DMC Presents a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV-Style Rear Wing for the Gallardo

Not all supercar makers tend to the special requests of customers. Such was the case of a Chinese owner of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 who approached the Italian automaker in order to fit his car with the rear wing of a Murcielago LP670 SuperVeloce (SV).

Lamborghini denied the request, even though money was reportedly not the problem. The unnamed Chinese owner then approached German tuning firm DMC for a custom solution.

Lamborghini LP 700-4 Aventador Dares 950hp Porsche 911 Turbo by Switzer

With 691-horses (700PS) on tap from its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 has a substantial power advantage over any stock Porsche 911 Turbo.

But put Ohio-based Switzer Performance into the picture and then the table turns around with the Porsche sports car gaining the power lead.

When the Sounds of a Lamborghini Murcielago's V12 Piss Off Pedestrians [NSFW]

As strange as it may sound –pun intended- to us gearheads, there are some normal people out there that are not only indifferent about the acoustic properties of a Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640's screaming V12, but will also throw a fit if someone dares to rev the engine on a public street…

This episode took place on the busy streets of London when a by-stander asked the driver of Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 to rev the V12 engine for the camera.

How Does a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Compare Against a…1930s Ford Model A Rat Rod?

Ever since it came to be, we have seen all sorts of reviews and comparison tests of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, ranging from quarter mile duels against the crème de la crème of supercars like the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport and McLaren MP4-12C to a spectacular speed match on a landing strip with a F16 Falcon jet fighter.

As you can see, publications from all four corners of the world have set the bar pretty high when it comes to testing Lamborghini's finest. All the same, that doesn't mean everything has been done.

So, what would you say about pitting the Aventador against a...1930 Ford Model A Rat Rod to see which of the two vehicles attracts the most attention?

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Challenges an F-16 Fighting Falcon to a Drag Race

Pitting an exotic sports car against a jet fighter to see which one is the fastest on the tarmac, is something that has been done before by - you guessed it, the chaps over at the original Top Gear when they brought together a Bugatti Veyron and the Euro Fighter back in 2007.

Nevertheless, this is a challenge you never get tired of seeing, especially when you have new opponents.

So who is the perpetrator this time? It's Danish auto magazine Bilmagasinet, which wanted to see if the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 could beat an F-16 Fighting Falcon on an airstrip.

Prancing Horse gives Ferrari F458 Italia a Kick in the Fender in China

This video gives a new meaning to horsing around. While driving on a busy road in Shanghai, China, a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 were forced to slow down and eventually stop after a pair of horses and their riders were backing up on the street.

Fearing that the horses may hit their vehicles, the drivers of the two Italian exotic supercars decided to make use of their horns...

Lamborghini Gallardo Driver Hits Curb After Failed Drift Attempt

It may seem that we are targeting Lamborghini Gallardo drivers this week, but this is not the case. After all, we cannot control what you, our readers send in our mailbox…

In a somewhat similar scenario to the Gallardo incident in Chicago, a driver of Lamborghini's entry-level supercar, reportedly in Poznań, Poland (according to the YouTube poster ), exits a parking lot with the intent of playing around with the Italian model's rear end.

Wheelsandmore's Light Tune Up of the Lamborghini Aventador

To be honest, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 doesn't exactly need any help in the looks and performance departments, but for those that cannot do without customizing their cars, Wheelsandmore has prepared a first batch of upgrades. Read more »

Lamborghini Gallardo Driver Revs, Loses it, gets Wedged Between Two Cars, All in Chicago

And the facepalm of the day goes to the amazing driver of a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo coupe who succeeded in drawing a whole lot of attention to himself while turning on a quiet street in a suburb of Chicago.

After showing the world how well he handles the gas pedal in neutral offering by-passers the opportunity to relish the glorious sounds of the exotic supercar's V10 engine, the green light came on and off he (or she, we can't say for sure) went to display his driving prowess.

Head past the break to see what happened next in the video that follows.

Prindiville Imagines Tuning the One-Off Lamborghini Aventador J Speedster

We would like to believe that the last thing going through the mind of the person who has or will acquire the one-off, €2.1 million Aventador J are 24 inch rims and carbon fiber spoilers, but for the sake of conversation and some crafty marketing to reach the masses, UK design house Prindiville has released a theoretical tune for Sant'Agata's speedster.

Prindiville's imaginary (i.e. photoshop) creation builds on the limited production design and performance package it offers for the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 coupé, of which only eight examples will be produced.

Live Photos and Video of the Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept from the Beijing Motor Show

Love it or loathe it, the Lamborghini Urus SUV Concept is the star attraction at this week's 2012 Beijing International Auto Show.

The Italian automaker officially insists that there's no decision made yet to produce the Urus, but sources from within the company claim that if the top brass at the VW Group were to give the green light, a production model will be ready by 2016.

Lamborghini's CEO Stephan Winkelmann believes that the Urus could help the brand double its sales and provide a significant boost in profits in the same way that the Cayenne did for Porsche.

The production version of the 5.0 meter long Urus would likely retain the exterior styling of the concept almost intact but feature a more comfortable and less exotic interior design.

Official: Lamborghini’s Urus Concept is a 600HP SUV Aiming for the Top of its Class

Even though a four-door sports saloon is much closer to a supercar maker's philosophy than an SUV, Lamborghini wants to test the waters with a four-seat crossover model.

The VW Group-owned company’s second SUV after the 1980’s butch LM002, was unveiled today at the 2012 China Auto Show in the form of the Urus concept. We have already seen the photos of the crossover, but now have the full specifications on the concept that the company describes as being “a true Lamborghini”.

As is the tradition, the SUV's name is derived from the world of bulls. The Urus, also known as Aurochs, is one of the wild ancestors of domestic cattle. According to the Italian automaker, the Spanish fighting bull, as bred for the past 500 years, is still very close to the Urus in its appearance.

Poll: Should Lamborghini Build the Estoque Sedan or the Urus SUV?

For the past few years, Lamborghini has been swaying left and right to find a suitable third model to expand its range of sports cars that currently consists of the V10 Gallardo and the V12 Aventador.

Today, we had our first view at company's latest effort to entice the public, the all-new Urus SUV, after images of the concept leaked early ahead of a scheduled world premiere at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show on April 23.

Back in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show, the Italians had previewed their idea of how a low-slung four-door sedan should look like with an impressive concept named the Estoque.
