

Get a Head Start

Camaro ZL1 vs. Aventador LP700-4 (Need For Speed: The Run)

It looks like the car list for Need For Speed: The Run is actually quite good for Black Box Studios game. None of the old originals like the Camaro Concept or the Mustang GT are there. Most of these cars are completely new cars or cars that we just haven't seen before, like the BMW M3 E30 Sport Evolution, Ford Mustang Boss 302, BMW M3 E92 GTS, and dozens more. Well, three additional cars have just been introduced into the game, and they're all from 2012. First up, there's the newest Bull in the Italian Penn: The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. This is actually its official gaming debut. With it's new 6.5-liter hand-built V12 engine churning out 691 horsepower, it will 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 217 MPH. It's actually faster around the Top Gear test track than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Next up, another gaming debut from chevrolet: the Camaro ZL1. With it's 6.2-liter LSA Supercharged V8 producing 550 horsepower, it will do 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds and hit a possible top speed of 200 MPH. And last, but not least, an NFS exclusive: the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. This is the new 991 set for it's official debut this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It seems that EA's already got their first look at it without the coverings. The car will supposedly have up to 400 horsepower on a new 3.5-liter Flat-6 engine. Among the three exclusive cars, there are 5 extra challenges in the career mode. Three of them were made especially for NFS Most Wanted fans. You'll be behind the wheel of the BMW M3 GTS Most Wanted Edition and Razor Callahan's Mustang Boss 302 as you speed down the highway evading the police as much as you can. I'm really excited for this game. It might be a hit! Check out the exciting trailer below.

Update: Just in case you were wondering the difference between the regular box and the limited edition box, here's the regular:

Regular Box

and here's the limited edition box:

Limited Edition Box

As you can see not only is there a somewhat different angle to the helicopter shooting down on Jack, but this time, he's driving a $387,000 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 instead of an 800 horsepower GT500 Super Snake.

No More Manuals

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni (Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit)

Take a good virtual look at it, cuz this is the last Lamborghini you'll ever see with a manual stick. Motor Trend recently sat down with Lamborghini's R&D Director Maurizio Reggiani and he told them that the manual stick doesn't seem to fit the future of Lamborghini.

"Basically, we want our cars to be fast, and the best way to deliver this is to remove the human element from the gearchange equation." - Maurizio Reggiani, Lamborghini R&D Director

The Gallardo's replacement, the Cabrera, is expected next year and will only be available with a 6 or 7-speed E-Gear similarly used in the Aventador LP700-4. So, with Lamborghini officially out of the manual business, does this mean the end for the hairy-chested stick shift? Not yet, at least that's what Porsche thinks. 

Porsche's 7-Speed Manual Stick

This is their new 7-Speed manual stick which will be available in the new 2013 Porsche 911 (991). They still believe the stick is alive, but that's just them. BMW's new M5 F10 will have a 6-speed stick as an option, but they'd prefer if customers bought it with the new 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission. Whatever the case may be, it seems that science has overtaken raw power when it comes to gearshifts and speed.

Ubisoft Makes a Racing Game?

1978 Lamborghini Countach LP400S

You've probably seen trailers and gameplay videos involving this particular creation from Ubisoft and Reflections Studios, but I'm gonna tell you about this game anyway. Driver: San Francisco is a massive free-roam driving game where you play as the protagonist, Detective John Tanner, who does whatever it takes to takedown the antagonist, Jericho, for putting a bullet through his body. With Tanner under an induced coma, we travel to his head where we try to solve the mystery behind Jericho and his escape from prison. As you might've already guessed, the game takes place in San Francisco. But, it's not your normal Midtown Madness 2, Test Drive Overdrive, Need For Speed: The Run San Francisco. We're talking about the real San Francisco: all 208 miles of it. From the back alleys, to the staircase roads, to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge: it's all there. And to make things much better, Ubisoft and Reflections provide you with 120 fully licensed vehicles from all around the world, including, my favorite, the Aston Martin Rapide, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the Pagani Zonda Cinque, even the Lamborghini Countach LP400S that you see above you. I think this game is going to be the racing game of the year, and here's why. Need For Speed: The Run looks beautiful with lots of cars and action to keep you on your toes. But, you can't cruise around in the cities by yourself and I don't think there are any "just the car" races since you now have to do some stuff on foot. It's just one big movie that needs you to operate the controls. Driver: San Francisco on the other hand, is like a movie. But, instead of having some on foot gameplay, most of the stuff you do is in a car. Also, you have all 208 miles of San Francisco to yourself, so you can do just about anything there. With 120 licensed vehicles at your disposal, combined with real-world driving physics, beautiful vehicle damage, and the ability to shift from one car to another, you'll have an endless amount of fun switching between a Lamborghini and a Maserati in order to catch a culprit. I think this racing game is a must buy, even though I haven't played it yet. Anyway, more news on the game coming soon.

P.S.: Did I mention that they have the new Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged in the game as well? And since the graphics and detailing of the cars are exquisite, expect the Rover to look virtually beautiful. So excited!!!

Need For Speed World Extravaganza

2011 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - Cop Edition

So, as you could probably tell by the decrease in blog posts and amount of videos posted on YouTube, I've been busy. I've made two videos showcasing NFS World's newest release: The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - Cop Edition. For just 6000 speedboost, you can have this awesome raging bull with custom Italian police livery, custom BBS matte black rims, carbon fiber rear wing, and even a police front guard for more ramming force. Not to mention you get a sweet performance upgrade just in case you run into some police, which I did in both movies. They're up on YouTube now, but you check them out here as well.

Bull Sliding

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Now, as a car reviewer, there comes time that while reviewing a fast car, you'll want to fling it around a parking lot or race track to test its stability, ride, speed, or just have fun. I can totally relate. For example, I drove the new Jaguar XF not too long ago and decided to have a highway race against an old 911 Turbo, and that went well (hehehe). The Top Gear blokes have done numerous stunts with the cars they review. For example, James May (or Tiff Needell if you were watching) did a full-on lap against the BMW S1000RR in the Ariel Atom 500 V8, the current king of the Top Gear Test Track. Clarkson raced from one end of England to another in the Jaguar XJL SuperSport in order to beat "God", so to speak. Hammond had the streets of Abu Dhabi to himself so he could race the STIG's McLaren F1 in a Bugatti Veyron. And now, it seems that Autocar will join this list as Steve Sutcliffe flings Lamborghini's latest bull, the Aventador, all around England in his latest review. Look and listen to his review below to see and hear what he did.

Big Bull, Small Room

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The Lamborghini Aventador has proven to be the most exciting thing ever to come out this year. Everyone wanted the car so much, it's currently sold out til next year. From my perspective, this is a fantastic car: aggressive design, big engine, and awesome presence. As you know, Lamborghini tends to hand-build all of their cars, but what about doing it in a small room? Recently, the company decided to put the car in their museum exhibition called "La Forza del Toro" (The force of the bull) in the Italian museum Chiostro del. Unfortunately, the car was too big to move inside. So, instead of knocking down walls to fit the car in, they moved in pieces of the car from scrap and built it their inside the museum. The result, astonishingly, was a fully functional and beautifully put Aventador sitting majestically at its exhibition. You don't believe me? Check out the video below to see how Lamborghini did it.

Lamborghini Breezy

Chris Brown's Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe

If you've ever wondered what Chris Brown drives around in everyday, well here you go. This custom P-51 Gallardo was done by Sean Burnley, a Georgia customizer who has some relations with a customizing shop that had done work for R&B Singer T-Pain. He convinced Breezy to tune his whip up with some visuals and some creativity, thus turning to Mr. Burnley for some incentive. As you can see, this car's ready to take off thanks to its awesome P-51 vinyl/paintjob. The navy blue custom 20-inch rims really fit with the car as well. Now, obviously some Lamborghini Gallardo owners may be looking at this and thinking, "What on earth is this? This totally disgraces the Gallardo code of preservation." That may be true. But, it has also proved that with the proper skills and artistic nature, you can dream up something as nice as this, as Sean Burnley did.

The Cheapest Lamborghini in the World

ASUS Lamborghini VX7 Laptop

If you think I'm fooling, you better think again. This is, by all means, a Lamborghini. The only difference is that it has no wheels, no massive V12 engine, and no expensive price tag of $200,000. Instead this Lamborghini can be used in the office, in your game room, or at an important business meeting, and it will only cost you $2,269. ASUS is to Lamborghini as Acer is to Ferrari: a company that supplies exotic computers to fans of the raging bull or the prancing horse. This one, in particular, was inspired by the late-great Lamborghini Murcielago. For those tech savvy kids who want one of these, let me give you the specs: 2.0-GHz Intel Quad Core i7 Processor, 16GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory, 1.5TB Hard Drive, Blu-Ray Player + Burner, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 1.5GB GDDR5 Graphics Card, Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and a 15.6-inch (1920 x 1080) Display. So basically, Asus wants this computer to run as fast and clean as a Lamborghini, but cost about 1/10th as much. I can dig that. How about you? Check their website for more info or here if you want to buy it now. 

Shift 2 Unleashed: Review

2010 BMW 135i Coupe

So, once again, Need For Speed has decided to get under Gran Turismo's nose with their own realistic sim game. This time, they say it's the most realistic racing game ever created. You will be able to feel the tension as a you drive at 200 MPH through a narrow straight. You will feel the terror as you navigate your way through the dark while racing against other aggressive drivers. You'll sit at the edge of your seat as you battle for first place against another racer. These are just the many descriptions people have told me about the game, so, of course, I had to experience this for myself. And guess what? I did, and more!

2010 Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro

I played the first Shift when it came out about two years ago and I didn't really like it as much as I thought I would. The handling was no where close to realistic and the physics were a bit deformed. But, a majority of NFS fans loved it, so they brought it back. And, I'm happy to report that this game has greatly improved. The handling is still slightly drifty, but you'll be able to find grip through corners. The physics have greatly improved as well. The cars are more stable at high speeds and you'll be able to control them more. The damage models are more refined for each car which makes them better to look at. For the first time ever, wheels and bumpers will fall off instead of having your car smushed up into a cube. They've even put in the automatic features that were absent in the last game. At long last, you can see the hydraulic spoiler rise up off your Bugatti Veyron at 200 MPH. You'll be able to the airbrake flaps rise as you brake into a corner in your Pagani Huayra. I don't know about you, but that looks absolutely awesome!

2011 Lamborghini Reventon Interceptor

As for gameplay, this game is much more exciting than the old Shift. For once, you'll stand at the edge of your seat as you race for first place. The eerie journey music from 30 Seconds to Mars and Switchfoot that have been accompanied with the game also provide another level of excitement. The drivers you race against aren't your boring Gran Turismo AI that just find the racing line and drive fast. These drivers are aggressive. If they find an opening, they will take it. If you block them, they'll fight you until they leave you in the dust. You're gonna need skill, aggression, and speed if you're gonna stay in first. Speaking of speed, there are 140 cars in this game that each will deliver enough speed for every event in the game, from the beginner's level all the way to the Works Championship, and even the FIA GT1 Championship. Each car has been styled almost flawlessly by the guys at Slightly Mad Studios, from the Alfa Romeo 8C to the VW Golf Mk. I GTI. They've even included some hot pursuit cars like this Lamborghini Reventon Cop Car, the Pagani Zonda Cinque HP Roadster, and, get this, the Porsche 918 Spyder Concept Study. You can even customize the 918 to look like an open top GT car. In fact, you can convert almost every car into a Works GT car if you have enough money and enough parts. You can customize everything in the car, including engine swapping your car's engine with a much more powerful car. For example, I was customizing my Audi R8 and I found out that I can swap my 420 horsepower 4.2-liter FSI V8 engine with a 500 horsepower 5.2-liter FSI V10 engine from the Audi R8 LMS. That's pretty sick, but Forza ricers have been doing this for years now.

Bugatti vs. Gumpert: a Race of the Hypers

As for online play, I am pleased to report that Autolog has been brought back for more online fun. Autolog helped make Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit one of the best online games of last year, so, of course you would expect NFS to make it better for Shift 2, and they did. Since you can tune your cars in this game, this will be key when trying to beat your friends time records or drift scores. Then again, it's all in the fingers and wrists so make sure you drive well. As far as sharing goes, you can now share screenshots taken from the game. You can even share iconic replays of one of your best races. You can also compare profiles to see who has more badges. I mean, there's nothing in this game that you can't share with friends. Sharing is caring, right?

Lexus LFA Race

When I review racing games, I try to compare them to driving in real life. I always ask myself this question: will this game help me become a better driver? My answer: yes, somewhat. There is a lot of realism to go with this game that will help you realize how dangerous racing can be if you're not careful. As far as driving goes, this game can help you become a better driver, that is if you don't mess around with it. In some ways it can't though. The handling is still too drifty and on some long curves where you're supposed to grip the racing line, you instead slide the whole way, which can get quite irritating. But, nevertheless, there is more grip in this game than in its predecessor which makes it very good.

LFA vs. Gallardo: V10 Supercar Duel

So, comparing this to Gran Turismo 5 or Forza Motorsport 3, I think Shift still has a lot of ground to cover if it wants to compete with them. But, this game has shown some potential and it definitely has taken some sips of reality. So, I'm giving this game 4.5 stars out of 5 because it's real, it's exciting, and it's much better than the last one. Well done, NFS!

Don't Talk. Just Listen

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Turn off your TV. Put your headphones on full blast. Calm your mind. What I'm going to show you now will require complete silence and a sound mind. It features this car, the Vallelunga race track, and a V12 engine flyby that will leave you speechless. That's all I have to say. Just watch it.

Shift 2 meets Hot Pursuit

2011 Lamborghini Reventon SCPD Interceptor

Truthfully speaking, NFS Hot Pursuit was one of THE best games EA has ever produced, and Slightly Mad Studios has decided to honor that game with a couple of VIP Rewards for Shift 2: Unleashed. If you have the game saved on your EA Account on any platform, you will receive this exclusive Lamborghini Reventon with the SCPD livery for use in the game. It has all the performance data of the regular Reventon, just with a cop car livery. Who wouldn't want that? And, as an added bonus, EA will let you drive your first open top supercar in the game.

2011 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster NFS Edition

This Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster was specially built by Pagani for NFS with custom paint and livery. Only one exists in the real world, and it's a hardtop. Feel honored that you'll get to drive the only drop top Zonda Cinque NFS Edition in the world. Also, EA will give you 1000 Experience Points and an extra $10,000 towards a new car. So, if you haven't pre-ordered Shift 2: Unleashed yet, but you have NFS Hot Pursuit, you might as well pre-order it now if you want to get your hands on these cars.

The Best of Italy...Sold OUT!!

2012 Ferrari FF

Looks like you're gonna have to wait a while in order to get one of these. Two of Italy's biggest motoring bombshells have been loved by the entire world that they are now sold out until further notice. First, there's the Ferrari FF, Ferrari's first all-wheel drive sports car. They managed to make this a hatchback with a 651 horsepower V12 engine, all-wheel drive, and a very pretty face. Well, if you've wanted this one, you'll have to wait for it. And he's not the only one.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Yep! I am sorry to report that Lamborghini's all new Aventador is also sold out as well! Well, what did you expect? It's the raging bull the whole world was waiting for. Lamborghini's ultimate hyper-car has achieved worldwide fame through looks, power, and price. But, the best thing about these two supercars are they aren't limited like a Reventon or a Special Edition Range Rover. Ferrari and Lamborghini do plan on creating more in the near future. That should be good, right?

Living the Legacy

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The Lamborghini Murcielago left us with true Italian passion and perfection. Let's see if its successor, the all-new Aventador, can give us all of that and more. It certainly has given us the better looks and more power. The Italian passion will take some time to achieve, but quite frankly I believe it will achieve it no time. This car just looks fantastic, especially in white. Even though it's been seen by most of the world, when it made its official debut in Geneva, it was hailed one of the most impressive pieces of the show. Clearly Lamborghini had bigger pockets invested on this one. Check out the Aventador's big reveal here.

Fresh from the Stable

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen; the official Official pics of Lamborghini's newest bull, the Aventador. Might I say that from every angle, this car looks absolutely monstrous! You just don't want to mess with it. Actually, if you do look long and hard, you may find that this car bares some resemblance to the Million Dollar Lambo, the Reventón, with F-22 Raptor-like sharp edges and dazzling design. And it's no different on the inside either.

Interior View

Look at this! Just spectacular! Who wouldn't want red leather seats in their F-22 Raptor Jet? Anyway, you might've noticed the new steering wheel. It actually features buttons for entertainment system use. Here's another view of it.

Central View

The console looks something from the future. Everything looks sort of cube-ish. You might've noticed the red latch near the entertainment buttons. In fighter jets, this was used to cover a big red button that would release a nuke or blow up Morocco or something or another. In this car, it's used to apply the handbrake (a very useful feature). The dashboard is equally useful.

New Tachs

The speedos and tachs are now much brighter and more colorful to keep drivers aware of what how fast your going or if you need gas in the next half-in-hour. As always, the Aventador features flappy paddles behind the steering wheel to operate Lamborghini's new and unique 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 

L539 V12 Engine

And, of course, what good is the transmission without the actual engine. Lamborghini's new 6.5-liter V12 produces 691 horsepower which is sent equally to all four wheels. Because of this, 0 to 60 is done in just 2.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 217 MPH. Actually, the 0 to 60 time matches that of the new Nissan GT-R, but because the GT-R's gear ratios are much shorter and the engine is less powerful than the Lambo's, the Lambo will have it beat in the long run. 

They didn't forget the scissor doors

So, there you are: striking looks, new engine, faster speed, more technology, more agile, and strangely affordable. Obviously, you might've read my last sentence and said, "How is this car strangely affordable? It's $371,000. That's more than I make stealing Google accounts in Morocco." Ahh, yes that is the price, but this car has graduated from supercar to hypercar. Which means, it has the potential to take on the Pagani Huayra and even the Bugatti Veyron. These cars both cost, in essence,  $1.5 Million. Then, there's the hypercar it's predecessor failed to beat, which was the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition. Now, this car will run circles around it. Now, the SLR costs about $500,000. So, compared to all three of those cars, this is the bargain of the century. And, as always, what good is the car without the name, Aventador. Lamborghini normally names their cars after famous bulls from bullfights in Spain. Aventador was the name of a bull that was owned by Don Celestino Cuadri Vides. It was at the peak of its career in 1993 when it went toe-to-toe with a torero in Saragozza, Spain. Well, that bull can put a smile on its face, wherever it is, because his name has been put on the fastest and most powerful Lamborghini to date. Well done Lamborghini, the Murcielago can finally rest in peace. Here are some more pics.
