Tokyo 2010: Mach Girl's ATV-Based Mini Lamborghini Murcielago


If your first though upon seeing this comic-esque baby Lamborghini Murcileago Gallardo was that it was somehow related to the famous Japanese cartoon series "Speed Racer", then you're pretty much right and you should give yourself a pat on the back. See, the quad-bike-based Lamborghini replica was crafted in honor of "Mach Girl", a TV series spin-off based on the original Speed Racer anime that was released in Japan a couple of years ago.

Canadian designer Amadou Ndiaye is at it again with his Lamborghini conceptual proposals. This time, Amadou has envisioned a successor to the Lamborghini Gallardo that he has named the Furia.

Edo Competition's Spicier Lamborghini Gallardo LP600-4


Supercar tuner, Edo Competition, has revealed its latest project, the Lamborghini LP600-4 with minor cosmetic and mechanical tweaks over the standard model. The 5.2-liter V10 engine's output has been cranked up from 560 to 600 horsepower, thanks to an ECU tune and a new high-flow stainless-steel exhaust system, which not only adds 15HP but also weighs 12kg or 26 pounds less than the original piece.

The tuner says that 0 to 100km/h (62mph) acceleration takes 3.5 seconds, with top speed climbing to 340km/h or 211mph.

The Gallardo LP600-4 also benefits from a newly developed sport suspension system, which is adjustable in compression and rebound damping, and new 19-inch three-piece racing wheels shod in Dunlop Sport Maxx rubber size 235/35 ZR 19 up front and 305/30 ZR 19 at the back.

The tuner's package is rounded off by a new front spoiler lip while customers may also individualize the Lamborghini Gallardo's interior with various options and custom leathers and trims.





Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Italian Police Car Crashes Into Parked Vehicles

Only a year after joining the ranks of the Italian State Police, and the world famous Lamborghini LP560-4 Polizia has been totaled in a weird crash that occurred near Cremona this past weekend. Italy's Corriere Della Sera newspaper reported that the police officer in the 560-horsepower 'Raging Bull' supercar was allegedly cruising on the road when a vehicle pulled out all of a sudden from of a petrol station.

In order to avoid a head-on collision, the police officer swerved and crashed into a couple of parked cars. As you can see in the photo shots in the video below, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 ended up, or rather under a Mercedes-Benz A-Class...

The newspaper said that the police officers in the driver and passenger seat of the Lamborghini were slightly injured.

Lamborghini's 2009 Christmas Collection for Gear Heads

The Christmas season seems to start earlier and earlier every year - before we know it, we'll probably be shopping Christmas gifts along with Easter bunnies and eggs... But anyhow. As it did last year and the year before, Lamborghini has created a special Christmas collection that includes a range of limited edition gift-boxed candles, ceramic ornaments and wall / desktop calendars. This year's collection is inspired by its Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni, a limited production RWD model named after the firm's best known test driver.

Lamborghini said that the ceramic baubles in box-sets of three are finished in contrasting Blue Caelum and White Monocerus, two of eight colors which are available on the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni.

We know that you love our supercar galleries so here's our updated album on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder with all the official photos released by the Italian automaker (yes, owned by VW Group).

The Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder accelerates from standstill to 100km/h or 62mph in just 4.0, to 124mph (0 to 200 km/h) in only 13.1 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 201mph or 324 km/h.
