Back in 2001, when the Diablo was the only car that Lamborghini made, they made a decision to make the car only available with all-wheel-drive. Apparently they liked the idea, because no Lambo since then has been offered in RWD. Until now.

The LP550-2 will be considered the base model - which will be modified from the excellent Lamborghini LP560-4. As you can tell from the name, the new Lambo will produce 550 horsepower, all routed to the rear wheels. I’ve always found RWD cars to be more fun than their AWD counterparts, so I’m particularly impressed with this decision. Continue Reading…

You’re probably familiar with supercar tours by now, which include World Class Driving, Road & Track Live, and Gotham Dream Cars. These tours let you and a small group of people take some of the wildest supercars on the road for a drive. Most of these tours travel across the US, and some travel overseas. The problem with these tours is that they range from $1500 to $6400. While this may be a fair deal for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it’s out of most people’s price range. What most people don’t know is that there are some smaller but similar supercar tours, and they can be much easier on your wallet.

We recently had a chance to meet up with one of those groups based out of Charlotte, NC called Supercar Sensation. Started just last year, Supercar Sensation gets you into seven different supercars starting at only $200 - a much more affordable option for most. But are you going to get the same experience as the more expensive options? While it may be less expensive, could it be a lesser value than the rest? Continue Reading…

Talk about something to brag to your friends about. This June, Gotham Dream Cars - an exotic car rental company - is offering their first ever “Legends Dream Car Tour” in the New York area. The company, which normally offers exotic car rental services and group drives (much like World Class Driving,) struck a deal with legendary Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni.

The “Legends” tour will have four total sessions over two days (June 9 & 10, 2009.) The drive will cost a hefty $1495 per driver, but how many other chances will you have to drive with Valentino Balboni? Participants will get four hours total to pilot five cars, 20-30 minutes each. The cars will consist of a Lamborghini LP 560-4 Spyder, Gallardo Spyder, Murcielago, Murcielago LP 640 Roadster, and one other. It would be a very cool idea on this special occasion to offer a couple of classic Lambos to drive, such as the Diablo, Countach, or Miura. Continue Reading…

Lamborghini has just announced they’ve decided to call it quits on their much-ballyhooed Estoque high performance sedan. It was to be Lambo’s answer to Porsche’s Panamera as well as Maserati’s Quattroporte, or was it all just vaporware?

Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV

Instead of our usual random Sunday video, here’s a nice promo video of the Lamborghini Murciélago SuperVeloce doing some driving and sliding around. With the Murcielago SV, we get to see a proper Lambo again, which is becoming increasingly rare in recent models. It’s loud, ridiculous, and out of this world.

The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce shown here has a 6.5-liter, 670 horsepower V12, and is lighter than the current Murcielago by about 220 lbs. Lambo will only be making 350 of these beasts. Check out this article for more info about the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Enjoy the video after the jump: Continue Reading…

Even though things are going les than smoothly for Lamborghini at the moment (for example, they just lost their Orange County dealership), that hasn’t prevented them from moving full steam ahead with new model rollouts. In this case, we’re talking about the new, and highly anticipated Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster.
