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+.

Lamborghini Miura SV Prototype Sells for $1.7 Million!
The Lamborghini Miura is arguably Lamborghini's most iconic model, highly sought after when new and today a much sought after classic.
The SV was the last version of the Miura series produced, certainly the best developed and for many, the best looking of the Miura variations. Gooding & Company held its Amelia Island Auction recently and one of it's star lot's was a 1971 Miura SV "Prototype" which sold for a staggering $1,705,000, as far as I am aware a record price for a Miura?
To put the Miura's sale price into perspective, a 1973 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider sold at this auction for $1,320,000 and the Miura's sale price was only beaten at the auction by a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Cabriolet that finally went for a record (for a 212) $1,870,000.
Gooding described the SV Prototype as follows, " Chassis No. 4758 was hand-built as part of a factory project to develop the Miura SV; believed to have been shown at the 1971 Geneva Auto Show; restored by Wayne Obry and Jeff Stephan; won an award in the featured Lamborghini class at Pebble Beach in 2008."
Lamborghini Miura It's believed that this Miura prototype was sold soon after the Geneva show and stayed in Italy for some years before moving to Germany. From there, the Miura surfaced in the U.S. where it was later restored as noted by Gooding.
The Miura remains for me, my all time favourite car design, fellow Miura enthusiasts may want to pick-up a copy of Joe Sackey's excellent coffee table book, "The Lamborghini Miura Bible," arguably the best book available for Miura enthusiasts and anyone looking to buy or restore one of these ultra desirable models.

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!
