Tending the Garden With a Lamborghini

With the holiday season approaching, we’re faced with that annual dilemma: what to buy the Lamborghini owner who has everything?

This year’s answer: the Tonino Lamborghini electric chainsaw.

Too macho? Consider the Tonino Lamborghini grass trimmer. The shrub shears are also nice.

The German-made gardening tools are part of a licensing deal between the automaker and the German company IKRA Mogatec, which makes high-end gardening equipment.

Tonino Lamborghini, the son of Ferruccio Lamborghini, founder of Automobili Lamborghini, has previously created items like watches and golf carts, all sporting his family name. His company, Lamborghini Products, is based in Boca Raton, Fla.

The raging-bull motif is on each of the tools—no specs on horsepower or torque, although the chainsaw does have a 2,400-watt motor and automatic chain lubrication, which I guess is something like an oil sump. The saw costs a not-unreasonable $200.

Spyshots: Lamborghini Jota

As the Paris Auto Show is almost here, automotive producers from around the world are fighting for our attention, offering us previews of what they have prepared for the event.

One of the names that has certainly managed to reach the podium of the anticipation race in our minds is Lamborghini. The Italian supercar producer has released not one or two, but three teasers for the automotive Batman suit it will unveil in Paris.



Now, we have the real world (the Nurburgring is the definition of the real world for us) proof that Lambo is working hard to develop a successor for the epic Murcielago. The model is expected to make it to the Paris Auto Show.Our team of spy machine gunners have caught the Lambatmobile (OK, it’s actually called Jota by unofficial sources) while it was performing a test session on the ‘Ring.



The car is wearing a complex black cape, so most of the details are hidden. However, we are able to see aggressive features, such as massive lateral air intakes and a complex bat wing at the back. The camouflage elements are actually larger than the vehicle itself.



The wave of rumors connected to the Jota that has hit the web indicates that the vehicle’s V12 powerplant will come with over 700 hp. This kind of power level alone is enough to make a car blow your mind, but when we consider that the vehicle will make extensive use of carbon fiber and aluminum, things go to the stratosphere of the automotive performance.

1971 Lamborghini Miura SV Jota Goes Under the Hammer

October 27 will be a special day for the true automotive connoisseurs with enough money on their hands to roam auction houses across the globe. On that date, most of them will be probably attending the Automobiles of London auction, organized by RM, so that they may have a chance to snatch a very special item: a 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV Jota.

For those who are not all that connoisseur, we think it would be enough to say the model is only one of the five built by Lamborghini (chassis no. 4892 ) to honor the creation of test driver Bob Wallace, the Miura Privata. A trait which makes it very, very rare and very, very expensive.

RM Auctions says the model has been through a “no-expense-spared restoration,” performed by specialist Gary Bobileff. This trait too adds to the price of the model, which is expected and hoped to close at around 800,000-1,100,000 GBP ($1,25 million - $1,7 million/EUR980,000 – EUR1.3 million).

The fourth edition of the Automobiles of London auction will not be, of course, all about the rare Jota. The event will be packed with rare, unique and special vehicles, including James Bond’s actual Aston Martin DB5.

That is the one driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger and Thunderball, the single model remaining of the only two ever built. This car is much more expensive than the rare Jota, with the auction house hoping to get over 3.5 million GBP ($5 million, EUR3.93 million).

Lamborghini Jota testing on German Autobahn

The Murcielago’s future replacement went testing again. This time, the Lamborghini
Jota was out on the German autobahn, and, as usual, there was a lucky guy hanging out to catch it and bring us beautiful footage of the sports car
. We’ve already seen the first teaser image of the future supercar, but having a video will entertain us for that much longer until the Paris Auto Show where we hope we’ll get the car’s official details.

It’s already been reported that the Jota will be shorter and weigh about 300lbs. less than the Murcielago. It will be built on a new carbon-fiber tub and will use as much aluminum and carbon fiber
as possible to reduce weight. The Jota will hit a top speed of 230mph and will sit on new 21" wheels over upgraded Brembo
carbon-ceramic brakes. It will also come with Audi’s torque vectoring technology which offers even better handling.

Lamborghini Reventon gas powered RC car

Let’s face it; there aren’t many people in the world that can afford the Reventon supercar. Not to mention the fact that it is limited to only 20 units. So, in the case that you don’t have an extra $1,200,000 in your pocket to spend or you can’t get on the super deluxe, ultra special list to purchase the Reventon, Lamborghini is offering you the possibility to get an officially licensed RC version, scale 1:10. And what Lamborghini RC car would be complete without its own limited number? In true special edition style, the mini model will only get 65 units.



The RC car was built by De Agostini and has more features than some production models: a two-stroke 3cc petrol engine, a two-speed transmission, and permanent four-wheel drive. For "optimum road holding", designers installed an independent suspension, hydraulic shocks, and disc brakes.

Of course, it won’t develop a total of 650 HP and won’t hit a top speed of 211 mph, but it will make your dream of getting your hands on a Lamborghini Reventon come to life, in a mini way. If only they would let us know how much it costs.

Lamborghini Presa

The Lamborghini Presa is a concept car featuring a front-engine design by the trio Mohamad Monfared, Alireza Sahragard, and Arian Moqbeli. Meant to go after other 8-cylinder GT cars in it’s class, it’s been told that the Presa could be straight competition to the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
