Lamborghini Aventador Miami Unveiling: Video

Miami is one of the biggest markets for Lamborghini. Which is why they brought a very unique Aventador to the unveiling ceremony of the car, along with hot models and Valentino Balboni himself. It’s a matte black one which looks freezingly cool. So far we’d just seen this car in red and white, but this color just suits the amazing looks of the car better. Lamborghini knew this color would go down well with Miami drug lords, who are the typical customers of cars like these! The Aventador is an awesome piece of design. Check it out after the jump.

Video: Lamborghini Aventador Enjoys the Rain

The recently launched Lamborghini Aventador is a two-door, two seat sports car for which most of the enthusiasts were waiting to have just a glimpse of it. With a new 6.5 liter V12 engine, the car easily produces a whopping 691 horsepower (515 kW).

Designed by the Lamborghini Centro Stile’s Filippo Perini, the car has become heart of many. In just 2.9 seconds, the car makes a sprint from 0-62 mph, delivering a top speed of 217 mph. Along with powerful performance, the Aventador is lucky to get Formula One-style suspension as well as a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque. The name Aventador was named for a Spanish fighting bull and this completely highlights its presence through the roaring power under the hood.

Featuring a single clutch 7-speed semi-automatic transmission which is built by Graziano Transmissioni, the car has now made a close encounter on the streets. This exotic supercar has already earned a lot of high praise and now its enthusiasts will enjoy seeing its video. Beating the rain, the Aventador went on just like a lightening, roaring from inside by the engine to show its actual performance.

This informative video review offers a proof of the car’s performance and how much it can endure by delivering its best. So, without wasting time in reading more about it, just jump on to see the wonderful video of Lamborghini Aventador and decide by yourself whether it lives up to your expectation or not.

Car Crash Video: Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo

The Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardos are known to us all. The twin-turbocharged race monsters produce more than 1,000hp easily.

Last weekend, during the Caffeine and Octane event in Georgia, USA, a black spyder version of the UR Gallardo was crashed after loosing control. In the video below you can see that the crash has nothing to do with speed or whatsoever. People who know the owner state that it was simply bad luck.

Before some smart comments come up like, “needs to learn to drive.” He has owned this sports car for over a year, and his other cars include a rebuilt TT Z06 making 1200whp+.

An Exclusive Look at the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4



There's no denying that the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 was one of the biggest stars of the 2011 Geneva Auto Show. It had all the ingredients of a show-stopping supercar stuffed into a shape that was rivaled only by the models standing next to it.

But seeing the new Lamborghini sitting on a show stand is one thing. Hearing the Aventador LP700-4 ripping across the desert is another experience entirely. We know this because we recently spent a day with the new Lamborghini on a film shoot in the California desert.

The Aventador LP700-4 wore the same Argos orange color as the showcar, so it looked particularly striking after getting covered in a thick coat of dry lake silt. And when it fired up to head out for its beauty shots, the sound of its 6.5-liter V12 didn't disappoint.

We're looking forward to getting behind the wheel of this new Lamborghini later this spring, but for now we'll have to be content with this quick and dirty preview. If you weren't looking forward to the debut of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 before, you will be after seeing our photos and videos from the desert. Enjoy.

VIDEO: How Does The Lamborghini LP 700-4 LOOK On The Road?

It's one thing to see a car on the stage under harsh, bright lighting but it is a totally different experience to see the same car on the street.

That's because when you place a bright orange Lamborghini Aventador on a Berlin street, it makes a bit of a different apperance. Probably because there isn't a 1,000 photographers with flashbulbs and a sound system pumping out some rhythmic drum and bass music.

Yes, alright, it was a presentation, but UNBELIVEBLE to see it in a public street! Wow!

Video: Lamborghini Aventador HUGE REVS sound

After a career that lasted about ten years, Italy’s legendary Lamborghini Murcielago has already been replaced with a new model. And what a model!

The new Bull God will feature an earth shattering 700hp V12 and the highest power to weight ratio of any car in its class. Since you’re asking, the whole thing weighs 1,575kg - lean, for a two-door instrument of shouty oversteer.
The Aventador gets Lambo’s new ISR transmission, claimed to be faster and ‘more emotional’ than a dual-clutch system. The suspension is a Formula 1-style inboard pushrod spring and damper set-up, a system previously seen on only the most expensive hypercars, such as the Ferrari Enzo and Maserati MC12.
Perhaps this is the first video in the world that has the delicious V12 of the Aventador showing off it’s wares.

A bit of trivia, Aventador was the name of the bull that won the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñena” in 1993.

Prices start at £201,900 with first deliveries beginning later this year.

The Electric Lamborghini Minotauro – Pictures + Video

Lamborghini are famous for being the “other” Italian supercar manufacturer, having produced infamous vehicles like the Miura, the Countach and the recent Sesto Elemento, Lamborghini are yet to build an electric car. Design student Andrei Avarvarii decided to put that right and set about designing the Lamborghini Minotauro, a 100% electric Lamborghini supercar that seats 3 and can dash from 0-60 in under 4 seconds.


Avarvarii gave the Minotauro 30-70 weight distrubution, favouring the rear wheels, to maintain the spirit of the older rear wheel drive only Lambo’s and he used a Li-Tec flat-cell battery mounted in the floor to give the car a low centre of gravity.

With electric motors at each wheel and a KERS system feeding the front motors the Minotauro has 500hp and a staggering 2,000Nm of torque (the 1,001hp Bugatti Veyron has just 730Nm).

The Minotauro has seating for three, a side-by-side arrangement in the front plus on seat in the centre-rear (where the V10 would have been in a gasoline car).

Lamborghini have been rumoured to be working on a hybrid super car for some time now, many “purists” are adamantly against any form of electric power, we’re not sure what they plan on using for fuel once the oil runs out but we’ll keep you posted.


It’s also rumoured that Lamborghini is working with parent company Audi on the production of a show-stopping electric concept car for release at the 2011 Paris Motorshow, the car is said to use the same running gear as the Audi e-Tron but the composite carbon body will more closely resemble the Sesto Elemento.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Video



The Gallardo is Lamborghini’s best-selling model partly because it’s the marquee’s more affordable entry – with a low, low base price of $187,900. If close to $200,000 sounds too plebian for your taste, you can always opt for the even more exotic, even more super, Superleggera trim. “Superleggera” means “super light,” a feat partially achieved by gobs of carbon fiber, inside and out.

Video: Lamborghini Countach QuattroValvole drive from Sant’Agata to UK

Do you want to know what it’s like to drive a Lamborghini Countach QuattroValvole from the glamorous shores of Monaco to the heart of the UK? EVO magazine has just done it and posted a video of the drive on YouTube.

Harry Metcalfe of EVO says the car is very powerful but after a long drive it is apparent just how much hard work is involved in driving it. He also mentions the brakes, which he says are nothing like today’s standards. He says the brake pedal needs to be pushed fairly hard and that there is little confidence in them.

Apart from the speedo that stopped working on the way, the classic Lamborghini Countach made the journey in one piece. It uses a 5.2-litre V12 engine, with four valves per cylinder – hence the QuattroValvole name – producing 339kW of power. It’ll manage the 0-100km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds too, so even to this day the retro supercar is a very quick bit of gear.

Check out the video below to hear the awesome sound of the V12, and a more details of the journey.

VIDEO: Jay Leno Gets Behind The Wheel Of The Lamborghini Reventon

Jay Leno today gives us a rare glimpse into the Lamborghini Section of his Big Dog Garage, where his two Miuras share space with a Countach and an Espada. Must be nice, eh? As much as we love those Italian steeds, the subject of today's visit to the garage is the awesome, flat black, fighter jet-inspired Reventón.

Specifically, we're ogling number 007 of 20 Reventón supercars that Lamborghini produced after the tremendous reception the car received after being introduced at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. All 20 of these cars were delivered to paying customers, so the only way to get one now is to go out on the open market... and, for what it's worth, 007 is for sale.

Because this car is privately owned (and not by Jay), the late night comedian and automotive enthusiast went a bit easy on it, eschewing burnouts for rolling full-throttle starts. No matter, the sound from that 650-horsepower 6.5-liter V12 engine is plenty intoxicating, and judging by how it jets away from the camera car, it's plenty fast. See for yourself in the video after the break.

Lamborghini Gallardo Performante Video

The journalists from the British magazine EVO, recently had the chance to drive the new Lamborghini Gallardo Performante Spyder above Vence in the South of France. They have released this new video of the Lamborghini Gallardo Performante filmed while testing the new Lamborghini Gallardo Performante Spyder on some very twisty mountain roads.

The Lamborghini Gallardo Performante, unveiled back in November, is actually the Superleggera version of the Spyder. It weighs 65 kg less than the standard Gallardo Spyder. It also has more power. The Lamborghini Gallardo Performante develops 570 hp and 540 Nm of torque from a 5.2 liters V10 engine mounted in the middle. It has an all-wheel-drive system.

Video: Underground Racing’s Lamborghini Gallardo Nera Set To Return

Underground Racing is an American tuning firm based just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina that specializes in twin-turbocharging kits for Italian exotica, namely Lamborghini’s Gallardo and Murcielago supercars.

The firm has a reputation for building some of the most awesome power-up kits in the business, like this twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, which actually spat out fire during a high-speed run. Sadly, that reputation turned slightly sour following an incident involving one its highly modified Gallardos.

The car, which develops upwards of 2,000 horsepower and is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 250 mph, suffered a crash while traveling at more than 200 mph. Fortunately the driver was unhurt and walked away from the crash--proof that modern safety equipment isn't only necessary, it's damn effective. You can see a video of the crash here.

To help turnaround its tarnished image, Underground Racing is working on a new Gallardo project, and this time it’s using the highly exclusive Gallardo Nera as its blank canvas. You may recall that the Nera was a special edition Gallardo built in a production run of just 185 cars back in 2007.

We can only surmise what Underground Racing has planned for the car but expect otherworldly power ratings and insane top speeds. Check out this teaser video of the car completing some acceleration tests.

Video: Porsche 911 GT3 vs Lamborghini Gallardo

What better way to start the day than with a supercar race around Paris?

The team from stuntattitude.fr certainly picked two fine cars to show off in – the professional pilots are behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Lamborghini Gallardo.

The footage owes as much to the benefits of shaky camera work and quick editing as it does to fast driving, but the day we turn down the opportunity to watch someone get a GT3 sideways in a city centre is the day we hand in our press cards and take that estate agency job.

Video: Pagani And Lamborghini Duel In Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Trailer

For the driving simulator fan, the Need for Speed series holds a certain nostalgia as one of the first really fun and engaging car games. For the past 16 years the franchise has expanded on that theme, evolving to a level of realistic graphics and fun-focused gameplay that everyone can get on board with.

The latest series in the title sees the return of the Hot Pursuit game mode
, where the mission is to outrun the law. Unfortunately, your task isn’t made it easy because despite having an assortment of supercars to select from, you will be up against everything from police using Lamborghini Murcielagos to helicopters.

As this latest trailer shows, even with a car like the Pagani Zonda, outrunning the cops is no small feat. As for the game itself, all we can say is wow. And, unlike Gran Turismo 5, this one’s in stores now.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Polizia Stradale runs around Monza

Let me tell you, when you foolishly decide to drive your cars way past the speed limit in Italy, this is one police car that you don’t want to be chasing you. Trust us, unless you have a rocket of a supercar in your hands, you’re not going to be able to last in a car chase.

It’s not often that we get to see a Lamborghini police car, although there are a number of them in police departments all over the world. This particular one, though, is a Gallardo LP560-4, one of two Lamborghinis that were donated to the Italian police by the supercar maker. Moreover, this is the only one left of the two as the other one suffered a pretty serious car crash about a year ago.

So as you can see, the mere sight of the car draws either pained expressions of fear if it’s chasing you down the highway or wide-eyed glee if you get a chance to see it stretch its legs in a racetrack like Monza.

Fortunately, the ever reliable Marchettino was able to capture the Lambo super police car in action at the track doing what comes naturally to it: rocketing around the pit lane and the track while being joined by its supercar brethren.

Lamborghini Gallardo crash at Texas Mile

Texas Mile is an event where you can sign up, drive the fastest mile of your life and then eventually attempt to slow down without getting killed.

This video shows the trouble Underground Racing had with their 1,800 hp twin-turbo Gallardo on a very windy day. Kudos to the driver. He didn't get killed.

Ferrari 458 Italia vs. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Comparison Test - Video



It may not be an all out Italian grudge-fest between the 599 GTB and the Murcielago LP640, but it’s a pretty sweet cross-country rivalry just the same. In a test by Road & Track, drivers took the 570-hp 4.5-liter V8-powered 458 Italia and the 562-hp V10-powered Gallardo Superleggera head to head. In case you think that either has a clear advantage, the numbers argue against it. In addition to their similar output figures, the cars have a weight difference of a mere 20 lbs., produce the same 398 lb-ft of torque and both have listed top speeds of 202 mph.

It turns out to be a very intriguing match-up and the only way you’ll find out who wins is by getting to the end of the video at Road & Track. They also have a full write-up for all the details.

2012 Lamborghini Jota / Murcielago: Here are some new spy photos and video

Lamborghini’s upcoming Murcielago’ s photos and videos are floating on the net these days. We have been able to get hold of some spy pictures along with the video of the super sports vehicle. The new hyper-car from Sant’Agata’ as suggested by some source will be named Jota. However, no official name has yet been announced for the car. The hyper-car is planned to have its debut next year at Geneva Salon.



Looking at the spy photographs and the videos you would be able to interpret that the sports car manufacturer, Lamborghini, is not likely to make any changes in the ‘wedgy’ styling. This ‘ Wedgy’ styling language, in fact, has become the hallmark of the automaker’s supercars right since the debut of the Countach. Notably Lamborghini’s Countach was first formally introduced in 1970s.

The Murcielago or Jota, the new hyper-car, from the Italian automaker is the first production model. This production edition of the car uses lightweight carbon fiber materials which were showcased by Lamborghini at the Paris Motor Show in the Sesto Elemento concept car model. Experts claim that other Lambos in the range are likely to weigh as much as 150kg or 330 pounds lesser than the upcoming Murcielago.



While experts are not clear about the extent to which Lamborghini can go lighter but they claim that the super sports car, which is the Italian firm’s flagship supercar, will be powered by a more powerful V12 engine. This v12 power plant will churn out over 670HP of power for Murcielago LP 670-4. The car also sports all the latest advancements in technology not limited to direct-injection engines. Experts and automobile analysts believe that the Italian automaker will soon come up with an all-wheel drive sports vehicle for its fans.

Video: Lamborghini LP670-4 R-SV spotted at the Spa Francorchamps

Tired from the extensive coverage of the Paris Motor Show? Yeah, you’re not alone. Fortunately, we found something that should afford you a few minutes of down time. You know how we auto-holics roll, right? Anytime we need to relax, we scour the Internets for the latest supercar video, we put on our headphones
, we amp up the volume, and we sit back and relax.

In this video, we have the racing version of Lamborghini’s vaunted Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce supercar, the LP670-4 R-SV. Now, we’ve seen and heard what the LP670-4 SV is capable of, but a racing spec version of the Murcielago SuperVeloce racing at the FIA GT1 at Spa?

Trust us, no amount of describing it will do justice to just watching the video and hearing that piercing roar as it runs down a lap at the famed Spa Francorchamps racing circuit in Belgium.
