Unveiled: Lamborghini Estoque Concept at Paris Motor Show

 

Is it “Hawt” or just “Hot”? I can’t tell, I am torn on the new design but it may be your love at first sight especially if you are looking for a faddish family hauler when your Murci just does not do it for you. This is your answer, the Lamborghini Estoque Concept. View the video of the unveiling at the Parish Motor Show this year below.

Lord Have Murci: 219mph in a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Have you seen the video of the some guy doing 219mph in his Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 on a US highway? Maybe you have but if you have not hear is your chance.

Rumors tell us that there is some litigation going on with arresting this guy and/or prosecuting him for performing this daring act on a United States Highway. So he wanted to push his Lambo to the limits and see what it would really do… that’s what you tell the officer after he pulls you over and asks you “do you know why I pulled you over”. HAHA… now that would be a classic. Anyway, I won’t waste any more of your time because I want you to spend the next 5 minutes watching this exclusive video which was recorded sometime last year. Lord have Murci (mercy) on his soul.

Interesting Car Sighting: Lamborghini Gallardo Spider at McDonalds

  

Lamborghini Gallardo Spider at McDonalds

My buddy Lloyd in Atlanta Georgia was so nice to send me a photo of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spider picking up some items off of the value menu at a local McDonalds. While our economy is fundamentally strong, so says John McCain, the guy driving the Lamborghini Gallardo Spider (retails for $200,000+), has chosen to pick up an item from McDonalds (not coffee) for whatever reason. It seems someone who drives a $200K vehicle may not be so different than the rest of us… maybe, maybe not. Maybe he has to save up some cash to supplement what he has lost in the stock market over the past few days? You decide.

Oh, and while I threw in a little politics in this article, go register to VOTE! If you are not registered to vote, now is a good time to get yourself registered before it is too late!

Batman’s Lambo: Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Featured in The Dark Knight

If you were billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne dubbed Batman aka Dark Knight, what car would you drive? Of course many of you already know what he drove in the biggest blockbuster movie around, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. So why a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640? How about a 640 horsepower 12-cylinder engine and the capability of going more than 211 mph for starters?

“The Murcielago LP640 Coupe is a natural choice of car for Bruce Wayne. We are proud to be associated with one of the greatest movies in history”, said Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini CEO. See our exclusive interview with Stephan Winkelmann on the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 here at Automotive Addicts.

That’s one Hot Ferrari – Ferrari Is On Fire!

It always draws attention when you seen a “high-end” car go up in flames. Well, here is another one that bites the dust. Or should we say ASHES?

Not sure who you would really feel bad for in the situation of a car that coasts well into six figures. I really do not feel sorry for anyone, well maybe the car because it never really had a fair chance. But cars do not have souls do they?

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano shown in this HOT image was being driven by a guy who did not even own the car. It was actually his Bosses car whom asked him to drive it to the repair shop. Simply put, the driver heard a noise and then the car started a fire, a big fire. No one was injured during the incident except the car, obviously.

Below is a video of a Lamborghini Gallardo burning to a crisp… another exotic car that is just too hot to touch. Talking about a big warranty claim here.

Top 12 Worst Gas-Guzzling Cars

With gas prices reaching ALL-TIME highs and yet another raise of the prices to a national average of about $3.40 over this weekend, you may wonder why and how some people ride around in gas guzzlers. Well, simply put, they can not only afford the car payment but they can actually afford to drive them (afford the gas).

Next time you see kids looking out of the window at an SUV barreling down the highway going about 90mph, just imaging him or her saying “daddy, they are rich”. You ask why the kid would say something like this? Well, if you can drive that fast in an SUV then you must have a good cash flow to pay for the $4-a-gallon gas that you are burning up ever-so-fast.

Here is a list of CARS to stay away from (for now while gas prices are high) because of the horrendous amount of gasoline that it consumes. But then-again, if you can afford some of these cars then you probably are not too worried about the price of gas YET.

Lamborghini is BACK with a vengeance: Gallardo LP560

The new Lamborghini showcased at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show is proof that Lamborghini is not just a supped up Audi or the lackluster super-car that is ruff around the edges. Its even more and even better now.

The new Gallardo LP560 gives the Lambo enthusiasts a whole lot more than the older Gallardo and especially from when the Gallardo was first introduced several years ago. This baby will do 0-62 in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 201 mph and it does this with an increase in fuel economy and a reduction in CO2 emissions by 18 percent. Sounds like a new Honda doesn’t it? No sir, this aint no Honda here, well, at least not a street Honda, maybe a race car Honda. But enough about Hondas, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 has, yes you guessed it, 560hp… go figure. The new design cues sets the Lamborghini aside from all others and is sure to turn some MORE heads this go around.
