Moreover, the battle at the hypercar segment is heating up as Ferrari is readying its all-new Enzo replacement, Porsche the 918 Spyder and McLaren just a few days ago revealed its own weapon, the P1.
Surely then, with the rich of this world getting richer, those nameplates should be not affected by the economic crisis that rages in Europe and has hit mainstream car sales, seriously hurting companies like Fiat and Peugeot.

Joining the Gallardo is the 2013 version of Lamborghini's flagship Aventador LP700-4, which was upgraded on several levels, despite the fact that it has only been on the market for less than a year.
In fact, the changes on the Aventador are far more substantial than on the Gallardo beginning with the adoption of newly developed start-stop and cylinder deactivation systems for the V12 engine.
The start-stop system used on the Aventador is unique and comes fitted with high-performance capacitors known as "supercaps", which allow for a much faster start up than a conventional unit at 180 milliseconds or 0.18 seconds.
While Maranello has since launched two new models to compete with the "raging bull", the Sant’ Agata-based supercar maker has simply responded by refreshing the Gallardo and presenting numerous special edition versions.
This practice proved quite successful, as with nearly 13,000 units sold to date, the "baby Lambo" is the brand's best-selling model ever.

The Italian automaker's entry-level supercar enters the 2013 model year with a light cosmetic facelift and the welcome addition of a new variant named the "Edizione Tecnica".
Most of the exterior styling changes take place on the two ends of the car, with the front gaining a new bumper highlighted by triangular and trapezoidal forms, which are also applied to the rear bumper that sports a new diffuser.
For now, the Sant'Agata-based supercar maker is holding its cards firm to its chest with the short film simply showing numerous components of the car before it reveals a new Gallardo logo towards the end.

So, while we have already shown you our fair share of raging bull models, we thought that a video of stealthy matte black Aventador (ed's note: our choice of paint if we ever win the lottery) and a retina-piercing orange Gallardo Performante, aka the open-top version of the Superleggera, wouldn’t go amiss.

The seller and builder of the replica is "Z and M Customs", which is located in the city of Eagle in Ada County, Idaho.
The company informs us that the Aventador lookalike is built on the chassis and mechanical components of a "GM Holden" with power coming from a "LS1 V8 Corvette with approximately 400HP".

Regardless the reason that gave birth to the idea, the project remains unfinished despite changing several hands (we wonder why….). The person selling the car on eBay states that he was offered the Murcielago-stein as part of a trade deal.

According to CarScoop tipster Adam, the accident took place in the center of Wroclaw, which is the largest city in western Poland, on Sunday afternoon.
It's not clear whether the driver of the Murcielago lost control of the Italian supercar or as some reports have suggested, that he...couldn't decide if he wanted to continue straight or go towards the tunnel. Either way, he smashed into the brick ledge destroying the car.

Among other clones, the mid-engine MR2 has been transformed into a Ferrari Enzo, a Ferrari 460 Modena Spider, a Ferrari F430 Spider, a strange looking creation from Japan called the DragStar F1 Dragon, a Gumpert Apollo and believe it or not, even a Ford Mustang Eleanor.

…or how to spend a few extra thousand bucks on your limited edition Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 to make it a tad more special than the one your next door neighbor parks outside. Beats us why someone would want to muck around with a jewel like the LP640 but we're not millionaires so whatev. Compared to the factory version, Edo Competition’s LP640 features a recalibrated ECU, special high-flow air filters, new high-performance catalytic converters, an exhaust butterfly valve control (remote-controlled on request), a high-flow muffler and new stainless steel exhaust tips. These modifications added another 23Hp to the stock 6.5-liter V12 engine raising output to 663Hp while maximum torque’s up by 15Nm to 675Nm. Wanna hear something funny?

Penned by Rene Harrigan, a BA of Automotive Design at Harrigan’s proposition for a spiritual successor to the LM 002 cuts all military connections though, as the LM 400 is nothing more, nothing less than a modern SUV projected to spend most, or rather, all of its time on and not off, road. Its designer says that it would be based on the Audi Q7 / Porsche Cayenne ? VW Touareg platform using V8, V10 and V12 units. What do you think about it?

Being an amateur collector myself –not a stamp, but a die-cast car collector, I fully understand how many chaps must feel seeing this particular postage stamp issued by the Italian Post Office (Poste Italiane) that's dedicated to the Lamborghini Miura. The €0,85 stamp that features a reproduction of the distinctive Sant’ Agata Bolognese mark, can be purchased along with a limited number of ‘first day covers’ from Italian post offices. The first day cover includes a booklet introducing the stamp and the legendary Lamborghini story, signed by the company’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann. The Lamborghini stamp belongs to the ‘Made In Italy’ series with an anticipated production of around 3,500,000 stamps. 
SV stands for Super Veloce which in Italian, means Super Fast. But hey, doesn’t Lamborghini already have a “sportier” version of the Murcielago, the LP640? They do, and officially, the SV doesn’t exist. However according to the guys at Car magazine and their photographer who snapped some pretty interesting shots, Lamborghini will introduce this special, lightweight version of the Murcielago LP640 at the Frankfurt Show in September. Like the Gallardo Superleggera, the Murcielago SV will go on a diet loosing some 100 kg (220 lbs) thanks to the interior stripping, the addition of carbon ceramic brakes etc. No changes are expected under the (rear) hood with the LP640’s 643Hp V12 continuing to power all-wheels. -Continued belowSource: Car Magazine , Via: Autoblog.it
